Its multi-layer, drop-stitch structure ensures rapid inflation and optimum rigidity once on the water. What's more, the GoBoat packs away into a backpack, making it extremely easy to transport. It fits in a car boot and can be taken anywhere without too much effort. Inflate, install motor and battery, attach seat... In 5 minutes, the GoBoat is ready to go.
