Description
Bombard Commando C5 15′ 5″ – Maximum Capacity Heavy-Duty Inflatable
Overcoming the challenges of transporting large teams and heavy equipment in remote areas, the Bombard Commando C5 is the flagship of the Commando range at 15′ 5″. This professional-grade craft utilizes a massive rigid wooden keel to provide unmatched tracking and sea-keeping abilities for a foldable boat. For American commercial operators and expedition leaders, the C5 offers a high-volume platform that can carry up to 9 passengers, making it the ultimate tool for navigating large USA river systems, coastal sounds, and remote island archipelagos where a trailer-based boat is impractical.
Designed for extreme durability, the C5 features a reinforced aluminum floor system and oversized buoyancy tubes that provide a rock-solid feel underfoot even in choppy conditions. The heavy-duty transom is built to handle a 60 HP outboard, providing the high-torque performance needed for fast-planing under maximum load. For the USA market, this model represents the pinnacle of foldable inflatable technology, combining the mechanical strength of professional workboats with the portability required for the most demanding American maritime adventures.

Bombard Commando C5 Service & Performance Guide
What is the maximum horsepower for the Bombard C5?
The C5 is the flagship of the range at 15 feet 5 inches and is rated for a massive 60 HP (short shaft). For commercial transport or heavy expeditions, a 50 HP outboard provides the necessary thrust to move the boat while fully loaded with 10 passengers and gear.
What are the weight and transport requirements?
The dry weight is 282 lbs. Due to the length and weight of the heavy-duty aluminum floor panels and wooden keel, the C5 is almost exclusively operated from a bunk or roller trailer. The 6-foot 3-inch beam offers immense interior volume, making it the preferred choice for eco-tour operators and survey teams.
What is the payload and passenger capacity?
The C5 is rated for 10 adults or a 2,535 lb total payload. Its 20-inch diameter tubes provide a very high freeboard, keeping the interior dry and providing a significant safety margin in offshore conditions. The V-keel is specifically sharpened at the bow for improved wave-cutting performance.
What are the unique professional features?
It includes a reinforced bow towing ring, multiple internal D-rings for gear tie-downs, and double-layered fabric on the underside of the tubes for beaching protection. The transom scuppers are oversized to allow for rapid drainage of green water in heavy surf conditions.
How is the C5 maintained?
Inspect the keel-to-transom joint annually for signs of stress. Ensure the wooden keel sections are treated with a fresh coat of marine varnish if scratches appear. The aluminum floor should be checked for debris in the side stringers to prevent wear on the tube fabric during high-speed operation.
