Inflatable Kayaks

5 compared on the specs that matter

An inflatable kayak packs into a bag, fits in a car trunk, and still handles moving water when it’s built for it. This page compares every inflatable kayak we cover by the specs that matter: length, number of seats, load capacity, floor, and weight.

Decide solo or tandem first. A tandem can often be paddled solo, but it’s longer and heavier to carry. Longer boats track straighter on flat water, while shorter ones turn more easily in current. Check the floor and the weight together: they decide how the kayak feels underfoot and how far you’ll want to carry it to the water.

Every spec below links to its source. Open a kayak to see its downsides and who should skip it.
