Sevylor Super Caravelle 6-Person Inflatable Boat

Comments about Sevylor Super Caravelle 6-Person Inflatable Boat:

Glad that I got the 6-person boat. Not sure how you could put 6 person in there unless they are small kids. Had great time trolling in it with my kid around area lakes. Put a small cooler and a few accessories in the center, and both of us can stretch out our legs. Just great for 2. 3 would not be comfortable.
Some of the air intake valves are small, why don't they make all of them big so you can get the air in easier and faster.

Got the Super Caravelle as a gift. Since acquiring it, I've gotten the floorboard kit (which was okay) but supplemented it with a sheet of plywood (more for stability than strength). Now I can stand up and walk around fairly comfortably. I also got the trolling motor mount. There is an electric motor made for these inflatables, which is rated at 18 pounds of thrust. It also has a proprietary battery. Instead I attached a (short shaft) 30 lb thrust motor. The battery is much heavier than the Sevylor battery, but there are trade-offs. However, the increase in speed, power, and run-time are incomparable.

The way it's set up now is my ideal calm water cruising/fishing boat. With me and my buddy and all our gear, we total around 500 lbs, way short of the craft's limit.

We have taken it out approximately 8 times and never had a problem. It rides like a dream.

Orderd this boat from Meier and could not be more happy with the service.It works just fine, no bad surprises. Tried it out today [2 daughters and I], and think it is big and stabel enough to be good fun for my family. Do not go smaller if you want more than a 2 person craft.

So far I only used the boat once so I don't know how durable it is. But it is very well constructed with thick material. Inflating all the air chambers took me about 30 minutes. I used the boat in a local lake and I had a good time with my three daughters (ages 3,6,8). My wife didn't join us in the boat so she could call for help in case something happen to us. We spent about 2 hours in the lake. I'm buying a trolling motor and will use the boat more often. The boat will fit two adults and three kids with no problem. But It will not be big enough for 6 adults unless you stack your legs on top of each other.

[...]Item arrived in working order without any issues. Used the boat for the first time three days after it arrived, and I am very happy with it.It says 6 people, but quiet honestly, I'd never go on there with more than 2 adults, and maybe one kid. There is NO WAY that there is room for six people on this boat. Just not enough space for paddles, maybe life-vests, maybe a towel, etc.Definitely 2 adults and 1 kid MAX to be comfortable.Please note - boat does not come with paddles, but these can be bought cheap for less than [$] a set on [@].All in all - great deal for the money.

I picked up this boat when Meijer had it on sale. A week later, my friend and I got out on the lake with it to go fishing. With the recommended pump for inflation, we went from box to water in about fifteen minutes or so.

On the water, I was a little surprised by how this boat reacted to the wakes of boats with motors. Unlike a hard boat, the Super Caravelle just sort of conformed to the waves and there was none of that annoying bow-slap I'm used to from aluminum boats.

We paddled out a couple hundred yards from the launch area and tied up under a bridge, where we proceeded to catch fish for about three hours, then we paddled back, deflated the boat and put it back in the storage tote I keep it in.

All in all, if you're looking for an inexpensive way to get around on the water and you don't want a kayak or canoe, check out an inflatable, they might be what you're looking for. I'm very happy with this purchase and wouldn't be hesitant to buy Sevylor products again.
