Hi Laurna There isn't a pump specifically for these but I'm sure one could be adapted with some ingenuity. The bags are designed to be blown up orally, blowing up 3 in a row isn't a quick job but once in place they only need topping up before sailing and letting pressure out after a sail which is very manageable Regards David
