10 Best Inflatable Kayaks for Rivers (October 2026) Complete Guide

Rivers are the one place where a cheap inflatable kayak can hurt you. A lake boat floats lazily and shrugs off a submerged branch; the same boat on a river takes water over the gunwales on every wave, sits low in the seat, and meets gravel bars and rocks with no rocker line to protect the hull. After spending a season comparing specs, review data and owner reports across this category, the best inflatable kayaks for rivers come down to three things: whether the boat drains water back out, how tough the outer fabric is, and how many air chambers it runs. Get those right and the rest is preference.

Our overall pick is the Sea Eagle 370 Pro, because it is the only boat in this group that a manufacturer rates to Class III whitewater while still weighing 33 pounds and packing into a car boot. It is not a fast boat in current. It is the one we would take onto a river with gear in it.

This guide covers ten inflatable kayaks that a river paddler could realistically own, sorted by how they behave in current rather than by price. We look at whitewater suitability, self-bailing floors, air chamber count, tracking hardware, carry weight and what happens when the boat scrapes a rock. Every figure here comes from the manufacturer listing and the owner review record, and this guide was last updated in October 2026. If you want the short version, start with the table below; if you want to know why these boats and not the ones that rank first on marketplace sites, read the whitewater section further down.

Top 3 Inflatable Kayaks for Rivers

Those three cover most river paddlers. The Sea Eagle 370 Pro is the boat you take when the current moves you whether you paddle or not. The Intex Explorer K2 is the boat you take when you want a two-person platform that has survived more owner abuse reports than anything else in this group. The Intex Excursion Pro K2 is the fishing boat, with rod holders and a phone mount already fitted.

All Ten Inflatable Kayaks for Rivers in 2026

1. Sea Eagle 370 Pro – the river pick we trust most

This is the boat we would choose for a river with actual current in it. Sea Eagle markets the 370 Pro for Class III whitewater, and at 150 inches long with a 34 inch beam it has the length to carry speed and the width to keep a beginner upright. The rigid I-beam floor is the reason it feels like a kayak rather than a raft.

Its 650 pound capacity is behind only the BRIS 14.1, which matters more on a river than on a lake because a moving-water trip fills bags with water, rope, food and a spare layer. Owners running rivers report that two adults plus a cooler fit without the paddler constantly checking clearances.

The tracking is the part that impressed us most. Two bottom skegs plus that I-beam floor keep a straight line down a mild rapid without constant micro-corrections, which is exactly the quality that separates a river kayak from a pool toy. The trade is speed: it is not going to outrun a hardshell, and against a headwind you will feel the difference.

Two details matter before you commit. The seats have no D-ring attachment, so in a capsize they can drift, and the bundled paddles are short for the beam, which produces a wide, splashy stroke. Both are cheap to fix later. Neither is a reason to skip the boat.

What to check before a river trip in the 370 Pro

Confirm the chambers are at equal pressure before you launch, because a soft chamber changes the rocker and the boat tracks crookedly. Dry the boat properly before repacking, since trapped moisture in a drop-stitch or I-beam floor is the start of a mould problem.

Fit the seats before you need them rather than after a swim, and plan on replacing the included paddles if you paddle a full day. The foot pump moves plenty of air, so you do not need an electric pump unless someone in your group is impatient.

Where the 370 Pro is the wrong choice

It is a 33 pound boat with three-person packaging, and it is not a creek boat. If your river involves narrow lines, low bridges or repeated scouting, a rigid packraft is a more honest tool. This is also not the boat to carry on a train or hike in for an hour.

If your water is flat and your trips are lake-based, you are paying for whitewater capability you will never use, and the Excursion Pro K2 or Explorer K2 will serve you better. The 370 Pro earns its place when the current is doing something to you.

2. BRIS 14.1ft Inflatable – the load hauler for big water

This is one of the most heavily specified boats in the group and one of the most likely to survive a bad trip. The 1100 denier PVC hull with heat-welded quadruple-overlap seams is the construction you want on a river, where the failure mode is a seam letting go when the hull deflects against a rock edge.

The drop-stitch floor is genuinely stiff. Owners use it as a standing platform for loading gear at a gravel bar, which is a capability none of the I-beam boats here offer. With a 770 pound capacity and three plywood bench seats, it is also the natural choice for hauling a cooler, a dog, or a pile of camping gear down a wide river.

