We want to begin this review by saying that this is not something you would want to take into the open ocean or on any long journeys. Reason one, rowing with the included oars and the oarlocks is awkward and very straining. The included oars are just too short to make rowing comfortable. The oarlocks are also locked in place, which intex frame pool makes the range of motion even shorter. Rowing this was more like a workout than a leisurely activity, it felt like I had my hands straight up in the air, which was extremely exhausting. Several owners have reported that their oars have broken upon their first use, something you don’t want to happen when you’re out in the open.
Due to this inflatable boat’s width and length, up to five-people can be in it at any given time.

It’s great for large families or fishermen who have tons of gear to bring. You can easily row it on calmer rivers as well if the current isn’t too strong and it’s very comfortable to relax in.
