Best Inflatable Rafts of 2025

"I bought this raft for a 5-hour float down the river and it worked perfectly! It held up the entire time without even a little deflation. While it’s labeled as a 3-person raft, I found it to be just right for two adults, especially with some bags onboard."

"We tried using this raft on the lake, and while we had fun, we encountered some issues. The oars that came with it were sturdy, but I ended up breaking another set shortly after we started. Even though it was tough for my partner, we still enjoyed our time out there."

"I initially purchased this raft for fishing with my boyfriend. It felt strong and durable, but my excitement turned to disappointment when the first oar handle broke right in my hand while we were out on the lake. We had to rely on the other oar, which also broke during our return."

"I decided to buy the Intex Challenger 2 for fishing and enjoying time on lakes. This 2-person inflatable boat is incredibly portable; I can easily fit it in my car's trunk when deflated. The price was also great at only $29.99 with free shipping for Prime members. I found it very convenient as a beginner in outdoor activities, and I highly recommend it to anyone on a budget like me."

"I really enjoy this little boat that came with all the accessories. I rated it a 4 mainly because it lost air while we were using it. However, the overall experience has been fun for me."

"I had a fantastic time using the Intex Challenger 2. It was easy to inflate—just about 10 minutes with a battery pump. Although it's rated for 2 adults, we managed to fit 2 adults and a child comfortably. The boat is well-built and comes with repair patches, which I found useful when I accidentally punctured it. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend it for leisure outings."

"I can't access my kayaks from the dock when the water level is low, but this floating dock changed that. It's very rigid for standing on, and I found it easy to inflate and deflate for storage."

"I bought this inflatable dock for my dogs, and it's been fantastic. It's sturdy and provides plenty of space for them to lounge and play. Setup and storage are a breeze!"

"I received my AWSUM 6x8 Water Dock in perfect shape. The fabric is heavier than expected, and all seams are well sealed. It inflates easily and holds pressure without any issues. My wife loves it!"

"I bought this for our cooler while tubing, and it works great! We can also use it for trash, so nothing falls into the river. The quality is fantastic and the size is just right!"

"I got this boat for my grandkids, and they absolutely love it! It's sturdy enough for hours of fun, and I can fit two adults or one adult with kids in it easily. It's definitely worth the money!"

"I was thrilled to get this on sale! It’s perfect for my size and the kids had a blast floating on the lake. It’s super cute and I can’t wait until they're older for more adventures!"

"I absolutely love this boat! I mainly use it for fishing with a buddy and we’re definitely slaying the trout now. It's equipped with a trolling motor, motor mount, and two 8lb anchors for stabilization."

"I'm giving this product five out of five stars! It has two seats, is lightweight, and incredibly strong. The price is unbelievable, especially when similar products start at $700. It's around 800 pounds, maybe more, and I highly recommend it. It doesn’t take up much space to store either. Thanks for the great product and price! I’ve used it in San Diego Bay and Pacific Beach."

“I bought this for my husband, and he had no negative feedback about it. It's sturdy and big enough for two people to fit in.”

“I love this boat! The color and size are fantastic. It's definitely roomy enough for another person. However, I would have given it five stars if the oars were longer and if some air chambers didn't need inflating after use.”

“As a first-time user of an inflatable, I found it fun to float around in, but it's not my top choice for water transportation. I noticed I couldn't stand up, and it doesn't handle the water as well as a kayak or canoe. Still, the product is well constructed.”

"I think this thing is great! Although you will get wet using it, it's super lightweight and small—like the size of a purse. I put my son in it while we rafted the Merced. It does not track well and will spin in circles, but it works. After blowing it up, it does deflate a bit once in the water, so I advise stopping after 5-10 minutes to add more air. Overall, it’s tough and blows away any pool toy."

"After purchasing this raft, I couldn't wait to test it. The local lakes were perfect for a chill day. I just enjoyed relaxing on the water while listening to audiobooks. It's one of the most peaceful ways to unwind. This little dinghy is incredibly light and packs down smaller than my sleeping bag—perfect for alpine lakes. I'm definitely going to use it a lot in the coming seasons!"

"I wanted a pack raft but didn’t want to spend a fortune. This value-priced boat is well built and easy to inflate. It packs so small that I hardly notice it’s there. I've used it many times, and while you do get a bit wet, that’s okay—it's fun being out on the water. I do recommend wearing a life jacket for safety, but overall, it’s a fantastic starter boat while I save for a larger one."

"I take this out on the lake just to relax; it's awesome."

"I absolutely love this product! It's super heavy duty and I can walk on it without worrying about bending. Best birthday gift from my husband and kids. Being allergic to jellyfish, it’s perfect since only water gets in!"

"I brought this along for a week at the lake, and it was definitely the crowd favorite! Comfortably fits three people, and it's much more refreshing than a lounge chair. It was easy to inflate and even comes with a storage bag!"

"So far, I'm really impressed! Initially, I struggled with connecting the pump, but once we got it right, it worked perfectly. We had four adults on it, and it was a blast. I highly recommend the water hammock!"

"I found this boat to be very sturdy and my grandchildren had a blast using it all week at the lake. It's a great price for such a quality boat!"

"I bought this for my grandkids to play on while we were out in the lake. I tied it up to our boat, and they had a wonderful time!"

"On my first outing with my 5-year-old, we had a lot of fun, though I think it might feel a bit tight for two adults. I found using one kayak paddle easier than two separate ones. Just remember to have a pump handy for inflation!"