Two air chambers per side tube is the redundancy you want when a branch appears where the channel was. Four fins plus triangular transom splash guards keep it tracking on a straight reach of moving water.

Which is a catchier way of saying the boat is one of the harder-carrying two-person inflatables here, and one of the heavier three-person boats on the market. The trade is a hull that shrugs off a rock, and that is the right trade for a river trip. A second drawback is scale: at 14.1 feet this is open water, not a twisty creek.

Who the BRIS 14.1 is built for

Think wide, slow rivers, reservoir runs and multi-day trips with heavy gear. A family of three with a full camp load, or an angler working a big river, will use the capacity better than a solo paddler will. The bench seats also make it the easiest boat here to convert for a passenger who does not paddle.

Check the rated pressure for the drop-stitch floor with the maker before your first inflation, because a soft floor turns a rigid platform into a slow boat. On a river trip, inflate to the specified pressure at the put-in, not at the car.

Where it falls short

Wind and tight water. Four fins on a boat this size generate real drag, and owners on shallow rivers report having to lift or manage them around submerged wood. The bow and stern are also much harder to turn in fast current than the 370 Pro is.

If your put-in involves a carry of more than a few hundred metres, this is the wrong tool regardless of its construction quality. Look at the Explorer K2 instead and accept less capacity for a far better carry.

3. Intex Excursion Pro K2 – the fishing and gear-storage pick

The Excursion Pro K2 is the one here that arrives with fishing hardware in the box. Two detachable rod holders, a GoPro or phone mount, stainless steel D-rings for dry bags and extra storage in the bow and stern. If your river days are about fishing rather than touring, that kit saves you a shopping trip.

The shell is 3-ply laminate SuperStrong PVC, which is heavier than a single-layer inflatable but noticeably tougher against abrasion and UV exposure. At 12.7 feet it is a tandem layout with a 400 pound capacity, and owners report it handles two adults plus gear without the paddler feeling cramped, which is the complaint that turns up most often in smaller tandem inflatables.

Two removable skegs help it hold a line, and the high-pressure inflation scheme gives a firmer deck than the budget inflatables further down this list. On a river, the bow and stern storage matters more than it does on a lake, because there is nowhere to put wet gear except inside the boat.

Where it falls short is carry weight and speed. At 44.7 pounds this is a two-hand, two-person job at a car park put-in, and the hull has no glide to speak of against current or wind. The included 86 inch paddles are also short for the beam, so expect to replace them.

River fishing versus river touring

If you are fishing, the fittings decide it and this boat wins. The D-rings let you clip a tackle bag, the rod holders stop gear sliding when the current picks up, and the phone mount keeps your hands on the paddle instead of your camera.

Note that it is a fishing boat rather than a self-bailing river boat. It will handle mild river water, but it carries no whitewater rating, so treat it as a flatwater and slow-river platform rather than a moving-water one.

Before you buy this one

Budget for a paddle upgrade and consider a pump that does not require an hour of arm work. The hand pump included works, it is simply slow on a boat this size. A pressure gauge is also worth adding, because the printed instructions are not clear about chamber pressure.

If you need real current capability instead of fishing features, step up to the Sea Eagle 370 Pro. If you need a boat you can lift solo onto a roof rack without help, this is still too heavy, and the Explorer K2 is the better answer.

4. Intex Explorer K2 – the most proven two-person river value

The Explorer K2 has the deepest owner record of any boat on this list, and what that record describes is durability on river runs with rocks and brush. The 4.4 rating across more than 30,000 reviews is not a marketing number; it reflects thousands of people putting a vinyl inflatable into moving water and getting back out.

Construction is a vinyl hull with an inflatable I-beam floor, low-profile deck and high-buoyancy side chambers, inflated with quick-fill Boston valves. At 10.3 feet it is short, which makes it more manoeuvrable in current than a longer tandem, and the removable skeg is a genuine river feature because it keeps the bow from wandering across eddy lines.

What we like is the flexibility. Remove one seat and it becomes a solo boat with a full-length deck, which suits a river angler who wants space for a net. What we do not like is the seat pair, which sits close together with thin backs, so taller paddlers will want a seat pad and a wider stance.

The seam along the top of the side chambers rubs a paddler’s hands, which is a real annoyance over a full day of a stroke, and the carry bag is thin enough that you should treat it as consumable. Replace the included paddles early.

