Reservation for 2? The Tomcat Tandem inflatable kayak from Aire serves up fun on your local waterways with a highly durable, easily maneuverable design.

  • Mildly rockered, 3-chamber hull offers agility on the river yet tracks well on calm water
  • Thick, PVC-coated nylon I-beams offer superior strength and stability
  • PVC-coated polyester reinforces outer shell and enhances puncture and tear resistance; highly durable vinyl bladders offer superior flotation
  • Self-bailing floor quickly drains water
  • Adjustable seats with backrests offer comfortable back support, and they detach for use as a camp chair on shore
  • High-quality Summit valves make inflation easy; protective caps screw down securely to eliminate debris and accidental deflation
  • 18 pairs of cargo loops allow easy attachment of accessories and gear; large carry loops at bow and stern ease transport to the water
  • Includes repair kit: 6 x 6 in. PVC, vinyl, and urethane-coated nylon; Summit 2 valve wrench and adapter; tubing adapter; adhesive patch, prep pads; instructions and sandpaper

Made in USA.

Comments about Aire Tomcat Tandem Inflatable Kayak:

I've had this IK for several weeks now and take it out several times a week. It is awesome, the only drawback I've come to find is the weight, it is a bit on the heavy side. Welded seams would be nice (if I had to do over I would have upgraded and had REI special order a Strike II) but this IK will last for quite a while.

Comments about Aire Tomcat Tandem Inflatable Kayak:

I purchased a Tomcat Tandem from REI, on the first trip I took it out on the Rogue and it handled Several Class II,III, and IV. I did it roll it on the last IV but that was our fault. This thing just plowed through the waves. Easy to control for its size. On flat water it will get sideways at time. Wind really affects on flat water also, but it does handle well. I highly recommend the Tomcat for beginners and families looking for an affordable, quality, entry level IK.
Plenty of room, I'm 6'2 and my buddy is 5"10 we fit no problem with room to spare.
