“The Walker Bay (Genesis) has innovative features not seen in RIBs this small before.”

"It's incredible that I had to wait 35 years before seeing this boat!!! It is easy for children and adults to fall in love with boats and water by exposure to the Walker Bay! I live with my family near a large river and it is nice to row early in the morning with the birds, and go sailing with my kids in the afternoon!"

“What sets it apart is that it’s not only extremely light, but also extremely rigid. It really defies expectations. Something this light ought to be a floppy, insubstantial “pool toy”. But this isn’t like that at all. It feels substantial, sturdy, structurally sound.” -

“RIB’s usually makes boaters think of Jacques Cousteau, but Walker Bay’s Generation 390 is James Bond all the way. Its molded transom trunk is straight off the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. Its teak trim and racy console echo the styling of the inboard launch used in Man With the Golden Gun. And its deep-V hull, sharper than any other RIBs this size, might have landed soft had it jumped the highway in Live and Let Die. It all it’s the perfect small boat to tour Monaco’s waterfront casino’s – or any harbor – in style.”

“When I hung up the phone (after speaking with Walker Bay Customer Service) I told my husband I must have died and gone to Heaven because that is not the usual way business has been done lately. I am thrilled. Be assured we have told everyone about our wonderful new toy and the way business is done by Walker Bay. You can't imagine how nice it is to do business with a company that is professional and considerate."

“I was very impressed with the quality of finish and construction on the Generation. I also liked the attention to detail in the design. It’s obvious the company is taking its time introducing new models and doing it right.”

“I don’t think there is another sailboat with this much indestructible fun built into it, (and) this much style.”

“We really like the Walker Bay because it’s easy for the kids to get off the dock on their own, the amount of sail area makes it quite the little performer and we don’t have to do all the repairs that our fiberglass boats need. They make a great junior sailing fleet.”

“It not only handles like a champ in the water but also has a great design, look and style to match as well.”

“I love our new boat. I was the president of the Bay City Rowing Association and rowed Alden singles for many years. Our new Walker Bay 8 gives me the same thrill of being on the water, but at a much kinder treatment of an arthritic knee that prevents me from rowing shells now. Thank you so much for building such a fine product, I really mean that.”

“I am writing to thank you for your excellent customer service. Please also accept my congratulations on your fine engineering and design. I am new to the world of sailing and my new Walker Bay 10 is the first boat I've ever owned. I am very impressed with the thought that went into the design of the boat such as the pulley system on the rudder, wheel in the keel, cup holders in the seats, etc.”

“I was drawn to the Walker Bay because it resembles the classic wooden skiff of my childhood. We absolutely adore this (walker Bay 8) little boat”

“I recently purchased a new Walker Bay 8 from my local dealer here in Scotland, after having owned a wooden rowing boat. I am absolutely delighted with my purchase, which is so much easier to handle than a heavier wooden boat, yet is virtually indestructible and maintenance-free. I am also very impressed by the design features, such as the detachable-blade oars and full oarlocks, which make for very smooth progress through the water. Finally, the Walker Bay "clinker style" finish makes for a particularly good looking boat, as well as adding rigidity to the hull.

"I was really impressed with the new line and how well the boats perform."

“Walker Bay’s (Rigid Inflatable Dinghy) gets the BWS seal of approval. It does everything it’s supposed to and does it well.”

"After 35 years in the marine industry I am extremely discerning. I think Walker Bays are the ideal boat for both "off the beach" and as a tender. With the delivery of my Walker Bay 9 RID, I will own three Walker Bay boats."

“I assembled (the Walker Bay 10) myself, which by the way was a real joy. Every product that advertises "some assembly required" could learn from you. The instructions were mostly clear, concise and the parts being in individual, numbered bags with an assembly tool were a pure joy.”

“These boats are awesome!!! Once the kids get over their white knuckles, they proceed to sail full ahead. Unfortunately, they often encounter other boats. With a fiberglass boat, we would have had a hole in the hull after such an experience. With the Walker Bay 8’s and 10’s, we have boats that just keep on sailing. We use the Walker Bay 8’s as many sailing clubs would use an Opti Pram. The 8’s outperform the Opti prams. We have them side by side in regattas.”

“Last week I purchased a Walker Bay 10. We took it into the often-rough waters of Kachemak Bay off Homer, AK. It performed beautifully. It was a joy to handle with oars or under power. As a matter of fact, we forsook the motor in favor of oars because it was so easy to row and control. We have two young girls ages 5 and 6 and we felt comfortable with them in it at all times. As a matter of fact, my 6 year old took the helm with power and oars and had a ball. She is not ready to solo, but it is coming. Thanks for building such a versatile, durable, and above all, safe boat.