What the 120 rule means for this boat

The common river rule is that combined paddler and gear weight should sit under 120 pounds for a boat in this class. With a 400 pound rating, this boat has plenty of headroom for one or two people, so the limit on a river run is volume, not weight. Pack your gear low and forward, and keep heavy items away from the bow.

On a two-person day, use the 120 rule as a minimum rather than a maximum. Every item you add is another item that has to dry if the boat swamps, and a self-bailing floor is only useful if there is not standing water to carry.

Where the Explorer K2 is the wrong pick

It has no whitewater rating and no self-bailing floor, so it belongs on slow rivers, lakes and estuary water. If your river runs rapids, we would not put it there. The Sea Eagle 370 Pro exists for exactly that case.

It is an unglamorous choice, which is part of why it works. There is nothing proprietary about it, so when something eventually fails, patches and spares are easy to find.

5. Intex Challenger K1 – honest limits on moving water

The Challenger K1 is a common first-kayak pick, and on a pond it is hard to argue with. It inflates in about five minutes, weighs 26 pounds, and owners report years of creek logs, submerged branches and rock contact without a puncture. That toughness is genuine.

What makes it a poor river boat is not durability but behaviour. At 9 feet with a 220 pound capacity and a single seat, it is slow, and in current the tracking becomes serpentine. A recurring point in owner discussions is that the removable skeg matters enormously, and that a Challenger without its skeg is genuinely hard to keep on line.

It also has no self-bailing floor. On water that stays out of the boat, that is irrelevant. On water that comes over the gunwales, you end up bailing with a sponge, which is a miserable way to spend a river day.

The paddle is the other recurring complaint; the bundled one is short, low quality and often swapped out within a season. The seat backrest is flimsy enough that its valve can deflate when a paddler leans back into it.

When a Challenger K1 is still the right call

For a first kayak on a slow river, a sheltered lake or a reservoir, it is hard to beat. The 26 pound carry weight means one person can get it to the water from a car park without help, and the cargo net carries a cooler and a tackle box without a deck bag.

If you buy it, buy a skeg that fits properly and store it in the same bag as the boat. Check the skeg before every launch, because a skeg working loose in a river is a bad afternoon.

Why we would not take it down moving water

Slow, low, 220 pounds rated, no drainage and a skeg as a critical component. That combination works until the river pushes back, and then the boat that felt stable on the bank feels like a coracle. For current, choose the 370 Pro or, if you need to carry the boat, a packraft.

This is not a criticism of the boat. It is a warning about the category, because several marketplace roundups place this class of inflatable at the budget end of a river list, which is where beginners look first.

6. Sevylor QuickPak K1 – a pack-first solo design

The QuickPak is built around one idea: the bag is the seat. Strap it on your back, walk to the river, unzip it and inflate. At 20.3 pounds packed, it is a light boat to carry to a put-in that is not next to a car park, and that portability is its whole selling point.

It also has multiple air chambers, so a single puncture does not end the trip, and a tarpaulin bottom that adds some protection when you drag it across a gravel shoreline. Double Lock valves are quick to work, and the backrest plus multi-position foot rest make long sessions more comfortable than the seat arrangement on cheaper solo boats.

Where we hesitate is the fabric. 21-gauge PVC is thin, and reviewers consistently describe it as suited to lakes rather than rocky river beds. The 4.1 average is the second-lowest figure in this group, and the 9 percent one-star share reflects that.

The 400 pound capacity for a solo boat is generous and means you can carry a lot of gear, but the narrow beam means it feels twitchier in wind than the wider tandem models. Stability and speed both drop off in current.

Best used for solo river days with a short carry

Pick this if you are one person, you paddle alone, and the walk to the water is the hard part. The seat-in-a-bag design also means there is one object to keep track of, which removes a whole category of forgotten-equipment problems at a remote put-in.

Carry a patch kit regardless, and check the seams after any shoreline drag. Thin fabric is more forgiving of abrasion than of puncture, so a single thorn ends the trip.

Where it falls short on moving water

Thin fabric, narrow beam, and a seat that does not give you much back support in a current. It is a lake and sheltered-water boat with a genuinely good packing system, and on a river with rocks it is not the one we would choose.

