5.0 out of 5 stars Inflatable boat item
Very nice-I haven't used it as much as I would like to but hope to use it more soon.
4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Thrills? I'll say!
Drawbacks? Sure. As many reviewers have pointed out this is no cigar boat. Or kayak, as far as that goes. It won't get you anywhere fast. Everything, and I mean everything, will scoot right by you. And even before you hit the drink you're going to be spending upwards of fifteen minuets or so just inflating this. And that goes for deflating this crazy little Looney Tunes raft when you're done, too. Does that also mean that you’ll also notice its neon orange sides tend to sag a bit over the course of, say, a hour of two afloat? Yup, it does indeed. In other words, forget about setting sail for the, say, the Vineyard in this. More of a lazy ol’ river kind of raft, in that respect. And, yes, it is made of nothing but vinyl. And glue. So, yeah, one good poke and . . .But, c'mon. For the money, this is a much better value than it's often given credit for. Seriously. You might even say with just the slightest attitude adjustment every one of these drawbacks turns into good thing. Opportunities, even. That business of having to laboriously inflate the whole bulging bag of air, for instance. (Yeah, that's all it is. Just a big ol' bag of air. But so is it's nearest relation: that big black inner tube so crucial to coursing through the fizzing froth of any wild, wild river you like.) If you didn't have to blow it up, you wouldn't be able to hump it down to you're favorite body of water. Ugh-ugh. You'd need a car, people. With a rack, for godsake. Or a truck. Because, like it or not, even a small kayak weighs a ton. You did know that, didn’t you? And that fifteen minuets you're going to spend pumping? Ever heard of being in the moment? That’s a really good thing, believe me.Same goes for the speed. Or rather lack of it, as far as, you know . . . getting anywhere in this baby goes. As I said to a kid in a motor boat one day (offered to get me something that'd go a "a lot faster.") It's the journey, not the destination, buddy. And if there's anything messing around in the Explorer 200 shows you, it's that. Say hello to that turtle getting a little sun over there. Sit back and watch that Great Blue Heron flap by just overhead. The one paying you so little mind you'd swear it'd mistaken your bizarre little bubble of air for nothing but the world’s most morbidly obese muskrat. Revel in the sensation of really being in the flow for once. But if you really must put a move on--and you got those oars--by all means, row away. Like many reviewers, I too was very skeptical about them. But, surprise, surprise! The darned things actually work. So I wouldn't assume that you've gotta order a kayak paddle to get anywhere in one of these things. Yeah, yeah, I know at least one reviewer swears that's what did the trick for him. Me, not so much. Kayaks are much narrower, after all. So, in my experience, getting a proper stroke with one of those was next impossible. And that's without even mentioning all the water that every one of those--painfully awkward strokes--shed. And I mean on me, rather than where it should have been going. Back into the river it’d come form. But those foolish little plastic oars? Do exactly what they're designed to do. And I mean with surprising efficiency at that. Little bit of a learning curve, if you haven't had much experience with rowboats. But with practice you'll soon get the hang of it.Quick tip. After having tried this from either end, I found it's probably best to stick to conventional rowboat protocol and row with you're back to the bow. Yeah, facing AWAY from the direction in which you’re traveling. Much better power that way. Save the stern first stuff for navigating around rocks. And bridge piers. Or that big ol' bass boat. You know the one. The one with just about nothing on it but a couple of barstools and an engine the size of a small SUV.Finally, as far as it’s being vinyl goes. Again, stronger stuff than it’s often been given credit for here. Yes, over the course of the summer I did have one puncture, for which, I might add, that patch so easily mistaken for nothing but a small extraneous piece of paper and hence completely overlooked is of no value whatsoever. But that’s it. Just one. And that was easily handled by a proper “inflatable patch,” as they’re known in the trade, apparently. Just slap one on and you’ll be good to go. Does that mean the ship is going down if you run into anything? Nope. To go through this stuff it’s gotta be good and sharp and it’s gotta strike head-on. Not at an angle. Ran aground in some rocky shallows today and just reached down and pushed it through. Rubbing, you see. Not really a problem with this. Not something I’d want to make a habit of, mind you. Going over a bunch of goopy wet rocks like that. But just goes to show: in that regard at least, it’s actually pretty tough.So all and all, super fun for next to nothing. Could anyone ask for more?

This has been a fantastic addition to my boat the kids love it. It’s a lot of fun and the value is great.
3.0 out of 5 stars It's "okay" once it's on the water, but ours came out of the box with a puncture...
We purchased an Explorer 300 last summer for a camping trip, and unfortunately ours arrived punctured and we didn't realize it until we were at the lake shore trying to inflate it and not getting anywhere. Fortunately we had a patch to apply to test the boat, and it did work ok, so questionable manufacturer quality assurance issues aside, the bulk of my review is based on our experience with the boat on the water.The included pump is pretty anemic; you'll want to invest in a rechargeable electric pump like those from Etekcity, also available on Bolo for around $30. Once you get it inflated, it is pretty sturdy and durable. As with any inflatable, I wouldn't risk putting it up against sharp rocks or aquatic obstacles, but for tooling around on the open water it's fine. It is tight for two grown adults; don't expect you'll both be able to stretch out your legs and have ample room, because you won't. You'll likely need to keep your legs bent most of the time, which starts feeling confined after a while.The oar locks are janky. I tried using them and they were just annoying to use, so you're better off just using the oars like a canoe rather than a rowboat or dinghy. There is no rope around the raft itself, so your options for carrying it while inflated are limited - either hoist it over your head and do your best to keep it balanced (good luck), or ask somebody to help you carry it. The absence of this line also makes it hard to get in and out of the boat. The sides are also a bit big which makes getting in/out in the water a bit of a challenge, but it is doable - conversely, this boat is VERY stable on the water because of that same feature, so that's big plus.The oars themselves are nothing special, but they do the minimum of getting you moving. They felt too short for me, and at times I used driftwood to paddle instead of the oars, and at times it seemed like the driftwood did a better job.Overall, the boat is OK. I think getting a brand new boat out of the box with a puncture (probably from the oars getting jammed into the box by somebody packing it) really left a bad taste in my mouth, and the janky oar locks made paddling around a pain. So for these reasons we returned the Explorer 300 for a refund -- unfortunately there are no free returns or exchanges, so we went out of pocket on the return shipping, which stinks when you get a defective raft out of the box.So this might work for you, it is stable and good for a couple kids, or one adult and one kid, but tight for two average sized-adults.
78" Explorer 200 Boat SUPER Set
I paid just £9.99 + free delivery for this little set. I was really, really pleased when it arrived.It came in a small box and was perfect for the hols.The boat was quite good quality for an inflatable and I was impressed how big it was when inflated.The oars were really good and came in small 30cm sections which makes them really easy to transport. They can be assembled as a kayak oar too which is a great little feature.The pump was also good quality. It's a 'double quick' hand pump.The kids really enjoyed using this set and will do so again next year.All in all: A very good buy, worth every penny!
Poor quality
Had it for 2.5 weeks and a hole had already tore in the bottom.
