Without the frame, you will be left with two inflatable pontoons. A cataraft is rowed like a raft. These versatile boats can be used in whitewater as well as for fishing and touring around flat water. These boats are part raft, part kayak. They provide the buoyancy of a raft, and the maneuverability of a kayak.
Inflatable kayaks offer stability and comfort to neophyte kayakers.
Some inflatables come with thigh straps for paddlers who desire to roll. Another benefit to inflatable kayaks is their portability.
