inflatable rafts

Air-filled water vessels

Inflatable rafts are buoyant watercraft made of flexible material filled with air.

They range from small pool toys to serious rescue equipment and river-running vessels.

The defining feature is portability—they deflate for storage and transport, then inflate when needed: We packed inflatable rafts for the camping trip.
