Welcome

Seahopper from Wellington, Somerset, UK is the world's No.1 versatile foldaway boat.

Who would imagine that nestled at the foot of the Blackdown Hills in Wellington, Somerset you would find a boat yard.

Even more surprising is that this boat yard has produced over 7,000 boats since 1974 to satisfied customers all over the world.

Seahopper Folding Boats manufacture dinghies from top grade marine ply which are very robust and stable on the water.

What's different about these dinghies is that they fold to make them extremely portable. A Seahopper Folding Boat can be carried on a roof rack, in a caravan or motor-home, launched from a river bank or beach and stored in a garage or shed without taking up much space.
