ULYZ s.p.r.l. is a Belgian shipyard and brand that designs, manufactures and markets inflatable boats and Rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RIBs).
Founded in 2006 by Alexander Mandl in Brussels, Belgium, ULYZ started out selling just one model of an inflatable boat that came in different sizes. Two years later and ULYZ had created three other models (Starter, Freedom, and Expert) and started selling RIBs to appeal to a wider customer base. [1]
The name ULYZ is derived from Ulysses, a character in ancient Greek literature.
In June 2007, ULYZ released their very own catalogue consisting of 8 inflatable boats - some notable inclusions were the ULYZ U-SD-500, ULYZ U-SD 600 and the ULYZ U-SD 245. [2]

In August 2010, ULYZ established the Club ULYZ to serve as a community of ULYZ boat owners. It includes a website with forums and blogs and gives members the possibility to talk about their hobbies (fishing, nautical activities for example), and share their boat experiences. The club aLeo makes it possible that members can make suggestions to help develop new products. [4]

A dinghy is a type of small boat, often carried or towed by a larger vessel for use as a tender. Utility dinghies are usually rowboats or have an outboard motor. Some are rigged for sailing but they differ from sailing dinghies, which are designed first and foremost for sailing. A dinghy's main use is for transfers from larger boats, especially when the larger boat cannot dock at a suitably-sized port or marina.

A rigid inflatable boat (RIB), also rigid-hull inflatable boat or rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB), is a lightweight but high-performance and high-capacity boat constructed with a rigid hull bottom joined to side-forming air tubes that are inflated with air to a high pressure so as to give the sides resilient rigidity along the boat's topsides. The design is stable, light, fast and seaworthy. The inflated collar acts as a life jacket, ensuring that the vessel retains its buoyancy, even if the boat is taking on water. The RIB is an evolutionary development of the inflatable boat with a rubberized fabric bottom that is stiffened with flat boards within the collar to form the deck or floor of the boat.
An inflatable boat is a lightweight boat constructed with its sides and bow made of flexible tubes containing pressurised gas. For smaller boats, the floor and hull are often flexible, while for boats longer than 3 metres (9.8 ft), the floor typically consists of three to five rigid plywood or aluminium sheets fixed between the tubes, but not joined rigidly together. Often the transom is rigid, providing a location and structure for mounting an outboard motor.
A Rib is a bone attached to the spine, in vertebrate animals.
