Intex Excursion Inflatable Boat Series: Includes Deluxe 54in Boat Oars and High-Output Pump – SuperTough PVC – Adjustable Seats with Backrest – Fishing Rod Holders – Welded Oar Locks

Many happy hours spent on Bala lake, gently drifting and listening to radio! You WILL need the trolling motor, though, otherwise the slightest breeze will just blow you across the lake and paddling is a pain in the a***e! Brilliant boat and very stable but personally I wouldn't trust it in the sea!! The company that supplied mine, "stack m high" were absolutely brilliant when I had a problem with mine... Replied within 12 hours , did all the work with Intex and within a week I had a brand new boat delivered! If your going to buy an Intex boat, buy it from " stack m high" ..Totally reliable, friendly, and helpful!As much fun as the excursion model was, I upgraded to the "Mariner 4"....Not quite as much room inside but a lot thicker, sturdier material and seams with an inflatable keel. I'd recommend the mariner over the excursion if your willing to spend the extra money! 👍👍👌👌👌

This is a brilliant Boat very sturdy and well made. Inflation of compartments is easy, Deflating the outer 2 compartments are very quick as 2 part valves . The floor is a bit of a pain as you have to hold the valve open to expel air, difficult for one person to do, easier if 2 people. Very stable in the water and plenty of room with 3 adults and 1 10 year old. I have made a plywood floor which makes the boat feel even more stable in the water. See YouTube videos. Also bought electric motor which adds so much to the enjoyment of using this Boat.

We 2 adults and an 6 & 8 year old. Total novices used this for the first time this weekend in a lake. Easy to ready easy to carry and easy to use very stable on water. Lots of people said how good it looked. A really good size and easy to get back into the backAfter deflation

Excellent boat in my first try. It was so much better than what I thought.It can be inflated in less than 30 min. with manual pump. NO need to go for electrical pump in my experience.This boat definitely NEED A MOTOR. In a small lake with a mild wind, it was a BIG challenge to get back shore with rowing. And we were only 3 people on boat.One point down as there is no good place for battery. It will take one good seat from back of boat.The holding bag could be also bigger as it is not easy to fit deflated boat into original space.Update May 2016:After 3 years this boat still goes strong. Healthy and strong after hitting many stones in lakes ... i equipped the boat with a rhino 18 lbs trolling motor which is 2,5kg but powerful enough to move this boat arround in calm lakes. If you are hitting sea or rivers with big waves you may need something stronger.One of rows broke in plastic joints but it was very easy to replace it with a bigger and ligher one.Overall i am enjoying owing this boat a lot. This boat has added plenty of fun to my sunny weekends :)

Excellent boat, amazing value for money, perfect for 2 adults and 2/3 children. Pumps up in 10 mins and deflates in about the same time. My only advice for someone new to boating and buying this as a starter boat would be don't forget life jackets no matter what type of water your heading out on as if you're moving about from one side of the boat to another it does bounce a bit and also for most UK waterways you do need an unpowered vessel licence which is only £35 from the environment agency. I was dubious given the price whether this would be robust enough but it has far exceeded my expectations and blows the competition out of the water. Why pay £300-£400 for an inflatable kayak that only fits 3 in when you can get a family and bags in this and it'll fold into the boot when you're done. If you're thinking about it, buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Simply one of the all-time best buys. Strong, super comfortable and loads of space. versatile in function and with the double wall rim felt very safe on both a river and lake.Folds up easily and was a lot faster to pump up then i thought... that said... i will be getting a little electric fan.... but the pump is good!This was also used as an outdoor kids paddling pool all summer and served the job perfectly!!This is a super price for grown up boat that makes you feel like a kid again!! Boom

Big is not always better! Nightmare to row and the supplied oars are too short and have this weird lock system that makes them almost useless.Had 3 punctures within a week to be fair intex sent out a brand new replacement. That's still in the box so if anyone wants it make me an offer!!

Very good boat. Much bigger than the picture I had in my mind. Well worth the money. Look at reviews on YouTube because you get A LOT of boat for the money. It wil fit 5 adults happily. It weighs 22kg and is 4m long so manoeuvring it outdoors in a breeze would be interesting if doing it alone. We have taken it out on the sea in calm conditions and it performed well. Easy enough to row with me and 2 children in it.
