The Intex Explorer is a great option for someone who does not need a hard shell, but still needs the benefit of a fishing canoe. This is a tandem fishing canoe/kayak that offers great control, speed, and balance and even includes a removable skeg.
The Intex includes an adjustable seat with the added benefit of a backrest. The canoe is perfect for fishing because it has ample space for fishing storage.
The Explorer K2 is perfect for calmer bodies of water including lakes and mild rivers as it features a tough vinyl construction to protect against scratches and punctures. The canoe is even great for the ocean if the surf is reasonable.
The canoe also comes with two aluminum paddles/oars and a high powered air pump.
The reason this is such a great choice is because you get all the benefits of a hard shell canoe (except for extreme durability), while not having to break the bank. Also, because the canoe is inflatable, it can be easily deflated and transported.
