inflatable raft

Air-filled floatation vessel

An inflatable raft is a buoyant watercraft made of air-filled chambers, typically rubber or synthetic material.

Small versions serve as pool toys or emergency flotation devices; larger ones carry passengers down rivers for whitewater rafting.

Unlike rigid boats, inflatable rafts can be deflated and stored compactly: We packed the inflatable raft in the trunk.
