Unless you have a large space to store a kayak or canoe, the best way of still enjoying the water is with an inflatable kayak. It saves storage space as you deflate and fold away your craft. Conversely, take it anywhere in your car or truck before inflating it with an air pump. There are many different types of inflatable kayaks, and the best one for you is determined by a few factors. What type of trip are you planning? Is it fishing, relaxing on the water or flying down rapids? We have done some exploring and put together a list of the best inflatable kayaks for you to consider.
