Expedition / Sea Inflatable Kayaks
If you are planning on doing a kayaking trip longer than a few days then you will want to use an expedition kayak. Expedition kayaks are typically longer and have a larger carrying capacity than day-touring kayaks.
The advantages of an inflatable expedition kayak are that you can easily store it in small spaces, they set up extremely fast and some of them are ideal for traveling.
Below are the solo and tandem inflatable kayaks that are best suited for multi-day expedition paddling as well as for sea kayaking.

It paddles very well on the ocean as long as you use the optional rudder. It offers a good amount of storage room and is quite comfortable for flat water paddling and sea kayaking. Simplistic in design, this is an excellent inflatable kayak for traveling and for expeditions. Read full review.
