Testimonials

The Boat People and Innova are my two favorite e-tailers on the planet. Just last week, I called about pumps for my Innova boats. Not only did you folks spend the needed time with me but my pumps are already here.
I appreciate the time you took with me as a customer. I have bought pumps before, each one with high hopes of not needing to buy a replacement for at least a year or two. It looks like the Bravo IIs just might last.
NOTE: I have two Bravo I's that I love for compactness and efficiency but one is already sporting half a tube of AguaSeal where the top plate has cracked and the bellows worn through multiple times.
I hope you folks stay in business for multiple generations to come. Folks like yourselves and Tim at Innova are a rare breed.
Many Thanks

A Very Satisfied Customer

(Note from Lee Arbach - (the problems Don mentions with the Bravo I foot pump are caused by a thin area in the mold these Italian footpump plates are made from, and it's also the reason we now carry the small Bravo 7M instead of the Bravo I))

I recently bought a Solar II from you and it is wonderful. This is my first Kayak. It paddles great and packs great too. ! On the maiden voyage I thought "why use that silly fin ?". From then on I use it religiously. The boat is fast and is not too wind sensitive.

I also like the seat backs better than my friends sunny. It has great lower back support. I am 6'8" and have plenty of leg room with the seats. Also, we are very heavy. I'm 260, wife 170, kid 40 lbs and the boat seems just fine on mostly flat water so far. Thanks again, Peter

Thought you might like this Picture We went down the Lower Kern at 370 cfs. This is My son on Hari Cari. Sincerly, David Carter.

(Note from Lee Arbach - (note: at low to moderate flows this is the trickiest of several class four's and many III+ rapids on this run, although this photo doesn't show the meat of the rapid at all. Getting through Hari Kari upright on a Safari, the boat David bought for his son and arguably the tippiest inflatable kayak made, is no easy feat!).)

Thank you so much for all of your help with the new purchase. I am truly amazed at the high quality of the kayaks. Inflation was a breeze. When we got out on the river we had several queries as to where to get one of these. Even guides from the outfitting companies were checking them out. I am very satisfied and look forward to using them whenever I can.

Since I have been renting IKs from you for over a decade, I wanted to add a picture to your new section along with a few comments. The picture is from the NF Stanislaus (one of my favorite IK runs). I have always been eminently pleased with the performance and condition of the equipment I have rented from you. I have, also, been impressed with your familiarity with, and with the honest appraisal of, the performance characteristics of each of the various types of IKs in your stock. Best of luck in the future! - Bart Bartholomew
