Intex Challenger Inflatable Boat Set with Oars + Inflator

This IS actually a two person boat. Though it might not be greatly comfortable there is definitely enough room for two people. I have another two person boat that is significantly smaller than this one. But for one person there is an enormous amount of room inside the boat to sit or lie down, as well as plenty of space for a large bag or two. It seems to be a semi-toughened boat, being slightly thicker and tougher than a basic inflatable boat, but not quite as heavy and rigid as a toughened boat, which makes it a bit easier to pack away. It packs down with the oars and pump to about 35 litres if packed efficiently, however it's a very tight fit and I use a 45 litre backpack to carry it for a mile or two to the water, which allows for looser packing and extra items. I was glad of this because after using it in the water and then quickly packing it away in the mud it only just fit into the bag. Since it is a bit wider and much longer than my other boat I thought there would be a lot more drag and the boat would be slower but I really didn't notice any significant difference. I was already impressed by the boat before I used it, but after seeing how well it performs in the water I was even more impressed. There seems to be a gutter designed to collect any water that gets into the boat, so it doesn't end up right under where you're sitting! There are plenty of available loops all around the boat to tie things to for towing, mooring, stringing up a cover, a sail or any other modifications you want to make. The pump that comes with it works great, and the oars also are good except for the annoying lump in the middle. But of course you can just replace them, however it's not too bad so I'll probably keep using them. Overall it's a fantastic luxury boat for one person and their luggage that can easily carry a passenger, has a decent cruising speed (2mph or a bit less) and it's not extremely large and heavy so can quite easily be carried around in a bag.

We bought this dinghy for our son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren (aged 6&4) who regularly take camping holidays in Europe just as we did when our sons were young and when we enjoyed a similar sized dinghy for many years. The boat was used for the first time on their recent trip to France and drew admiring looks and comments from fellow campers, notably "now that's what I call a dinghy". Most people had opted for tiny inflatables big enough for one child and useful for little more than messing about in the shallows but we chose this one for the long term. The boat took the 2 adults and 2 kids comfortably and was perfectly stable for exploring the whole inland lake. As the children grow, it will still take one adult in addition to them but at this stage, dad seemed to get the most fun from it, re-living memories!! We felt that the 3 piece kit was great value - the oars were perfectly good enough at this stage (they can always upgrade later if they want) and the foot pump was quick to use. Other potential buyers should beware of the Amazon footnotes that "people who bought this item also bought an electric pump" as the instructions warn against using them, so save your money to put towards life jackets instead!!! It would be a large and heavy item to take on holiday other than self-drive trips and it's heavy for younger kids to carry but that's the downside to a boat for the whole family or for older kids and to get this level of stability. Provided the boat proves to be as durable as it appears, it should last many years and at this stage we are delighted with it and would thoroughly recommend.

Great value for a decent quality dinghy capable of carrying two adults but better suited for adult and child. The design makes it easily manoeuvrable and can be rowed swiftly without much effort. The bundled oars and pump make this an excellent choice.

Bought the boat in June and used it multiple times this summer. We've used it in Weymouth Bay, Portland Harbour and Chesil Beach with no problems. Had a lot of fun every single time. Boat is sturdy, easy to inflate, easy to carry and very safe. Oars are way too short though, which makes paddling harder than it's necessary. Taking under consideration the price - I couldn't be happier with this purchase though. Bought it as a birthday present with no knowledge about inflatable boats and hours spend on researching... and not disappointed. Highly recommended.

I bought this for the kids to play aroun it while on holiday. It handled both sea, harbour and river easily. It is a sturdy boat for the price. It flexes over the waves and doesn't remain rigid, but you wouldn't expect it to. It handled 4 young teenagers and their exuberance with ease. The base inside the boat is more substantial than I have seen before and it has proved to be bombproof in spite of the youthful zeal of my children and their friends. The oars are a different matter, dont get me wrong, they are solid enough. This boat is about 9 foot long, the oars scarcely meet the water and are a good 3 foot too short. They are fine as paddles, but next to useless as oars. In spite of the boat having 2 sets of rowlocks, there is only 1 set of "oars" which is insufficient to move the boat against the current in a river. It really needs 7 foot or 2m oars.

This boat is great. Used at the beach. Easy to inflate and deflate. Comfortable and good quality. The weight is wht makes the boat sturdy when canoeing.

I purchased Intex Callenger boat two years ago therefore I can give an honest and valuable review. It is BRILLIANT! This is a very durable, spacious boat. It fits in a large IKEA bag and it has several separate air compartments what makes it a very safe boat - if one happens to deflate you still will be able to safely reach the shore. This boat is perfect for two adults and a big picnic bag, I think it should be able to accomodate three, but it would be quite snug. There are two removable seats that are also fun to hold on while swimming and two oars. This boat is very easy to inflate (pump was included) and to carry once inflates as it has a durable rope around it. We had many wonderful summer days sunbathing on the lake in this boat. It is one of the best purchases on Amazon.

I bought one of these about two years ago and have used it quite a lot including giving it some mild abuse such as dragging it over rocks with people in. It's been perfect and has given my family lots of fun. It feels safe and secure. I think it's the best £50 I have spent in a long time. The pump is very fast and puts air into the boat during both the push and pull strokes, and the oars are a reasonable quality. The valves have a cleaver double opening which allows the air to come out very quickly when it's time to pack the boat up. It's a bit cramped with my wife and two children (aged 9 and 10) in the boat, but we wouldn't want anything bigger. I have no hesitation in giving this boat five stars.

Elektrikli motor takmak oldukça zor olacak, taşıyıcı bir ayna tasarlamak zorundalar, benim 15 sene zodiac bot tecrübem var, iç tabana köpük bir taban tablası koyacağım, aksi halde, insanların popoları denizin içine deve hörgücü gibi çıkıyor, bu da gidişi zorluyor😂, 2009 da challenger 2 eski version da denedim ve görmüştüm. Sonra zodiac aldım, 15 sene kullandım. Bu botu belki yemli balık tutarım diye aldım. Challenger bot ile kıyıdan max 100 mt uzaklaşılmalı, geçmişte Ege de hafif rüzgar çıktı karadan denize doğru, uzaklaşmaya başlayınca korktuk, kürekle zor kıyıya ulaştık, rüzgar hiç yoktu 17-18 saatlerinde karadan denize doğru başladı, bu bir tehlike, ayrıca botun üstünde insan gövdesi de itici güç oluşturup açığa sürüklüyor, eğilerek ve kürek çekerek kıyıya zor geldik. Uzun yazı oldu ama bilgiler hayati.

ممتاز جدا بآرك الله فيكم

Good for 3 person with some pages

Puede con 2 personas sin problema (150kg en este caso) los remos son resistentes. La barca se infla fácil, desinflar y guardarla ya es otra cosa
