The boat was designed for a family vacation with children at sea. It was clear that this is a toy. In fact, the boat turned out to be much more robust than expected. Quality processing and handling safety are truly exemplary. The fun factor is very high, especially since the boat is extremely durable. The paddles can save. They break easily at the screw locations in the center and thus (hence only 4 stars for durability) correspond not the robustness of the boat. We also procured one-piece paddle.
