I got my BARUM inflatable boat in 1975. Over the past 51 years, it has been used by several generations of our family – from me all the way to my grandchildren. It’s hard to imagine a better testament to its quality.

SAFARI is the best, most versatile kayak for coastal paddling I have used, and I love it. Sometimes I cannot believe what these little boats are capable of on the seas around our island Donoussa, close to Naxos, Greece.

I ride the PALAVA alone, with my wife and my Labrador – and it always does exactly what I need it to do. I can inflate and assemble 3 seats in 10 minutes, and on the way I can see kingfishers, herons and fish backs from the deck that you can't see from the shore.

My son learned to paddle on the CALEYA almost immediately – it was stable, easy to handle and safe even for a twelve-year-old boy with no experience. Its low weight and easy transport made it not only a boat for trips, but also a fishing partner.

Your ships are flawless. Thaya can handle both the sea and the river.

The Gumotex Junior was part of our family for more than 30 years. I first sat in it as a child next to my father, and many years later I was taking my own sons out in the very same boat. Few products can offer this kind of durability and so many shared memories.

RUSH is the most reliable and forgiving kayak. It's the best choice for beginners. You don't have to worry about stability.

THAYA is an excellent kayak. This year we paddled the River Tâm in it, and next year we're planning to explore the Ardèche.

A week on a yacht, with the TWIST II exposed to wind and sun 24 hours a day... and it handled it perfectly.

I've tried GUMOTEX rafts in both the yellow and grey versions – in my opinion, they're the best on the market.

I've been using the SOLAR in the Canadian wilderness, and even after 10 years it still performs brilliantly. Amazing quality and performance. A fantastic product.

I own a FRAMURA. It's an excellent kayak.
