Hi All,
I noticed a post dating back to 2023 for North Sea Inflatables (division of Red Dot Technologies Pty Ltd) regarding his inflatable boats. This is a total scam. I ordered a boat in March 2026 and paid in full. They came back with one excuse after another delaying the delivery (raw materials, freight delays, etc.) and dragged it past 120-days when I could claim a credit card chargeback. Then all communication stopped, with phone calls unanswered and emails unanswered. I lodged a complaint with NSW Fair Trading and they could not contact the company either. Do your own research and you will see that other trading companies (Omnipack) under that entity have court winding-up orders against it. They did sell boats at one stage apparently, but it looks like they are now trading insolvently and are scamming people like me, as they know the talk and everything about inflatable boats. Don't be a fool like me and stay well away. It is a SCAM!

FWIW, the most recent doc listed by ASIC for 30 June this year is a dismissal of a wind up application. There have been 3 applications to wind it up in the last 5 years, two dismissed and one withdrawn.

The history of Red Dot Technologies with ASIC is as follows:
Date Doc no. Description
30/06/2026 033080059 Notification Of Dismissal Of Application For Winding Up Order (519C)
3/06/2026 033062906 Notification Of Application To Wind Up Company Under S. 459p, 462 Or 464 (519G)
19/03/2026 032736105 Notification Of Withdrawal Of Application For Winding Up Order (519B)
9/01/2026 032707569 Notification Of Application To Wind Up Company Under S. 459p, 462 Or 464 (519G)
23/08/2024 6EFBQ0468 Change To Company Details (484) Change Of Registered Address (484B) Change Of Principal Place Of Business (Address) (484C)
21/03/2022 031260449 Notification Of Dismissal Of Application For Winding Up Order (519C)
17/11/2021 031088388 Notification Of Application To Wind Up Company Under S. 459p, 462 Or 464 (519G)
19/07/2018 030351659 Application For Registration As A Proprietary Company (201C)

Apparently North Sea Inflatables (northseainflatables.com.au) "has transitioned to the registered trademark" Noordzee inflatables (noordzee.com.au). The trademark was registered in 2024.

thanks for posting your experience with this entity, I was considering them as a replacement for my ageing inflatable but no longer. 👍