If the walk to the river is short, the Explorer K2 gives you more boat and more capacity for a similar carry burden. If the walk is long and technical, this is still the more sensible of the two.

7. GYMAX 12.5ft – the drop-stitch floor winner

The GYMAX 12.5 is the boat here that comes closest to hardshell behaviour once it is inflated. The removable high-pressure drop-stitch floor stands up to standing on and to a wake, and it counts as a third air chamber, which is a genuinely useful redundancy on a river trip.

Owners single out that floor as the reason the boat is more responsive than cheaper inflatables. Reinforced laminated PVC, a 507 pound capacity and front and rear bungee storage make it a solid two-person platform for a long day on a wide river.

Tracking is good with the rear skeg installed, and owners find it turns quickly once it is in. Many owners advise running the boat without the front skeg, because several describe it hooking onto submerged wood like a fishhook, and that is a river-specific failure you do not want to discover on your own.

The bundled aluminium paddles are the weak point; they throw a lot of spray and several owners have broken or replaced them. Seat backs are low with support straps that slip, so a seat pad is a common and sensible upgrade. Note also that the listing is branded GYMAX while the product is sold under another brand name, which some buyers find confusing.

What a rigid floor changes on a river

Rigidity is a safety feature, not just a comfort feature. A stiff floor transmits paddle strokes into forward motion instead of deforming, which means you steer with small corrections rather than large ones, and it keeps the boat flatter in a cross-current. It also gives you a stable platform for gear handling at a landing.

The trade is weight and bulk. At 39 pounds with a removable floor you must carry, this is not a hike-in boat. It suits a put-in you can drive to or reach by a short cart path.

Where it falls short

The front skeg issue is not a minor annoyance on a wooded river, and the low seat backs will bother anyone paddling for a full day. The instruction and repair-kit documentation is also weak, so read the glue instructions before you need them rather than during a roadside repair.

There is no whitewater rating, so treat this as a river-runner for calm and moderate water, not a rapid boat. The BRIS shares the drop-stitch advantage with far more hull capacity and a heavier carry.

8. Bestway Hydro Force Cove Champion – a wide, stable single seat

The Cove Champion is built around stability. A 32 inch beam on a 9 foot hull gives a wide, flat platform that is genuinely hard to tip, and that matters for beginners, for cold-water paddlers in a wetsuit, and for anyone fishing who needs to stand to cast.

Owners report that the rugged vinyl holds up to rocks and branches, and that it takes a 55 pound dog climbing in and out without complaint. The firm rigid floor, wraparound grab rope and a drain hole on the valve side make the pack-down less tedious than most.

To be clear, this is not a whitewater boat. Reviewers note it drifts noticeably in wind and does not handle rivers or whitewater, and the keel fins that work in open water snag in shallows and around logs, which is a problem the moment you get near a riverbank.

The included seat is uncomfortable for the lower back and hips, and the 91 inch paddle is too short, forcing awkward strokes that drip water into the boat. The carry bag is thin enough that it will not survive heat in a car boot.

Who this wide single seat suits

A paddler who is larger than average, wants to fish from a standing position, or is simply nervous in current. The extra beam means a capsize takes longer and recovers more gently, and the 220 pound capacity is fine for one adult plus light gear.

The 26 pound carry weight is manageable for one person at a roadside put-in. Add a seat pad and a correct-length paddle before your first trip, because those are the two upgrades every owner makes.

Where it falls short on a river

A wide, flat hull with keel fins is exactly the wrong combination for current. The fins snag, the bow wanders, and there is no self-bailing floor. Use it on a lake, a reservoir or a slow reach, and choose something else if the river moves.

Its 4.0 rating with a 10 percent one-star share reflects the split between buyers who got what they wanted and those who wanted a river boat and bought a pond boat by mistake.

9. Bestway Hydroforce Ventura – a coated-nylon two-person set

The Ventura is one of the best-constructed two-person boats here by material spec. The hull is premium coated nylon rated against puncture, UV, oil and water, and it has an integrated drain valve, which is the closest thing to a self-bailing floor in this group.

Interlocking quick release valves make setup and pack-down faster, and the I-beam floor with removable side chambers gives a stable platform for two adults up to 440 pounds.

Two removable middle fins add directional stability, which helps in a straight reach of current where a boat with a softer keel line would wander.

