AQUAVUE Voyager, Clear Bottom Inflatable Raft, for Kids and Adults

LOVE the boat and it’s been a hit with the kids at the beach and in the pool. We’ve used it at the beach and in the pool and have even taken it on vacation/road trip. It rolls up easily and is small enough to travel with, yet big enough to fit 4 kids (9 yrs, two 8 yrs, and a 3-yr old); weight-wise that’s over the stated limit (185 lbs), but space-wise it was OK. It’s fairly sturdy and had taken some abuse before it developed a 1-inch tear at the seam between the bottom and inflatable tube part, so, although water was coming in it still stayed afloat. We were pretty rough with it tho, so I’m not surprised it tore. From the first use, as some reviewers noted, it did seem to lose a little air during use, but I was actually able to blow more air in while it was in the water because the holes are near the top (we were in a pool when I tried this). Additionally, the bottom seemed to stretch a bit after several uses, but again, we were pretty rough with it. We’d lift the kids and toss them over the side, and I’m sure one or two kids jumped into the boat from the side of the pool. Needless to say it was GREAT fun. The bottom was very clear. My kids were looking for sea shells at the beach. Someone would pretend to be a shark in the pool. We never did get a chance to use it to see fish before it broke, but I’m sure it’d work well. We plan on ordering another one. My only complaint is the small piece of rope they provide. It’s so short it was hard to pull while at the beach; I’d wrap it around my hand to get a solid grip so it wouldn’t get pulled away by waves. (Use it only when the water is really calm.) That was a small inconvenience.

My 9 year old really rough houses this inflatable in the water and it has not developed a single hole, there is no stretching, fading or signs of wear after this summer.

We own three of these boats at each grandparents house and one for our house! They are amazing for children. We were most recently able to fit 2 4 year olds and a 7 year old in it for snorkeling! If you want to actually see out the bottom, I’d say 2 kids max. The children loved sitting in the boat until they felt comfortable enough to snorkel with their masks. We have also used this boat when our daughter was about 1 in Turks and Caicos and she loved it as well! I only have one picture from Turks and Caicos! Unfortunately I don’t have other photos because we’re always too busy having fun to take pictures!

Loved it initially. Item is as described. It's very cool to be able to look under water, especially in a pond or river, however it popped after only a week of light use. Needs to be made a bit larger and more sturdy. I was past the return point as I bought it then kept it in the box until my daughters birthday party months later. Didn't last long and was actually quite pricey. Too bad. I gave it 4 stars because the concept is awesome, but durability is terrible.

Here is the Standard Review for the Sieco Design AQUAVUE Voyager Clear Bottom Inflatable Raft. The innovative clear bottom lets you see beneath the surface, perfect for observing fish, plants, and underwater life! We use ours in the pool and bring it on vacation as it is portable, lightweight and easy to inflate. It's really cool to look at fish and coral from above! The raft is very durable and puncture resistant. We've taken it on several trips without any issues. Our kids love it!

Larger than I expected. Easily fits an adult and child. Picture shows 6’2 140lb teenager in boat with a 5 year old. This was perfect so that my child who is physically disabled could be involved as we snorkeled in the lagoon. They loved helping him see the fish.

Took this on a vacation to Cancun. Water was so rough and so churned up, we really couldn’t use it at all. WAAY too choppy and no visibility. I almost returned this, opened, but unused. But we’re going to try again next year. And there will still be little ones - a 3yo and a 4yo. So I am keeping it with fingers crossed. BUT, be very aware, the air chamber is really large, and the vinyl is thick and strong (not like thin blow up rings or beach balls or toddler pools). This raft has a crazy massive amount of inflating to do thru a little tiny valve. If you’re thinking about blowing it up by mouth, I think it would take hours! I finally paid a shopkeeper who had an electric air pump $5 to inflate it. (And I was lucky to find someone willing to do it.) Best $5 I ever spent! Plan ahead about some method of inflating that is NOT by mouth.

Wasn't entirely happy with it. Leaked air from the seems and not always able to get a clear view from the bottom because it would trap air under it distorting the view.
