A good compromise between storage space and packing size.
We actually bought the inflatable boat just as a "toy dinghy" for our kids.

It's quick and easy to set up, and when inflated, the boat feels safe and stable.

When rowed, the boat is very stable and easy to maneuver. We haven't tested the motor.

Tender to Bavaria
It's simply fantastic when used with a Honda 2.3 hp. It's light and inflates quickly with the electric pump.

Provides plenty of room for 4 people.

Super fast delivery from SVB

Top Dinghy
We replaced our old dinghy, which had a heavy wooden floor and was too heavy to handle on deck, with this inflatable boat. We are very satisfied. It is relatively light, well-made, and comfortably equipped with the bench. Four people can sail dry. I think the boat could even carry six people in calm water. The inflatable floor is great. If water does spill over, it drains under the floor, and your feet stay dry. The inflatable keel also makes the boat very stable. With no more than 120 kg in the boat, we can get it to plane with our 4 hp 2-stroke outboard motor. The bench is also well-made and stable. As always, the ordering service and delivery from SVB were perfect.

Unfortunately a bad purchase
This boat sails well. It has a lot of space, the equipment is fine, as with all boats in this category.
But the material, stated as 0.7 thickness, is really comparable to a rain jacket. It is extremely thin and fragile. OK, I had a Lodestar before, which also costs twice as much. But I didn't expect such cheap material here. Whether the repair kit will be sufficient for this summer remains to be seen. I'm sorry to have to say this here, but I would advise everyone not to be seduced by this price.

Our answer
Sehr geehrter Herr Jens J.,

vielen Dank für Ihre Produktbewertung. Bei dem von Ihnen bemängelte Material handelt es sich um ein 3-lagiges Gewebeverstärktes PVC Material (IF-950 PVC Coated) mit einer Reisfestigkeit von 1.100 DTEX. Aus diesem Material werden heute etwa 80-90% aller Schlauchboote in dieser Preislage hergestellt. Die Materialstärke beträgt 0,8mm bei einem Gewicht von 950gr/m². Gerade bei den kleineren Yacht-Dingys spielt auch das Gewicht eine große Rolle.
Denken Sie bitte mal 15-20Jahre zurück - da war Ihre Regenjacke - in Offshore-Qualität auch noch aus einer "LKW-Plane" hergestellt, wo gegen moderne Segelbekleidung heute vergleichsweise federleicht sind.
