I don't normally write many reviews but this is so good it needed its praises sung!!... I needed a boat for an overnight river trip down the Medway with a mate and our two 7yr old sons. I have a small hatchback with no roof rack so a fibreglass canoe was not an option. Inflating the boat is easy just pump each chamber evenly and it will sit square. I bought the Intex Double quick pump...5 mins from bag to boat...Brilliant. Following some other reviews for inflating the seats....just pull the valve ...pump up.... click the valve back down again which seals it then pop the bung in...couldn't be simpler!! The boat is super stable and easy to paddle the kids fit easily and find the seats comfy.. Due to its flat bottom it does turn very easily...(sometimes when not required) put the little fin on and and that sorts it out. I am a level 3 canoe coach and have many hours paddling under my belt and this felt no different to any other 'solid' boat. The seats are pretty hopeless for a 6 footer to paddle from sitting so kneeling up perched on a dry bag with sleeping bags and clothes in worked well for me. you can use a kayak paddle if you need but i paddled it single paddle as an open boat to great effect! We had 4 bags with enough food and camping stuff for an overnight plus supplies for 7 miles down stream and 7 miles back the next day. It took it all with ease, very impressed. It went down canoe shoots flat and straight with ease and I lifted through locks on my own no worries. When it came to packing up, just pull the valves fold and chuck it in the boot. For cleaning and drying i just pulled the floor out shook out the leaves and used soapy cloth to get the worst of the marks off. Its now all clean and dry packed away ready for the next trip which is soon.

Great canoe. Very tough and sturdy yet easy to paddle, easy to inflate and deflate. Hard to put back in the travel bag but nothing too bad. Strong winds can blow it sideways. Well worth it.

I purchased this to take to Anglesey, first time using an inflatable kayak. Feels solid and hopefully it will last, I went with this one because it had the nylon outer lining, although it feels very durable it is heavy, especially when wet and takes a bit longer to dry out than a standard pvc kayak... I found the water got underneath the nylon on the inside which proved impossible to dry out entirely. Overall a solid kayak for the price. Yes it has its faults, the seats are a pain to inflate fully, it takes forever to dry and it is heavy when wet but it was great fun to use and I'm happy with my purchase. One adult +2 kids

Bought for paddling about with 4 year old while camping. Quick and easy to inflate with a stirrup pump. I use a kayak paddle (Double ended) and sit my 16.5 stone self in the middle seat which gives me good control and good buoyancy. My weight raises the other end of the boat too much if I sit either end and makes control harder. Maybe fair to say heaviest crew member will be best suited to middle seat in my experience. My boy sits up front with a traditional canoe paddle. I only use it in calm weather on flat water. Wind over about 10mph will blow you in that direction which is to be expected from a light, high sided inflatable. Keep an eye on wind direction and strength so you don't blow away! Perfect for my scope of easily portable family play boat with a few longer paddles in super stable weather conditions. I tend to clean out sharp sand and grit when we get home to avoid abrasion on the tubing inside. The side tubes and outside of boat are fully covered in tough fabric. The removable inflatable floor is not covered so I take care getting in and out to avoid damage. A cover would be good for the floor but its a minor point. Packs down to suitcase size and fits easily in my Nissan Qashqai boot next to the hound. We love it :)

The outside section is Well made durable lining, however, the inside of the kayak, is a glued seem which is like a cheap air bed. After spending £300+ one small puncture cases the whole side to split , and after multiple attempts to repair , it would tear again. I expected pay a premium prime for long term value, sadly it ended up in the bin, only a paddle and pump left. I would strongly advise people to check the inner section regularly , and any weak veins, return it before it pops and out of warranty. Sorry for such a negative review, but for the money, durable external , cheap internal .. compromised design

I've been looking at buying a kayak for a while to take the family out for a paddle on the river ways. As there are so many and at vastly different prices, I was hesitant to buy a cheaper one. This is a classic and very good quality, especially at this prices point. A great deal! We had a great weekend out on the Thames and it did exactly as I wanted I expected.

Ottimo prodotto, ma i tubolari vanno sistemati manualmente all'interno delle sacche, altrimenti, una volta gonfia la canoa assume una forma asimmetrica. La deriva è troppo piccola, quindi meglio sostituirla (sempre se si trovano con lo stesso attacco).

Vorab: Das zusammengefaltete Schlauchboot ist gefühlt schwer, weil, ist es einmal aus der Originalverpackung heraus, auch etwas sperrig wird. Ich habe es mit einer zusammenklappbare Sackkarre zum Einsatzort gefahren. Der Kanadier ist mit einer Doppelhubpunpe (wird nicht mitgeliefert) in nur 10 Minuten aufgeblasen. Das Boot ist doppelwandig aufgebaut. Die Außenhülle macht einen robusten Eindruck und sollte auch mal einen Steinrempler gut überstehen. Sollte dem Boot dennoch mal "die Puste" ausgehen, kann für eine Reparatur der aufblasbare Boden herausgenommen werden; die Seitenkammern lassen sich durch das Öffnen der Reißverschlüsse auf der Innenseite in der Außenhaut entnehmen. Wie auch schon in anderen Rezensionen geschildert, machen die Luftkissensitze beim Aufblasen Probleme, weil hier an vernünftigen Ventilen gespart wurde. Wer geschickt und flink ist, schafft es trotzdem, die Sitzkissen mit ausreichend Luft zu füllen. Dennoch, das kostet einen Stern. Ist das Boot erst einmal zu Wasser gebracht und man hat seinen Platz eingenommen, sitzt man bequem und der Spaß beginnt. Ich habe mir zwei Stechpaddel dazu gekauft. Paddeln Vorder- und Hinterman weitestgehend im Takt, kommt der Kanadier gut in Fahrt und zeigt einen stabilen Geradeauslauf, der durch die Heckfinne unterstützt wird. Wir fahren das Boot mit zwei Erwachsenen und einem Kind und bleiben dabei knapp unter der empfohlenen Zuladung von 200 kg. Damit liegt das Boot gut und stabil im Wasser. Wer als einzelner den Kanadier auf dem Wasser bewegen möchte, dem empfehle ich den mittleren Sitz und ein Doppelpaddel. Im leichten Wildwasser habe ich den Kanadier noch nicht gefahren, werde aber nach gemachter Erfahrung meine Rezension ergänzen.

Kanu ist leich, stabil, schnell aufzubauen und fährt sicher und richtungsstabil. Für 2 Erwachsene und ein Kind ideal für Bootstouren in Küstennähe. Salzwasserfest.
