There’s nothing like floating down the river or cruising around a lake, but purchasing a traditional boat seems overly expensive, not to mention all the space they take up. You need an inflatable boat.
Heavy-duty vinyl construction
Affordability and comfort meet with this kayak by Intex, which comes with a high-input air pump for easy inflation. Adjustable seats and backrests ensure the cockpit is comfortable for anyone, and there’s plenty of space in the two-person cockpit. Removable SKEG offers directional stability, and the kayak’s bright yellow color ensures you’re visible when you’re out on the water. While it’s designed with small, calm bodies of water in mind, it’s perfect for mild rivers and gentle lakes. Heavy-duty vinyl construction ensures it’s puncture-resistant, and the inflatable I-beam floor offers superior rigidity to the craft.
Fits up to six people
This floating island raft offers the perfect way to enjoy the water, whether it’s a quiet lake, lazy river, or even a big pool. It fits up to six people comfortably and includes built-in cup holders and backrests for everyone. A detachable sunshade for the raft ensures you have a bit of shade on those hot days, and the mesh floor area of the raft lets you keep your legs and feet cool in the water. Constructed from tear-resistant, durable PVC, the raft handles all water settings from the ocean, beach, river, or lake. It folds up when deflated, so it’s easy to store, and there’s a heavy-duty repair patch included in case your adventure leads to an accidental tear.
