Rating: 5.00 (11 reviews)

Description

Don’t let the looks deceive you - Boat Wings are built tough. Made from commercial-grade materials, they’re designed to deliver safety, protection, and stability, while remaining lightweight and compact. When not in use, they simply roll up and store neatly on the side of your boat, acting as a permanent heavy-duty fender.

Engineered by commercial fishermen, every detail has been designed for maximum durability and performance:

With Boat Wings, your vessel instantly gains the stability and comfort of a much larger boat—without the extra fuel or running costs.

Every Boat Wings set comes with a free high-quality hand pump, allowing you to inflate and deflate your setup anywhere with ease.

With Boat Wings, you’re not just upgrading your vessel—you’re transforming it into something that feels like a bigger, safer, more capable boat.

Installation

Boat Wings Installation Part 1: How to Mount the Track
In Part 1 of our Boat Wings installation series, we show you how to correctly mount the aluminium track to your boat. Proper preparation and installation are essential for a strong, long-lasting fit and the best performance on the water.

In this video:

* Mounting the Boat Wings track
* Installation tips and best practices
* Tools you’ll need
* Preparing for the next installation step

Watch Part 2: Installing and sliding the Boat Wings onto the track.
Step-by-step guide
1. Clean the hull thoroughly
Use a suitable cleaner followed by rubbing alcohol to remove all dirt, grease, and residue.
2. Position the Boat Wings area
Decide where along the boat front to rear the wings will sit.
Keep it even and balanced.
3. Find the waterline
Ensure the boat is floating with no one onboard then mark the natural waterline along the hull.
4. Mark the bottom track line
Starting from the rear of the boat(Stern) measure 40mm(1.6 inches) up from the waterline.
Draw a straight line - this is the bottom of the lower track.
5. Mark the top track line
From the bottom track line, measure 120mm(4.7 inches) up and mark a second line.
6. Reduce top track line height at nose
Toward the front/Bow of the boat (last ~1m/40 inches), reduce this gap to ~105mm(4.1 inches).
7. Prepare the sail tracks
Lightly sand the back of the sail tracks and clean with rubbing alcohol.
8. Prepare the hull surface
Lightly sand the install area on the hull surface and wipe clean again with alcohol.
9. Position tracks correctly
Ensure correct groove orientation.
The outer groove is used for the wing rope(Keder).
10. Start from the front(Bow)
Begin installation at the front(Bow) using the 1m long pieces first and work toward the rear(Stern).
11. Shape as you go
Slowly bend and mould the track to follow the hull.
Once you are happy with the shape, get ready to add the guide lugs.
12. Add blue guide lugs/spacers
Add blue lugs into the ends of the groves of the sail track.
13. Apply adhesive
Apply adhesive evenly to the back of the track.
Do not over-apply. A moderate amount is best.
14. Fit the sail track
Press firmly into place along your marked lines.
After installing the initial sail track, make sure to connect the next tracks using the blue guide lugs.
This will help to maintain the curvature of the track at the joins and to ensure the wing rope(Keder) will slide thorough smoothly.
15. Clean excess adhesive
Remove any excess adhesive neatly before it cures.
16. Strengthen the install (NEW)
Apply a thin, neat bead of glue along the outer edge of the sail track to further strengthen and seal the install.
17. Allow to cure
Leave for 7 days before installing the wings.
18. Push out blue lugs (NEW)
Once cured, remove or push out any temporary blue lugs.
19. Install internal strips (NEW)
Feed the thin strip of material into the internal track (top and bottom).
20. Fit the wings (NEW)
Have someone assist you.
Start from the front of the boat and feed the wings into the external sail tracks.
Ensure the bladder(inflatable tube) is inside and not twisted.
Slowly align all the way to the rear.
21. Inflate and test (NEW)
Inflate the wings and check alignment and fit.
If fitting isn’t right, you can deflate and adjust.
22. Final securing (NEW)
Once satisfied, install the provided stainless steel screws into the ends of sail track, by screwing directly into the rope/keder to lock everything in securely.
Key Notes

Bottom track: 40mm above waterline
Track spacing:

120 mm standard
~105 mm at bow (last 1m/40 inches)

Install front → rear
Use less glue than you think
Clean install = strong install

This product has proven to be very effective, especially when navigating choppier waters. It significantly reduces splash, which enhances the overall experience. I appreciate how it makes my small boat feel more stable and secure, particularly at higher speeds.