Where the cons go deeper, the 15.62 kg weight is a real burden at a put-in, and the paddle holders sit low enough that your hands rub against them through a full stroke, which is the kind of small annoyance that shows up after three hours of paddling.

Its 4.0 rating with a 12 percent one-star share is the widest spread between extremes here. Buyers who wanted a coated two-person river set tend to be satisfied, and the unhappy reviews concentrate on the seat, the paddle holders and the sheer size of the packed kit.

Family and pair considerations

This is the boat for two adults on a calm river with a non-paddling passenger. Adjustable seats, a wide 34 inch beam and 440 pounds of capacity handle a heavier paddler or a child plus gear. Two adults can fit, though a rear passenger will want a cushion.

Before the trip, check that the drain valve is actually open. It is easy to leave closed after a pack-down, and an open drain valve on a moving river is a small safety habit worth building.

Where it falls short

The packed kit is the problem. This is not a boat to walk a kilometre to a remote launch with, and it has no whitewater rating. If your river runs technical, use the Sea Eagle 370 Pro.

The seat and paddle-holder complaints are solvable with a few accessories, so they are not reasons to skip it. The carry weight is not solvable, so factor it into your decision before you buy.

10. Bestway Koracle X1 – built-in fittings for anglers

The Koracle X1 is built specifically for angling. The rod holder and oar clasps are moulded into the boat rather than clipped on, features that cheaper boats leave you to sort out with a strap. The 4.4 rating across 135 reviews with a 71 percent five-star share shows a consistent product rather than a lucky listing.

Inflata-Shield material resists puncture and limits stretching, which on a fishing river matters because you are constantly hauling yourself over the gunwale onto a bank. Four footrests and a built-in backrest handle paddlers of different heights, and the 331 pound capacity gives a solo angler real room for a net and a catch crate.

At 7.3 kg it is among the easiest boats here to carry, and the two fins in different sizes let you tune the tracking for open water versus slower water. That is a small feature that most budget boats cannot offer.

Take the fins off before you drag the boat ashore. Owners are clear about this, and the fins can loosen or damage if the hull grounds out with them installed. That habit matters more on a river bank than anywhere else.

Why the angling fittings matter on a river

A rod holder on a moving boat has to be moulded or properly bonded, because a loose one will put a bent rod in the water. A built-in holder and oar clasps solve the problem that owners of cheaper boats solve with a rubber strap and a prayer.

The 331 pound capacity is also a sensible fishing number. It leaves room for one adult, a tackle crate, a fish bag and a paddle without the boat riding low, and a low-riding inflatable in current is an unstable inflatable.

Where it falls short

The built-in backrest is fixed, so if it does not suit your back, you cannot change it. There is no tandem version in this set, so a fishing partner means carrying two boats.

It has no whitewater rating and no self-bailing floor, so this is a slow-water and estuary fishing boat rather than a moving-water one. If you want to fish a river with current, look for a hull with a self-bailing floor instead.

What Whitewater Class I to IV Means for an Inflatable Hull

Nobody rates inflatables by whitewater class, and that is the single biggest gap in most roundups on this topic. The class system describes how hard moving water is, and it tells you what your hull has to survive. Here is the version you actually need when shopping for an inflatable.

Class I is flat water with small ripples, and any boat on this list will handle it. Class II is straightforward current with small waves and you must be able to correct quickly, which is where a removable skeg and a keel start to earn their place. Class III is real rapids with standing waves, holes and obstacles that can pin a boat, and it is where construction quality stops being a specification and starts being a safety margin.

Class IV is advanced whitewater with gradient drops and powerful hydraulics. It is not a recreational category for a general-purpose inflatable, and none of the ten boats here belongs in Class IV water. Boats marketed to Class III and above are built with heavier fabric, welded seams and a hull shape that deflects off obstacles rather than wrapping around them.

Only one boat here carries a whitewater claim from its maker: the Sea Eagle 370 Pro, marketed for Class III, which is why it takes the top slot. The other nine have no class rating, which means treat them as calm and slow-water boats regardless of how good their owner reviews look.

How to Choose an Inflatable Kayak for Rivers

Self-bailing floors come first, and this is where most roundups get it wrong by defining the term instead of using it as a filter. A self-bailing or self-draining floor has a slight upward angle to the bottom and drain holes at the ends, so water that comes over the gunwales runs back out to the river instead of pooling in the boat. On a river, that is the difference between a wet ride and a boat that fills up and drags.

