Highlights

A full metre wide, for two people who move about

Two people in a narrow tandem is how boats get tipped. A metre of beam absorbs the shifting and the leaning, and turns a nervous paddle into a pleasant one.

100 cm beam

Unusually wide for a tandem, and width is stability. It takes two people leaning, turning and reaching without complaint.

Rated to 220 kg

Two adults plus a cool box and gear, rather than two adults and nothing else.

Two fins, two sizes

A larger and a smaller removable fin so you can set the tracking for the water you are on - deep and open, or shallow and tight.

Complete in the box

Two 230 cm paddles, Air Hammer pump, two seats with cushioned backrests, two fins, carry bag and repair patch.

Product description

About this product

Inflatable Kayak Set – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

The awkward moment in a tandem kayak is when the person in front turns round to say something. In a narrow boat that is enough to make everyone nervous. This one is a full metre across, which is wide even by inflatable standards, and the result is a boat two people can move about in without thinking about it.

It is 321 cm long and rated to 220 kg, so two adults plus a cool box and dry bags is a realistic load rather than an optimistic one. The cockpit holds two inflatable seats with cushioned backrests, and the form-fitted construction keeps water from slopping into the cockpit in chop, so you and your gear stay dry.

Two removable fins come with it, in different sizes. That is more useful than it sounds: the bigger fin gives strong tracking in open water and a breeze, the smaller one lets you turn tightly and works in shallower water. The hull is Bestway’s Inflata-Shield fabric – puncture resistant, limited stretch, and grippy enough to sit on wet – over three separate air chambers.

A grab rope runs round the hull with built-in grommets, which matters for two reasons: it gives you something to hold getting back in from the water, and it gives you something to tie to at a jetty. It suits Msasani Bay, Kigamboni, Bagamoyo, Zanzibar, Mafia and the lakes.

Buying a Inflatable Kayak Set in Dar es Salaam

361 Degrees Adventure keeps the inflatable kayak set at our showroom in Upanga, Dar es Salaam, with delivery countrywide across Tanzania. Come and handle it before you buy, or order online and collect.

Every inflatable kayak set is checked in store before it leaves us, and our staff use the same kit in the field, so you get an honest answer on fit and sizing rather than a sales pitch.

Not sure which inflatable kayak set suits you? Call or message the showroom and we will talk you through the options that are actually in stock in Tanzania.

Spare parts and replacements for the inflatable kayak set are easier to get here than on an overseas order, which matters once the gear is in use.

Questions

Good to know

Why does the width matter?

Because two people in a narrow tandem is how kayaks get tipped - one person turning round is enough. At a full metre across this boat absorbs that without drama, which is why it suits families and first-timers.

Why two different fins?

The larger fin gives strong tracking in open water and wind; the smaller one turns more easily and works in shallower water. Fit the one that suits where you are paddling.

Can one person paddle it?

Yes - move a seat towards the middle so the boat sits level. It will be slower than a single but perfectly manageable.

Will two adults and a cool box fit?

Within the 220 kg rating, yes. Keep the load low and centred rather than stacked at one end, which is what makes an inflatable feel unstable.

How long does it take to inflate?

About ten minutes with the hand pump. Firm, not rock hard - and let air out if the boat will stand in full sun.

Is it safe on the sea here?

In sheltered bays and lagoons in calm conditions, with buoyancy aids. These are recreational boats, not sea kayaks. Stay inside the reef, avoid surf, and treat offshore wind as the main hazard - it pushes a light inflatable out faster than you can paddle back.

How do I look after it in salt water?

Rinse the whole boat with fresh water after every sea trip, including the valves and the underside, and let it dry completely before rolling it up. Salt left to dry in the seams is what ages an inflatable fastest on this coast.

Can I leave it inflated in the sun?

Not for long. Equatorial sun both degrades the material over time and raises the internal pressure, which stresses the seams. Let some air out if it is sitting in full sun, and store it deflated, dry and out of direct light.