My Boat Wings is all that was promissed and more. The Boat Wings has transformed my very unstable boat into the most stable boat I ever owned! Many thanks for a great product.

Wow these things are transformational. I wanted the stability of a inflatable but the strength of a tinny and now I have both, so good. My kids can lean over the side of the boat without me worried about them falling in the water. It's made fishing standing up in the boat very stable and easy. Not only that when you get up on the plane and go through chop and wakes and waves it just handles so well. I can't recommend them highly enough.

After looking through the testimonials and talking to Greg I purchased a set of boat wings. Greg was awesome, he actually came down from the Gold Coast to the Hunter Valley to help me install the tracks. He did a great job and after the tracks set I put the wings on. My boat has a narrow beam and can rock n roll in chop. I am a fly fisher and stability is absolutely important to aid casting. I have had 2 outings so far in the wind and I could not be happier. The Boat Wings are a great product and Greg is a terrific bloke. I cannot recommend both the product and Greg high enough.

I’ve had 2 x runs in the bay with my new boat wings and I’m more than happy with how they perform. The real test is yet to come- a trip to Cape Moreton from Scarborough.

I refer to the BOAT WINGS as the next generation of the boat stabilising industry. I started communicating with Greg on the 21 May about his product and in the 25mins of our conversation I knew Greg was a down to earth, genuine Aussie bloke passionate about his product. My rig is a HORIZON side console 4.35m Easyfisher PRO.

I wanted to view the product on Greg’s tinny before advancing the next step – buying one. Luck for me Greg lived close by and we arranged it one SAT morning on 29 May to meet at the local boat ramp. Greg went through it all with me and we took his tinny for a run. It was great! What was even better, Greg come back to my place and we sized up my boat – he came prepared and brought a set of grey BOAT WINGS ready to put on my boat.

The weekend before I marked up the waterline with and without bodies in the boat. Greg wanted to be sure, and he took the time to check this again and we dragged the boat back down to the water to confirm where he wanted the BOAT WINGS to be placed.

When we got back home he said let’s do this! So, we installed the rails to the boat and the following weekend Greg returned and we fitted the BOAT WINGS.

After this it was a matter of timing to take it for a run – this turned out to be yesterday 20 June. Normally the forecast like this we would have said no but I was itching to try the BOAT WINGS out. They lived up to their expectations!

My son and I did the usual ritual of putting on the wet weather gear to save getting wet. [1] At a guess, the WINGS reduced the boat spray by approximately 90%. The advantages kept coming – [2] ride quality improved, instead of ploughing through the waves we were riding the top of the waves – [3] no need to shuffle gear around or shifting your weight on the edge of your seat to get a balanced ride, BOAT WINGS eliminates this – [4] boat was super stable when landing fish with 2 of us on the one side – [5] troll motor in spot lock in these conditions usually popped out of the water [with 2 of us fishing from the back of the boat] creating air bubbles and giving dead spots on the sounder, not anymore – [6] the hole shot timing has improved, it was a struggle sometimes even after trialling different props – [7] my motor always sat low in the water with a jacking plate and heavy stern, this has improved with the extra buoyancy the WINGS provided – [8] and finally, I was prepared to adjust the height of the motor but doesn’t appear I have to.

This is the best one thing I have done for my boat to provide a safer more stable ride in Moreton Bay. We sometimes venture to Cape Moreton for a better fishing experience – this will give me more confidence when we plan these trips to know we feel a lot more safer.

Thanks, Greg, for the time and effort you put into me. Your service is second to none.

Regards Alf and Jake.

UPDATE: 2ND trip with Boat Wings - photo showing how the wings push spray downwards giving you a drier ride. Especially in a smaller open boat.

Wow I cant recommend Greg enough. From start to finish. Very honest. When I ordered Greg rang me said Hay mate I've over charged me. Sent me back a refund. Weeks later I sent a message Hay mate I'm having a problem. Within a week Greg was on a plane on he's way to me. He sorted out. Then a follow up.. has completely changed me little boat. Great product great company awesome person. He lives he product. Fantasic honest business thankyou Greg

Stump grinding central coast review photo

I’ve put the 2.9 wings on my 3m tinny and they’ve been an absolute game changer!! I live aboard with two dogs up in FNQ and getting out to my mooring has always been interesting in rougher weather. Now I’m rock solid in the water. I can’t recommend them enough!!

