Did you know that the United States reportedly has about 3,500,000 miles of rivers and 13,700 square miles of freshwater lakes? That’s not even counting the water along the coasts and other smaller waterways that crisscross the nation. That’s a lot of water “trails” that our rigs can’t navigate. Let’s not allow some water to stop us from our adventures. Having a portable, waterborne vessel accessible to you when you’re in the wild can provide the perfect way for you to explore where your vehicle can’t. Meet: Deus Aero 11-foot Classic Teak Inflatable Kayak One such option is the Deus Aero 11’ Classic Teak Inflatable Kayak, made by personal watercraft expert, Bote. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter The portable Bote Deus Aero 11-foot recreational inflatable kayak is designed with the weekend adventurer in mind and is suitable for those just beginning to explore the world of kayaking. It can be packed into a bag that’s easily transported in your adventure rig. This versatile, recreational kayak is constructed with Bote’s inflatable AeroBOTE Technology and goes from travel bag to an 11-foot-long, sit-on-top kayak in only a matter of minutes. An efficient hand pump is included. It’s A Convertible If you’re looking for leisure time at the lake or other calm waters, the kayak’s top chamber can be removed to transform it from an inflatable kayak into a super-stable stand-up paddleboard in seconds.

The experts at Bote created Deus for fun romps around waterways, which sounds mighty nice during the warm days of summer. Whether you’re looking to hit the water after work or take it along on an extended trip, the Deus Aero is engineered to revolutionize the way you explore. 01 Cockpit The Deus Aero’s sit-on-top design and self-bailing cockpit keep you comfortable and dry during your time on the water. 02 Transformable The Deus Aero can be converted from a sit-on-top inflatable kayak to a stand-up paddleboard in seconds.
