An inflatable lift assembly for raising and supporting a boat over a body of water, without completely removing the boat from the body of water, includes a port-side inflatable floats connected to a starboard-side inflatable float by a plurality of cables. The inflatable floats each include an outer end opposite an inner end, a valve attached to the floats proximate the outer end and in fluid communication with an interior of each float, and an anchor tab where the plurality of cables couples the two floats together. The inflatable floats may be inflated by pumping compressed air into the interiors through the valves while the floats are placed under the boat, causing the floats to gently lift the boat slightly above the water. Embodiments may be sized according to the particular size of the boat being supported.
