Composites
Whether you're in the back country or staying close to home, you can rest assured you are safe on Aerocet floats.
Our composite construction is durable, easy to maintain and offers simple options for short term repairs when you are far from home. Strong, water-tight and more than capable, the integrity of these floats will allow you the peace of mind you deserve.
Construction unparalleled, design unmatched, we know you'll love your Aerocet floats for a lifetime.
Hull Design
Designed for high-speed acceleration with minimum drag, our hull design allows for stable and quick take offs, as well as smooth and floaty landings. The double fluted design delivers superior strength to weight ratings, and sharp edges for reduced drag and increased hydrodynamics.
Each of our floats have a large flat deck with anti-skid molded in, allowing for safer and easier operations when beaching and docking. Not only stronger and faster, this hull design provides exceptional performance in both smooth and rough water conditions.

Compartments
Enjoy extra storage space for your journey with 2 storage lockers per float. Our storage lockers have large access doors as well as optional floorboards for flat storage, making them extremely useful.
Each float has six water-tight compartments, one more than most, which is an additional safety factor. We have incorporated sizable access panels with integrated pump-outs with all stainless-steel hardware for each compartment, a mechanics delight, and your peace of mind.

We also use special aluminum chine rub strips, designed to resist constant abrasion while also providing another seam overlap.
