Recreational boaters know that nothing rivals the adventure and thrill offered by the water, whether they are on their pontoons, kayaks or canoes. The element of excitement coupled with a little bit of fear always goes with every sailing, fishing, kayaking or canoeing expedition. Only these activities can allow you to experience the on-rush of blowing wind on your face, of feeling the intense power of the ocean and respecting it and of knowing the dangers that lurk as you navigate your way around the treacherous rapids.

But while traditional hard shells are usually used for these purposes, doing them on inflatable boats spell more fun on the water.

Even the most neophyte boaters can successfully navigate rubber ducks. The low center of gravity of inflatable boats makes them hard to tip over, adding to the fun and confidence that novice boaters feel as they navigate their rigs. There are inflatable kayaks and rafts that are even custom-made for children and teens.

In addition to stability, most inflatables manufactured today use durable PVC material that remain resistant to punctures or tears brought about by sharp rocks or jagged edges which one commonly encounters while navigating the rapids. Inflatables simply bounce off where traditional wooden boats would splinter or break. In case your blow up does get punctured, you can still patch the tear.

Your pleasure in the water is further enhanced when you know that you are on a stable and durable raft.

Inflatables are fun because they are extremely affordable. You can get one for an average of $500 and a high quality rig with all the works for a couple of thousand. Unlike hard shell boats that can cost up to tens of thousands of dollars, inflatables offer avid voting fans a more affordable alternative to own their boats, doubling the pleasure that can be derived from each expedition.

Sharing boats with friends may have its own perks but owning your own inflatable gives you the chance to experience your personal water adventures anytime.

Trekking is made more enjoyable with inflatable kayaks since kayaking can be included into your nature walks. Fold your kayak and pack it in your backpack and only inflate it in the body of water you like to paddle on. And these inflatables can be brought with you not just on your hiking trips.

You don't have to worry about paying more for baggage if you want to bring your kayak to the best waters around the globe since these can simply be stuffed with the rest of your luggage. Indeed, inflatable boats make your water adventures more fun, whether you're in the rapids of South America or sailing the Pacific Ocean.

Finally, inflatable boats come in many colors and designs. Part of the pleasure offered by inflatable boats lies in shopping for the style and hue that best fits your personality. Unlike hard shell boats that have the tendency to be monochromatic, inflatable boats come in reds, oranges, blues, yellows and combinations of these. If colors affect your mood, then the bright shades that inflatable boats come in will certainly set the mood for a great time on water.
