We take this out frequently on Lake Geneva. It inflates easily and is comfortable for two adults.
The pump isn't very durable, we have replaced it. We have also bought different oars. Those that come with the kayak are heavy and the hadn grip area is narrow.Pro
- Easy to set up, easy to use.
Contra
- Paddles are heavy. Does not come with a carrying bag
A well-made inflatable boat in the shape of a kayak. ...
A well-made inflatable boat in kayak form. Very pleasant to steer on the river trips so far. Can be set up/blown up quickly and also folded up again quickly. The outer shell seems sturdy. The luggage net is practical for small items, for the rest it is recommended to use the space in the back of the boat. The seats are easily adjustable and provide good support.
I wasn't convinced by the paddles that came with the boat, so I replaced them with Sevylor paddles (from the accessories here at Galaxus).
I would recommend this boat for its value for money, it is a lot better than most of the rubber/inflatable boats you see on the rivers.Pro
- Stable boat
- comfortable seats
Contra
- Paddles
- No pocket
Fun to use, price/performance ratio is right, would buy it again.
- The boat lies well and safely in the water, the danger of capsizing when getting in and out of the water is small. I also had no problems with it despite being 71 years old.
- Since you sit very low compared to the water surface, the assembled rudders are a bit short, the middle tube should be a bit longer. The immersion depth of the oar, the holding between the couplings as well as the fastening to the Velcro loops, which are a bit too short, when drifting would be better. The Velcro loops on the sides are too close together, a defined position of the assembled oars e.g. outside the couplings is not possible. I will look for a tube in the trade that is about 35 cm longer, in the middle and fits. Already we have lost a nut of a coupling, it will be seen how the procurement of spare parts behaves.
- The seat backs are a bit low for tall people.
- After use, the boat should definitely be placed on the stern in an inflated state so that all residual water in the boat can drain off. Otherwise you will have the residual water in the transport vehicle later.
- The boat has proven itself very well on trips on the Rhine to date, the price/performance ratio was good, I would buy it again.Pro
- Good, stable position in the water, thus relatively safe entry and exit on the way
- Sufficient and safe space for carried things
Contra
- Seat backrest a little low
- Retaining loops for the oars do not fit for a defined attachment of the same to the boat
