Gumotex inflatable canoes, such as the Gumotex Baraka and Palava are sold in the USA under the brand name Innova. They are increasingly popular in Europe (Gumotex are a Czech company) but can be a little hard to get a hold of in America.

I’ve tracked down a store that has the full range of Gumotex inflatable canoes available as their Innova range.

See here – Innova (Gumotex) inflatable canoes – for the full range.

I saw the first one when I was on holiday in Florida, and was very tempted to buy it there and then. I resisted – partly because I thought it would probably be flimsy and unreliable. I don’t remember what make it was, but it was a bright yellow 2 person canoe.

I might have been right about the quality of inflatable canoes at the time – I’ll never know. This video shows that they are certainly not flimsy now. (Note: this is not me – they’re far more compentent than I am!)

Very solid, and manoeverable – this canoe looks like it was built to last. It seems to be a Gumotex Baraka, which is one of the larger canadian-style inflatable canoes on the market.
