The Oceanbroad Inflatable sit-in kayak is a tandem kayak built for two adults who want a stable, comfortable ride on calm water. It measures 4.21m long and 0.9m wide when packed, but inflates to 4.18m x 0.9m with a weight capacity of 139.7kg. The drop-stitch floor gives it more rigidity than standard I-beam designs, so the base stays flat and firm under load.
Built from heavy duty PVC vinyl, the hull has a 3-chamber construction for added safety. If one chamber loses pressure, the others keep you afloat. Halkey-Roberts valves make inflation and deflation quick and they hold pressure well without leaking.
Comfort comes from padded EVA seats with back support and adjustable footrests. A removable directional fin improves tracking and the kit includes two 220cm paddles, a hand pump, repair kit and carry bag. Everything packs down for easy transport.
This kayak is designed for two people. It has a weight capacity of 139.7kg (308lbs) when inflated, which covers two adults plus some gear such as a small cooler or dry bag.
Using the included hand pump takes roughly 20 minutes. Owners who buy a separate electric pump report inflation times closer to 5 minutes. The Halkey-Roberts valves make either method straightforward.
The hull is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a heavy duty vinyl material chosen for its resistance to punctures and abrasion. The floor uses drop-stitch construction for extra rigidity.
No. This kayak is built for calm water such as lakes, ponds and slow-moving rivers. Performance drops in wind above 16kph (10mph) and the material may wear faster against sharp rocks in whitewater conditions.
The package includes the inflatable kayak, two 220cm paddles, two seats, two footrests, one directional fin, a repair kit with patches and a wrench and a hand pump. A carry bag is also included for storage and transport.
The kayak weighs 23.4kg (51.7lbs). When deflated and packed into the duffel bag, it is light enough for one adult to carry over their shoulder for reasonable distances, such as from a car park to a launch point.
With the directional fin fitted, tracking is good for a kayak in this category. Without the fin, the kayak becomes harder to keep straight and loses some speed. Removing the fin does help in shallow water though.
The floor is detachable, which makes rinsing out sand, mud or water straightforward. After cleaning, deflate the kayak fully, dry it off, then fold it back into the carry bag. Full deflation and packing typically takes around 20 minutes.