Next is fabric. A coated outer shell in the 1000-denier class or heavier, with welded rather than stitched seams, is what resists abrasion from rocks and gravel. The BRIS 14.1 with its heat-welded quadruple-overlap seams is the clearest example here. Thin 21-gauge PVC, by contrast, is a lake fabric no matter how good the boat feels in a showroom.

Then count the air chambers. A boat with one chamber is one thorn away from the swim. Multiple chambers, and ideally a separate drop-stitch or I-beam floor that is itself a chamber, give you redundancy and rigidity at the same time. The GYMAX 12.5 and the BRIS 14.1 both do this well.

After that, look at tracking hardware. Skegs and removable fins are what stop the bow wandering across eddy lines, and on a river you will feel the absence of a skeg immediately. Check whether the fins are removable, because fixed fins snag on submerged wood at a riverbank. The GYMAX front skeg is the cautionary example.

Weight capacity matters less as a number and more as a rule. A common river guideline is that combined paddler and gear weight should stay under 120 pounds for boats in this class, and any boat you consider should have capacity well above that. Then check the actual volume, because a tandem inflatable that crams the pump, the bag and two people into a flat space will have everyone shifting weight all day.

Deflated pack size and carry weight deserve more attention than roundups usually give them. A boat that fits in a car boot is not the same as a boat you can carry to a put-in. Most of the damage to inflatable kayaks happens while carrying them across a car park, not while floating on the river.

Solo or tandem is a river decision, not just a size decision. Solo boats are more manoeuvrable in current and much easier to carry, and they give one person a full-length deck for gear. Tandem boats are stable, carry more and suit mixed-ability pairs, but they are longer, slower to turn, and impossible for one person to handle alone at a remote launch. If you are learning on a river, tandem stability is a real advantage.

Finally, decide how much of the boat you will actually use. A self-bailing hull for Class I to II, a coated tandem for a slow gear-hauling river, and a single angling boat for a reservoir are three different purchases. Buying the angling boat and taking it into moving water is the mistake most often made by readers of marketplace roundups.

Inflatable vs Hardshell on Moving Water

Inflatables win on portability and forgiveness, and they lose on speed, tracking precision and edge control. Knowing which side of that line your river falls on is the most useful thing in this article.

Where inflatables win is stability. A 32 inch beam inflatable is far harder to tip than a narrow hardshell, which matters for beginners and for anyone in a wetsuit. They also fold away into a cupboard, and a puncture on a river bank is a ten-minute fix rather than a trip home.

Where they lose is performance. None of these boats has the glide of a hardshell, and against wind or a head current you will feel it. Hardshells also hold an edge, which is what a technical paddler uses to carve around obstacles, and no inflatable here does that.

For Class I and Class II rivers, a well-built inflatable is a good tool. For Class III you need a boat with a class rating and welded construction. For Class IV and technical creek work, a rigid packraft is the better tool, and a packraft is also the boat class that fits in a backpack for a hike-in launch.

What to Carry for a River Paddle

A personal flotation device is non-negotiable, and a paddle-only inflatable with no PFD is a boat you should not launch. Wear it, not stow it, and choose one that fits over clothing rather than one that only fits over a t-shirt.

Add a whistle, a small bailer or sponge, a spare paddle, a patch kit sized to your fabric, and dry bags for anything that must stay dry. Carry the pump even if you have a spare, because a deflated boat in a remote place is the end of your trip.

Check local flow reports and water temperature before you launch, and tell someone your launch point, your route and your expected return time. On a river, the fastest water is rarely where you think it is, and the self-bailing floor only helps if you are in the boat when the water arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Verdict: The Best Inflatable Kayaks for Rivers in 2026

For a river that actually moves you, the Sea Eagle 370 Pro is the pick, because a Class III rating, a rigid I-beam floor, two skegs and 650 pounds of capacity in a 33 pound package is a combination none of the other nine matches. For a wide river with a heavy gear load, take the BRIS 14.1 and accept the carry weight. For angling, use the Excursion Pro K2 or the Koracle X1.

For everything else on a slow river, the Intex Explorer K2 remains the most sensible two-person inflatable here, with the deepest owner record and a removable skeg. Check the water, wear the PFD, and pack the patch kit.
