Receieved my order the other day and had it out on the water with my wife and two young kids... It is super easy to set up and take down, and performs very well on the water... I took it in the Harbor for the most of the day, but eventually got into open ocean waters and it worked better than I would have expected.
Love our new Discovery dingy! Very stable, so easy to get on and off from the water, dock and mothership. Seats 4 with gear very comfortably. We glide over the water effortlessly with our lovely epropulsion motor.
Great customer service as well!
I want to start by saying my wife and I purchased this kit at an RV show.This was not on our radar when where attending the RV show. However, after having a conversation with the guys at the display booth my wife and I could see a use in purchasing it as we traveled throughout the US. It is able to be broken down into two bags weighing only 61lbs and can easly be stowed away. At the time of this review we have not used this kit. We are very pleased with the construction of it and have no reason why it should not give us years of exploring.
Painless ordering process, great customer service/communication, fast shipping with safe packaging.
It looks like an excellent rod holder but I haven’t had a chance to actually use it yet!! Next week I’ll be heading to the Texas Gulf coast and then I’ll be able to give a honest review!! Will be fishing mainly for Redfish and Sea Trout!! Ralph Furtman!
True Kit USA was available by phone to answer questions and very impressed with the construction of the boat.
Boat has been fantastic. Was debating between 3.3 and 4.0. So glad I went with 3.3...4.0 would have been two heavy for my old body to move as much as I need to when camping. Once assembled, using the transom wheels, I can get it anywhere. Last camping site, I needed to move it 1/3 of a mile to the ramp.
Literally one of the best days we’ve had in a long time! Wife and kids caught fish, we got to explore parts of the island we have never seen before it was awesome. After my order I realized I made a major shipping mistake but no worries after a short call the guys at the shop fixed it and I got the boat to Kauai in a few days! 9.9 short shaft could scoot us around at 15 knots
for what i paid and mass produced in China
Thanks for your review Rhys. Our seat bags are custom designed by True Kit, made of high quality solution-dyed fabric, YKK #10 zips, ptfe threads, and certainly not mass produced. Hope it lasts well for you!
Vary impressive product top quality.
I bought this dinghy to function as a tender for my Lagoon 40 catamaran. I was attracted to it because it's lightweight, its stability, ease of getting on and off, transporting supplies from the marina to our boat while on anchor, and being able to easily fish and dive off of it. It's proven to be a sound little vessel for our needs. It's fast and can take rough water fairly easily without feeling like needing to pull the ripcord.
For my personal needs, and davit system on board, it does have some limitations that could be improved with some updates to the design. We drilled holes through the transom and attached eye bolts so that we could hoist the dinghy with our davits and not have to remove the 15 horsepower outboard. Since the inflatable boat does not have several strong interior D-rings to hoist, we are always trying to figure out the best way to keep the dinghy for a davit system.
Be aware that it can be challenging to find a solution that allows you to bring the top of the inflatable boat all the way snug to your davits. If you have davits that are suspended from a stainless steel arch or something much higher than a standard catamaran davit, then you won't have any issues.
For live-aboard cruisers wanting to use this boat as a tender, I would recommend it for your adventures. Just be ready to come up with a hoisting solution that works.
Best dinghy ever!
Excellent quality and and design.
I had a good experience calling and discussing my needs, and subsequently ordering the Tactitian. I felt that I was being treated fairly and honestly. The kayak arrived very quickly, and without any apparent damage. I set it up, inflated it and installed the seats and seat cushions, and that went smoothly. I have not had a chance to put it in the water to use it yet, but it seems well made and with tough materials. Still researching a light weight motor to put on it.
Gotta love the quick lock wheels. Packing away and putting on is a breeze.
Moving the 4m boat is easy, now just need something for the front that I can pull. Working on it! I'm a T12 paraplegic and loving the setup so far. Thank you True Kit!
Super fun boat! Easy to inflate and carry.Sales team are very helpful and knowledgeable about the product and how to use it. Very happy costumer 👍✅😉
As I have not used it yet my review is based on appearances only. Seems well made. Packs small. A little pricey.
Light weight. Packs pretty easily. Stable.
Made the purchase and received without delay. Set it all up by myself without issue. Even went to the lake the following day. May not sound like much but I'm a t12 para so it was done from in my wheelchair. When I needed a signature on the receipt they got that to me the same day so I'm all registered with the state as well. Awesome boat and awesome people!
