While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Brand new out of the box and already defective.
The deck pad is peeling and lifting around the logo area before I even had a chance to use it in the water. This is clearly a manufacturing or adhesive failure, not normal wear.
Very disappointing for a product at this price point. Quality control should be much better.
Returning immediately. Would not recommend.
I received a damaged product from boteboard Australia and the company hasn’t responded to repeated emails or messages. I also tried their USA email account. No response.
We own 10 kayaks and decided to buy 2 of Bote's inflatables (Low Rider and Easy Rider) to use while living in our camper.
They are very comfortable and look nice.
We found paddling them to be a chore as they don't glide very easily through the water, especially on windy days. These are also best for warm/hot days because you'll get wet. At a minimum, you need to be standing in the water in order to attach the underside fin near the rear.
Sadly after having them for just 3 weeks, one is destroyed.
I stored these boards on edge, against our camper and the hot air from our camper heater exhaust melted one. My fault, but the company would not offer any break on a new one beyond what they sell them for to the public because it would be at "a loss" for them.
It is for that reason that I will not buy another.
In summary, we like the boards enough for summer use only and will not buy another inflatable product from Bote or anywhere else.
If you buy an inflatable to use while rving, remember my hard lesson and keep them away from your heat exhaust vent.
