Mitch spent 25 years working in the office products industry, first with 3M and then with the Xerox Corporation. His passion has always been boating so in 2003 he started Sunset Inflatables. Sunset Inflatables has grown a lot in the last 8 years. It became a Flagship Dealer for AB making it one of the largest dealers in the U.S. Sunset Inflatables is a platinum dealer for Johnson/ Evinrude outboards, full line dealer for Mercury outboards and a full service Honda package dealer.

It is also the largest Walker Bay Genesis dealer in California and the newest Avon and Mercury Inflatable dealers.

In 2007 Sunset Inflatables became Sunset Inflatables and Marine with an added focus on doing re-powers and outboard service.

In 2009 Sunset Inflatables purchased Dinghyland and now is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of Delphinus boats at www.dinghyland.com. Then in 2010 we took over the Aqualine sport boat line from Boats in Bags founder Egon Nordleth.

Above all, Mitch wants his customers to know that he appreciates their business and will endeavor to provide a personal and satisfying experience when doing business with Sunset Inflatables and Marine.
