The Intex Excursion 5 is a spacious inflatable boat that has an attachment for a small motor.
We tested this while sailing–to get to land when on anchor–and on rivers and canals. We even went fishing and managed to catch a perch (not too big unfortunately).
This inflatable dinghy boat can accommodate up to 4 people on board. Moreover, it is made of sturdy vinyl. The vinyl can withstand sharp objects and other potentially deflating points of hindrance found by the shore during launch and landing.
The size of the boat requires a bit of effort and space to inflate. But once done and set in the water it’s surprisingly sturdy. That comes in handy when casting with a fishing rod and reeling in a catch.
All in all, the Excursion 5 is a dinghy that can comfortably accommodate 2/3 adults and 2 children. There are holes for another set of oars, but they aren’t included (unfortunately). There’s a transom system (sold separately) for a motor to speed up to 5 miles per hour or for trolling.
