About Falcon Inflatables
Falcon Inflatables (known as Infanta Inflatables 1985-1995) was born as a hobby of owner Marius Heyneman. The passion for boating started in the late 1970's - river racing was followed by offshore racing in the early 1980's.

With a mutiple race-winning trackrecord, in 1985 the first Infanta Inflatable boat was assembled in Swellendam, approximately 200km East of Cape Town South Africa.



The business grew. During the early 1990's, the Infanta brandname was sold, excluding designs, to continue as Falcon Inflatables (export label), operating the factory for the first time all under one roof. The resultant increase in quality control turned Falcon into a world-class product, widely considered as one of the highest quality manufacturers in Southern Africa.



The passion for racing returned early in the present century - and this time Falcon completely dominated RIB racing, winning every race entered, until this racing class was abandoned in South Africa.



Racing grew and Marius' designs became race winners - Falcon's took the first 5 positions of the toughest inflatable race in the world, the 1000km Trans Agulhas challenge, for the first 5 years in a row (before withdrawing from racing) - this record remains undefeated.

The first Falcon 5m semi-rigid inflatable was launched in 1989 and had a point to prove - with adventurist Mike Baker at the helm it navigated the entire South African coastline - the only inflatable boat to ever achieve this.



The present day Falcon family consists of Marius, his wife and three sons. We share a common goal design the most efficient hulls, and to manufacture the safest, most durable, highest quality rigid inflatable boat fleet in the world, using the latest technologies and materials available.

Thousands of Falcon RIBs are in use with Governments, Conservancies, Police/Military patrol, Rescue services, and  of course many satisfied recreational customers globally. A Falcon is designed to outperform and outlast the competition. All products are manufactured to the international ISO 6185-3 standard and carry a 5 year warranty.

There are many inflatable boat manufacturers throughout the world staking claims to their product superiority – we would like you to decide for yourself. All we can say is that once you have been on a Falcon, you will realize just how capable and hassle-free an inflatable boat can really be.
