Thousands of Boats in Use Today
Our Backwater 7.5 hull is a tried and tested design. We have sold hundreds of boats since their inception in 2004. Many customers have enjoyed their boats for more than a decade. We build them to last.
The Backwater brand dates back to 2001 with our introduction of the Backwater Baby. This boat paved the way for the Backwater 7.5 which has gone through some design alterations and improvements throughout the years. Our current model has the most significant improvements.
- Added a front seat
- Completely redesign rear seat
- High density flotation foam
Here are what customers have told us about our boats:
I fish out of a Backwater and love it, they're easy to launch and much more effective than using a float tube or kick boat. We are always fishing from a double anchored position which is where small prams really shine.

I love your boats. I'm a single father of two little girls and love to go on adventures with them

Love that little boat! Fish a lot of ponds but due to a shoulder injury my 2 man plastic boat is a bit too much for me to handle alone. Your boat is perfect for those days I want to fish by myself!
