The Bluewave Inflatable Kayak Cruiser is a two-person inflatable kayak built with drop-stitch technology. This construction method runs thousands of nylon stitches through the deck chamber. The result is a rigid deck that resists folding when it meets surf or choppy water, unlike cheaper inflatable kayaks on the market.
High volume tube sides add stability once the kayak hits the water. It inflates to a maximum of 10 PSI on the deck and 3 PSI on the sides, giving a firm and stable craft that still packs down small. Fully inflated, it measures 385cm x 85cm and weighs just 15kg.
The package includes everything needed to get on the water: two padded seats, two 4-piece paddles, a fin, foam footrests, a repair kit and a 2-way speed pump. It all packs into a wheeled carry bag that doubles as a backpack. Maximum load capacity sits at 288kg, enough for two paddlers plus gear on lakes, calm rivers or seaside trips.
The kayak is built for two people. It has a maximum load capacity of 288kg, which covers two adults plus gear such as dry bags, water bottles or camping equipment for longer trips.
Drop-stitch construction uses thousands of nylon threads stitched through the deck chamber, connecting the top and bottom layers. This keeps the deck rigid once inflated to the correct PSI. Without this, inflatable kayaks tend to fold or sag in the middle when they hit waves or choppy water.
The deck should be inflated to a maximum of 10 PSI and the side tubes to a maximum of 3 PSI. Getting this right matters for rigidity and safety. One buyer noted the supplied pump gauge doesn't mark 3 PSI clearly, so check the gauge carefully during inflation.
The package comes with the kayak, two padded seats, two 4-piece paddles, a fin, two foam footrests, a repair kit, a 2-way speed pump and a wheeled carry bag that also works as a backpack.
The kayak itself weighs 15kg. It packs into a wheeled bag, which helps when moving it from a car to the water. This is useful if you're launching somewhere without a nearby car park.
Yes. Bluewave markets the Cruiser as an entry-level tandem kayak for lakes, calm rivers and seaside paddling. The rigid drop-stitch deck and high volume side tubes give it more stability than basic inflatable kayaks, which helps newer paddlers feel more confident.
The Cruiser comes with a 12 month warranty. This excludes damage caused by extreme weather conditions or improper use, so check the care instructions before your first trip.
The kayak is available in four colours: yellow, dark green, blue and turquoise. This listing covers the turquoise version.
