My wife and I use an Innova Sunny which we bought from Lee at
www.theboatpeople.com
Very easy to inflate and deflate. I made some mods to it to make it more
comfortable to sit in. You can see my mods at

Hi all,
I am looking for an inflatable kayak, and would like recommendations as
to size, material, brand, etc.
I am looking for a basic inflatable that I can use as a family
recreation type boat and:

1. Can carry 2 people
2. Will handle reasonably well in calm water or maybe a little bit of
chop. Bottom line: no whitewater action contemplated. Just maybe
some kayaking on the bay or lake / river.
3. Is better than a pool toy
4. Can be stored compactly

Frankly I'm looking to spend as little as I can, but not buy junk.
Granted, I don't want to spend much because my demands on this kayak
will be pretty low, but I don't want something that will leak and fall
apart in two uses, either.

If anyone has any recommendations, especially as to specific brands or
models, please let me know. Also if you have recommendation as to
where to buy, online or otherwise, that would help.

Thanks
