Are you looking for a good but affordable inflatable boat for 2 to 3 people - without a motor?
Our test and guide for dinghies without engine at Honest Tests.
What do you have to consider if you want to buy a dinghy for 2 to 3 persons?
Inflatables are available in different sizes, with 2 to 3 persons the length should be at least approx. 3,00m and the width at least approx. 1,40m.
2 people have a lot of space in the dinghy, but you can also be well in threes. Inflatables should at least always consist of 3 air chambers for safety reasons. The aubpumpen should be possible with an associated pump quickly and easily.
Just like quickly releasing the air using good exhaust valves. Separate seat cushions should be included and of course the paddles. A paddle holder on the inflatable boat itself is comfortable during transport and on the water when it is not needed. A safety line on the outside of the dinghy is also very useful to fasten things that would otherwise take up space in the dinghy or to be able to hold onto them in the water. The material of the inflatable boat should not be too thin. A conspicuous color means more safety on the water, as you can see such a boat better. When the fun in the water is over, it should be easy to stow an inflatable boat back in the box.
A small guide about inflatable boats can be found in our other post at Honest Tests.
We at Honest Tests have one
Inflatable boat for 2 to 3 people - tested without motor.
For our dinghy for 2 to 3 people - without an engine test we did it Intex Boot Challenger 3 Set viewed. Many criteria are met here. It comes in a box that is not too big and should also fit in any car. The boat itself is quickly unfolded and with the associated double-stroke air pump, three air chambers are inflated in 10 minutes. The two outdoor chambers have Boston valves, that is, quick deflation and inflation and the bottom part has a normal inflate valve.
The workmanship looks high quality and the rubber has a good thickness. The paddles are quickly screwed together as a 2 single paddle or a long two-sided paddle. The good cheap Inflatable by Intex also has a preparation to attach a motor, if you want to retrofit. Because a dinghy with an engine will gladly save you rowing. The paddles float on the surface and do not sink in the water. But there are 2 rubber circlips so that the paddles do not slip out of the brackets into the water.
If you want to buy a dinghy, you should always read exactly the manufacturer's instructions that there will be no bad surprise later.
