Inflatable Kayaks

Carry your kayak on the plane!

Inflatable Kayaks are the answer to having your kayak with you no matter where you are traveling. Designed to be carried onto a plane..........these amazing kayaks also solves the problem for those traveling in campervans, rental vehicles without roof racks or even a bus. Nowhere to store a kayak at home? Your problem is solved! You can store your kayak under your bed!

Originally from Czech Republic where they had been building inflatable kayaks since the 1950’s, these kayaks are made of the same durable material as Zodiacs and whitewater rafts.

They come in all sizes for either single or double paddlers. Some are designed for sea kayaking, while those who are into white water kayaking will also find a range to choose from on the website.

Watch this video to see and hear about this compact,lightweight yet very durable, robust kayak.



Durable for Long Distance



Innova Kayaks are every bit as sturdy and tough as a solid kayak. One woman kayaked over 900 kilometres down the Niger River to Timbuktu. Another couple spent 5 months paddling around Micronesia. When they started their land travel they sent their kayak home in a box!

These kayaks are designed to be top performers in all weather and water conditions. Take a look and see for yourself.
