 The set up to assemble and disassemble is 10 minutes for each. 

 WaterStrider boats range in weight from 17 to 25 pounds which make transporting so easy.  Our “Traveler Raft” can easily be put in a suitcase for air travel.  Check out the raft descriptions on the web page. 

All boats are equipped with a packable Storage Bag, Fins, 3 Piece Oars, Stripping Apron, K100 mini Pump for the Halkey-Robert valves, and a Repair Kit. 

 The WaterStrider is 7.8 feet long and 4.1 feet wide.  Since the raft length is under 8 feet, most states will not charge a registration fee.   

The Water Strider was named the "Best of the Best" by Field and Stream in 2005 and has remained a favorite with distinguished anglers ever since. The inflatable seat gives you low center of gravity, stability, one with the water, and comfort verses a ridged formed seat of wood.  With the open floor design you can stop and  wade safely or pick it up and walk with it.  It also makes  manuering the boat so easy by wearing the included fins.  You can easily paddle like a duck in the water without using the oars and allowing both hands free to fish.  The Water Strider floats in very shallow water or can handle Class IV rapids.  It's the ultimate fishing experience.
