Looking for an Inflatable Kayak with a Motor?

Kayaking is typically a self-powered sport but there are lots of advantages to owning an inflatable kayak with a motor.

Advantages:

• Able to get to remote destinations quicker and easier.
• Good for anglers searching for the right spot to fish.
• Good for those who may get tired of paddling and need a break but still need to keep moving.
• Quick way to transport gear and people from a larger boat to shore.
• Handy if there is a problem and you need to get back fast.

Inflatable kayaks with motors are most often used for fishing. There are a couple of inflatable kayaks out there with the ability to attach a motor. We have listed them below.

Inflatable Kayaks with a Motor

Please click on the inflatable kayak name to read our full review.

Sevylor Coral Sea – The Coral Sea is a solo inflatable kayak that comes at a very affordable price. This kayak does not give a great performance, meaning that it is sluggish and it does not track well. However it does have the option for attaching a motor and can work decently for fishing.

The Sevylor Coral Sea is available at Amazon.com.

Sea Eagle Paddleski – The Paddleski is a far better option. It is a tandem inflatable kayak that is extremely rugged and very well made. It offers much more room, is easy to paddle and has the option to attach a small motor. The Paddleski costs a little more than the Sea Coral but there is no comparison in quality and performance. The Paddleski could blow the Sea Coral right out of the water.

The SE Paddleski is available at SeaEagle.com.

Other Options for Inflatable Boats with Motors

There are two other options that are similar to a kayak and have the ability to attach a motor. Please click on the boat name in order to read our full review.

Sea Eagle Foldcat – The Foldcat is roughly shaped like a kayak but with two inflatable pontoons. It comes in two different sizes and has quite a good option for motors. This inflatable boat is very solid and can hold one heck of a lot of gear. The smaller Foldcat is good for two people and the larger version can fit up to four people comfortably.

The SE Foldcat is available at SeaEagle.com.

Sea Eagle Frameless Pontoon Boat – The Frameless Pontoon Boat is another interesting idea as it provides the advantages of a pontoon boat without having to worry about lugging around the metal frame. It completely deflates and collapses into a nice neat package. It also has the option for a motor and makes an ideal solo fishing boat.

The SE Frameless Pontoon Boat is available at SeaEagle.com.

Inflatable kayaks are easily transported as well as stored away in small spaces.Whether for touring, fishing or simply for convenience, an inflatable kayak with a motor can be a fun boat to own.

Advantages to Inflatable Pontoon Boats

Kayaks are my love but there is no denying that there are some fantastic advantages to using an inflatable pontoon boat. Most popular as fishing boats these compact and convenient inflatable boats are popular for several of the reasons listed below.

Inflatable Pontoon Boat Advantages:

• They are excellent for whitewater and big surf and can handle most types of water.

• They can be used in bays, estuaries, whitewater, lakes, ocean and all rivers.

• They are versatile and extremely stable.

• They are great for fishing and it is possible to add on many different accessories for anglers.

• They are convenient and great to travel with.

• Expect excellent control.

• They make a very fun play boat.

• They can usually hold a large amount of weight.

• They are perfect for hauling gear to camp.

With most of the pontoon boats you have to attach a rigid frame. However if you do not want to have to worry about carrying and attaching a frame it is possible to get either a frameless inflatable pontoon boat or else one with an inflatable floor.

The advantage to getting a frameless pontoon boat or one with an inflatable floor is that it can pack up really small and be stored in small spaces as well as be much more convenient for traveling. Also it will usually weigh far less then a pontoon boat with a rigid frame.

There are lots of models to choose from so it should not be hard to find one that suits your needs. Please see our inflatable pontoon boat reviews for more detailed information.
