Frequently Asked
Q: What is the maximum horsepower for the Adventure Shark inflatables?
A: We built our boats so you can push them harder than most portables:
Adventure Shark 380– Rugged aluminium transom designed for long-shaft motors up to 20 HP
Adventure Shark 280– Lighter package but still rock‑solid aluminium transom designed for long-shaft motors up to 10 HP
Most small inflatables top out around 6–15 HP before you start stressing their mounts or hull. We’ve beefed ours up so you can plane sooner, carry more gear, or just cruise faster—without worrying the motor will rip the transom off.
Why it matters to you
More speed & range:
Bigger engine means you’ll cover water faster and spend less time rowing or trolling.
Built‑in strength:
Our aluminium transoms won’t warp or rot like wood or cheaper plastics.
Peace of mind:
You’re running within the boat’s design limits—no scary surprises on the water.
Bottom line:
If you want a reliable, solid little inflatable that handles a proper outboard, pick the model that matches how much horsepower you need—380 for up to 20 HP, 280 for up to 10 HP—and head out with confidence.
Q: Do Adventure Shark inflatables come with a pump, and should I consider an electric pump for inflation?
A: Yes—you’ll get a simple, hand‑operated pump with every Adventure Shark boat so you can get on the water right away. It’s easy to use and reliable.
That said, lots of our customers also grab an electric pump as an add‑on. Here’s why:
Saves time & effort: Instead of a few minutes of pumping by hand, an electric pump inflates your boat in under a minute.
Less tiring: Great if you’ve got a long day on the water ahead or you’d rather spend your energy paddling and fishing, not pumping.
Plug‑and‑play: Just hook it up to your 12 V outlet (or your car battery), switch it on, and you’re done.
The bottom line:
You absolutely don’t need an electric pump to enjoy your Adventure Shark—your manual pump will do the job. But if you value speed and convenience (and a bit more chill time before you launch), it’s a smart extra.
Q: How long does it take for my order to be shipped and delivered?
A: We usually pack and send your order within 1–2 business days after it’s confirmed.
As for delivery times:
Standard shipping:
Around 4–7 business days
Express shipping:
Usually 2–3 business days
Keep in mind, things like bad weather or courier delays can sometimes slow things down—but we’ll always do our best to get your gear to you ASAP and keep you in the loop.
Bottom line:
Fast dispatch, clear communication, and your order on the way quick-smart.
Q: How can I track my order’s shipping progress?
A: As soon as your order ships, we’ll send you a tracking number and a link so you can follow it every step of the way.
Just click the link, and you’ll see real-time updates from the courier—where your order is, and when it’s due to arrive.
Easy as that.
Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes—we can ship internationally to many countries!
But because international shipping varies so much, you’ll need to email us first to get things organised. Unlike our Aussie customers, international orders aren’t set up for online checkout just yet.
We’ll help you sort out:
Shipping costs and delivery times
The best option for your location
Any customs or import fees (these are your responsibility)
Bottom line:
If you’re outside Australia and keen on getting your hands on one of our boats, just shoot us a message—we’ll take care of the rest.
Q: Do you offer product warranties for your items?
A: Yes—we stand behind our products. Both the Adventure Shark 380 and Adventure Shark 280 inflatables come with a 3-year warranty, giving you peace of mind from day one.
Some of our other products may have different warranty terms, so it’s always worth checking the product page for details.
If you’re unsure or want to confirm something, just reach out—we’re here to help.
Bottom line:
Our boats are built to last, and we back them with a solid warranty to prove it.