Also, my tinny has a NMs under the hood, so her hull isn’t as smooth as it once was. I was able to shape/grout the rails for an absolute bulletproof grip and the wings just slid straight on!!

Just installed a set of boat wings and have found them to be pretty transformational. I’m getting a dryer and more stable ride and as I do a lot of fishing , am enjoying the stability at rest.
I also went with Boat Wings because I didn’t want to have to remove the boat floor and start drilling through the hull.
Very happy customer and love this new innovative product -to the team at Boatwings - thanks for making boating even more fun and safe 👍

Arrived on time and in perect order. Great product. Greg K is extremely helpful. On both ordering and installation. Will give an update when fully installed.

I recently purchased a set of Jetski wings. I find they are brilliant for stability and ease the natural bounce a jetski has in chop. They are also great for stability when the jetski is at idle, particularly when I am offshore fishing.

Frequently asked questions

About

Why would I need Boat Wings?

Boat Wings are designed for people who want extra stability, a softer ride and added protection for their boat.

They can also be used as a tender on larger boats, providing additional safety and support when moving around the water.

Where are our Wings manufactured?

We design and manufacture Wings ourselves in Brisbane, Australia.

As the manufacturer, we can supply replacement parts, technical support and assistance whenever required.

Fit & Sizing

Which boats are compatible with Boat Wings?

Boat Wings are suitable for aluminium and fibreglass boats.

We do not recommend installing Boat Wings on HDPE or plastic boats, because we cannot guarantee a permanent adhesive bond to these materials.

How do I choose the correct Boat Wings size?

Use our Size Guide to match your boat’s length with the recommended Boat Wings size.

If you are unsure, contact us with your boat make, model and length, and we will help you choose the correct size.

How far do Boat Wings extend when rolled up?

When deflated and rolled against the boat, Boat Wings sit approximately 40 mm from the hull.

Installation & Use

How do I install Boat Wings?

You can install Boat Wings yourself. No tradesperson is needed. We supply custom aluminium tracks, high-quality flexible adhesive and easy-to-follow instructions.

Prepare the surface, position the tracks, apply the adhesive and secure the tracks as instructed.

Allow approximately 10 days for the adhesive to fully cure, then slide the Boat Wings into the tracks, secure them and inflate.

Does installing Boat Wings require drilling or hull penetrations?

No. Boat Wings require no drilling or hull penetrations.

The supplied adhesive bonds the aluminium tracks directly to the prepared surface.

Can I remove Boat Wings without damaging my boat?

Yes, if you follow the correct removal procedure.

The adhesive forms an extremely strong bond, so removal takes time.

Carefully cut through the adhesive and remove it progressively with suitable non-damaging tools to protect the gelcoat or painted surface.

What pressure should I inflate my Wings to?

Inflate the Wings to approximately 2 PSI.

This provides the correct balance of firmness, flexibility and protection.

How do I inflate and deflate my Wings?

Each Wing has a quick release valve, and a free hand pump is included.

Wings inflate in about a minute and deflate in seconds.

Materials & Durability

What are Boat Wings made of?

Boat Wings have an inner bladder made from thick TPU, high-frequency welded for extreme strength.

The bladder sits inside an outer casing of 100% tightly woven monofilament HDPE, which is so tough that even hooks struggle to penetrate it.

The Boat Wings then slide into high-quality aluminium tracks that are bonded to your boat with a strong, flexible adhesive.

Repairs & Parts

Are the Wings resistant to punctures?

Yes. Our Wings are designed to withstand everyday boating conditions.

The internal bladder uses high-quality TPU, and the protective outer cover is extremely tough and is there to help protect the bladder.

However, in the unlikely event of a puncture, use the supplied TPU repair patch kit and follow the included instructions.

If required, we can also express post a replacement internal bladder. The bladder is designed to be easily exchanged, helping you get your Wings back in service quickly.

Can I purchase replacement parts?

Yes. We are the manufacturer and stock replacement parts.

If your Wings are damaged, we can express post the required parts. In the unlikely event of a puncture, a simple sticker-based puncture repair kit is supplied and is easy to use.
