Intex Challenger Inflatable Boat Set with Oars + Inflator

We bought this dinghy for our son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren (aged 6&4) who regularly take camping holidays in Europe just as we did when our sons were young and when we enjoyed a similar sized dinghy for many years. The boat was used for the first time on their recent trip to France and drew admiring looks and comments from fellow campers, notably "now that's what I call a dinghy". Most people had opted for tiny inflatables big enough for one child and useful for little more than messing about in the shallows but we chose this one for the long term. The boat took the 2 adults and 2 kids comfortably and was perfectly stable for exploring the whole inland lake. As the children grow, it will still take one adult in addition to them but at this stage, dad seemed to get the most fun from it, re-living memories!! We felt that the 3 piece kit was great value - the oars were perfectly good enough at this stage (they can always upgrade later if they want) and the foot pump was quick to use. Other potential buyers should beware of the Amazon footnotes that "people who bought this item also bought an electric pump" as the instructions warn against using them, so save your money to put towards life jackets instead!!! It would be a large and heavy item to take on holiday other than self-drive trips and it's heavy for younger kids to carry but that's the downside to a boat for the whole family or for older kids and to get this level of stability. Provided the boat proves to be as durable as it appears, it should last many years and at this stage we are delighted with it and would thoroughly recommend.

Was looking at this for a while so when it came down in price a bit, I decided to take the plunge (metaphorically speaking). Off I went with my son like proper townies down to a nearby reservoir and set sail. We were still afloat after the first minute which I vocally considered a success. There is a technique to rowing which, after an hour on the water, I had yet to master. I spent more time going round in circles while trying to convince my son that's what's supposed to happen. Pleased with the sturdiness and robustness of it and impressed with what you get for your money. Nice little touches mean the oars won't drift away if you let go and they also clip on to the side of the boat. Doesn't take long to pump up using the supplied pump (5mins after the first practice). Good size for myself and my son (10 Yr) . You could fit 2 adults but would be a squeeze. Alternatives look a bit flimsy and are more for swimming pools but this is good for reservoirs, lochs, lakes and canals. Probably OK in the sea if sticking near the shoreline on a calm day but I reckon you need a certain level of ability to do that which I don't have. We'll worth it even if you were to only use it occasionally.

Bought the boat in June and used it multiple times this summer. We've used it in Weymouth Bay, Portland Harbour and Chesil Beach with no problems. Had a lot of fun every single time. Boat is sturdy, easy to inflate, easy to carry and very safe. Oars are way too short though, which makes paddling harder than it's necessary. Taking under consideration the price - I couldn't be happier with this purchase though. Bought it as a birthday present with no knowledge about inflatable boats and hours spend on researching... and not disappointed. Highly recommended.

I purchased Intex Callenger boat two years ago therefore I can give an honest and valuable review. It is BRILLIANT! This is a very durable, spacious boat. It fits in a large IKEA bag and it has several separate air compartments what makes it a very safe boat - if one happens to deflate you still will be able to safely reach the shore. This boat is perfect for two adults and a big picnic bag, I think it should be able to accomodate three, but it would be quite snug. There are two removable seats that are also fun to hold on while swimming and two oars. This boat is very easy to inflate (pump was included) and to carry once inflates as it has a durable rope around it. We had many wonderful summer days sunbathing on the lake in this boat. It is one of the best purchases on Amazon.

I bought one of these about two years ago and have used it quite a lot including giving it some mild abuse such as dragging it over rocks with people in. It's been perfect and has given my family lots of fun. It feels safe and secure. I think it's the best £50 I have spent in a long time. The pump is very fast and puts air into the boat during both the push and pull strokes, and the oars are a reasonable quality. The valves have a cleaver double opening which allows the air to come out very quickly when it's time to pack the boat up. It's a bit cramped with my wife and two children (aged 9 and 10) in the boat, but we wouldn't want anything bigger. I have no hesitation in giving this boat five stars.

Great price and loads of fun. Very easy to blow up and deflate. Rolls up small

This boat is great. Used at the beach. Easy to inflate and deflate. Comfortable and good quality. The weight is wht makes the boat sturdy when canoeing.

I bought this for the kids to play aroun it while on holiday. It handled both sea, harbour and river easily. It is a sturdy boat for the price. It flexes over the waves and doesn't remain rigid, but you wouldn't expect it to. It handled 4 young teenagers and their exuberance with ease. The base inside the boat is more substantial than I have seen before and it has proved to be bombproof in spite of the youthful zeal of my children and their friends. The oars are a different matter, dont get me wrong, they are solid enough. This boat is about 9 foot long, the oars scarcely meet the water and are a good 3 foot too short. They are fine as paddles, but next to useless as oars. In spite of the boat having 2 sets of rowlocks, there is only 1 set of "oars" which is insufficient to move the boat against the current in a river. It really needs 7 foot or 2m oars.

Très grand et solide, gonflage en 8mn utilisé pour allé sur un lac tout simplement génial.

My 13 year old son and I go fishing a lot, and he loses lures. We wanted something we could have in the car with us to retrieve lures that get hung up in the reeds. I figured that for the cost we could give this one a try. We got it and inflated it on the living room floor. The pump was ok, it would have done the job, but we have a rechargable electric pump (highly recommended) that filled all three chambers within 5 minutes and deflated it just as quickly. The Boston valve is great, it helps a lot. Off to the lake we went. The kids had no idea how to row, but with trial and error, they figured it out! Rescued two lures from an earlier fishing trip, and they just had fun. It was stable in the water, and big enough for them both, 16 year old girl and 13 year old boy. We made each ofthem jump out and then climb back in to make sure they could, and it stayed upright and they were able to climb back in from the water. As a parent, I like that it was stable enough for them to be able to safely get back in. My comments or suggestions are few, buy a portable pump, you won't regret it; this is not a toy, make sure you have a life vests for each person in it; and check the oars every so often, we noticed that they came unscrewed after a while during use! Overall we're really happy with the purchase!

Elektrikli motor takmak oldukça zor olacak, taşıyıcı bir ayna tasarlamak zorundalar, benim 15 sene zodiac bot tecrübem var, iç tabana köpük bir taban tablası koyacağım, aksi halde, insanların popoları denizin içine deve hörgücü gibi çıkıyor, bu da gidişi zorluyor😂, 2009 da challenger 2 eski version da denedim ve görmüştüm. Sonra zodiac aldım, 15 sene kullandım. Bu botu belki yemli balık tutarım diye aldım. Challenger bot ile kıyıdan max 100 mt uzaklaşılmalı, geçmişte Ege de hafif rüzgar çıktı karadan denize doğru, uzaklaşmaya başlayınca korktuk, kürekle zor kıyıya ulaştık, rüzgar hiç yoktu 17-18 saatlerinde karadan denize doğru başladı, bu bir tehlike, ayrıca botun üstünde insan gövdesi de itici güç oluşturup açığa sürüklüyor, eğilerek ve kürek çekerek kıyıya zor geldik. Uzun yazı oldu ama bilgiler hayati.

ممتاز جدا بآرك الله فيكم
