Airfloat, the original modular pontoon system that is manufactured and managed here in Ireland has improved their Eirglide, dry boat docking system for 2024.
Airfloat was born and conceived in West Cork. To this day, the plastic modules are produced by Carbery Plastics in the Clonakility Business Park. Recognisable by their distinctive standard green colour, the modules have stood the test of time, with some systems in place for over 20 years with little to no maintenance.
Airfloat was recently adopted into the MarineServices.ie family. MarineServices.ie is the commercial arm of the highly successful Irish National Sailing and Powerboat School, managed by Kenny Rumball. The main speciality of this company is the provision of marine services to the Televison and Film Industry, however as the company has evolved they have taken on some key agencies for Ireland. These include Selva Outboard Engine Sales, Yamaha outboard engine servicing, propulsion electric engines, RAD Propulsion, RS Electric Boats and RS Sailing, to name a few.

For 2024, the company has redesigned their original Eirglide system. EirGlide is designed for simplicity just drive on and reverse off your boat. Simply ballasting the end modules, by adding water, creates a gentle curve, this curve submerging the end modules allows the Boat/RIB/Jet Ski to drive onto the EirGlide with no hard impact. The all-new system has an even smoother curve, allowing full care to any boat that wishes to be kept out of the water.
The advantages of keeping your boat out of the water are endless, however, some of the main benefits are;
- No need to antifouling
- Reduced Maintenance
- Ability to easily cover your boat
- Ability to keep your boat near the water throughout the year.
- Airfloat have systems available in a range of colours and can deliver and install nationwide.
