“We purchased the 3 person canoe and were able to get it unboxed this past weekend. It was pretty easy to inflate, though a few simple instructions would have helped. Had some problems getting the seats in.... We hauled it to a small nearby lake where my son, daughter-in-law and I hopped in for our first adventure. We went about ywenty feet before we were all scrambling to get out before we tipped over! After adding the skegs, I let the two of them take off, and happily, that went much smoother. Then my husband and I traded places with them, and though much more stable, I think we will need more time before heading to the river. Other than that, we were pretty happy about the product. For our first time, it took about 30 minutes to set up, but I think we will be able to expedite that. It's light enough for my husband and I (both in our 70s) to haul back and forth to the river and put up on the roof rack. I have a feeling we'll be wearing life jackets rather than sitting on them if and when we get to the Delaware river.”

“Very fast delivery, easy to assemble and inflate. Had one very enjoyable paddle and didn’t fall in! Looking forward to many more”

“We were terrified initially when we got in the water but as soon as we removed seats and sat in the bottom, it was glorious. Had a beautiful day on the water in the Puget sound. Just ordered stadium seats instead and plan to use more in the future.”

“Solid build, easy to assemble/disassemble, packs away easy. It does take some getting used to as the balance isnt great compared to a solid canoe. Its better to kneel in it than sit on the seats. But once you get going its good, im happy with it.”

“We have the 3-person canoe and it’s already a great addition to our activity options. The build quality is excellent, with durable materials, strong seams, and a sturdy design that feels robust once inflated. It strikes a great balance between being easier to store/transport than a solid canoe and offering a solid, dependable feel on the water. It's comfortably spacious for 3 people (adults/kids). The canoe is stable and easy to paddle, even for those of us with limited paddling experience. The instructions are short on detail, but it’s simple enough to get it up and down again. The only extra detail I would recommend is in the order of inflation to make it easiest to attach the seats. Inflation: 1. Lay out the shell 2. Insert the floor (lining it up with the drain plug) 3. Inflate one side 4. Attach the seats 5. Inflate the second side 6. Inflate the floor Deflation in the reverse order. Needing this detail should only help make it as efficient as possible - it’s pretty quick to inflate ~15 mins. Some extra details and recommendations from my experience: 1. Find a space to practice inflating and deflating once before going out on the water the first time - this will save disappointed kids waiting around for the inevitable slow first time setup 2. Inflate/deflate next to the water if possible - we live only a few hundred yards from a river, but inflating first and carrying a 26kg canoe between 2 adults and a keen teenager gets heavy fast 3. Don’t underestimate how heavy it is packed away - the rucksack is brilliant and easily fits everything inside but it weighs 30kg total. If that sounds too heavy to carry on your back, I recommend a festival trolley or similar All of this considered, this is easily a 5-star canoe and my only regret is not getting one sooner.”

“We purchased the Venturer Inflatable Canoe as a second inflatable canoe for our growing family, having had such a positive experience with inflatable products. Overall, we’ve been very impressed with the quality and construction of the boat, especially considering its affordable price. The removable floor was a feature I was initially sceptical about, but it has proven excellent for thorough cleaning and drying. The seats are comfortable, although they are a little heavy, and repacking the canoe into the storage bag can be a tight squeeze. The canoe does feel quite wobbly at first, even for us as experienced paddlers, but once settled it handles well and has performed reliably on local flat-water rivers. My only real criticism is the limited height between the seat and floor, which made it difficult to sit in my preferred position with my legs tucked underneath. However, that's a personal preference rather than a flaw in the design. The included paddles were comfortable to use, and the canoe has held up well so far. We're looking forward to taking it to Scotland for some lake paddling adventures. Overall, it's a great-value inflatable canoe that offers quality, performance, and family fun at an excellent price.”

“The canoe is portable although still heavy. It's spacious and more sturdy than a paddle board. The flat bottom doesn't cut through the water that fast although it's helped because the Board floats on water. Altogether good family fun on water.”
