Product Description

The Sandbanks Explorer Single inflatable kayak is a stable and easy-to-use kayak designed for relaxed adventures on lakes, rivers and calm coastal waters. Its flat-bottom hull and open-top design provide excellent balance and comfort, making it a great choice for beginners while still delivering enjoyable performance for experienced paddlers.

The slightly wider design of the latest Explorer model improves stability, giving paddlers extra confidence when exploring new waterways. Despite being inflatable, the kayak is engineered to deliver the feel and performance of a traditional solid kayak, allowing it to glide smoothly through flat water without sacrificing control.

Compact, portable and simple to transport, the Explorer is perfect for paddlers who want the freedom to explore different locations without needing roof racks or trailers.

Key Features

• Stable flat-bottom hull for calm water paddling
• Slightly wider design for improved stability and balance
• Open-top layout for comfortable and easy access
• Lightweight inflatable construction for easy transport
• Front and rear luggage straps for carrying dry bags and gear
• Designed for lakes, rivers and calm coastal waters
• Available in Orange or Turquoise colour options

What's Included

• Explorer Single inflatable kayak
• Removable deluxe kayak seat
• Four-piece kayak paddle
• Adjustable foot rests
• Removable skeg for improved tracking and speed
• High-quality wheeled transport bag

All equipment packs neatly into the included transport bag, making it easy to store and carry your kayak whether you're heading to a lake, river or coastal launch point.

Performance

The Explorer kayak is designed to move efficiently through flat water while maintaining excellent stability. The flat-bottom design makes it forgiving for new paddlers, while the removable skeg improves tracking so the kayak holds its line during longer paddles.

The result is a kayak that feels responsive and stable, providing a fun and relaxing paddling experience across a wide range of calm water conditions.

Colour Options

This kayak is available in two colourways:

• Orange
• Turquoise

Warranty

The Explorer inflatable kayak is backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty, providing reassurance in the durability and quality of the kayak’s construction.

ABOUT US

Last updated: December 11, 2025

Hi, I'm George — and with me in the picture is Ella. This was taken near the top of Ben Hope, the most northerly Munro in the UK!

GOTCHU was built from a simple belief that great adventures deserve great equipment & the right gear can completely change your experience outdoors.

After many trips exploring the UK — from the rugged coastline of northern Scotland to the vast landscapes of the Highlands — sometimes with the right gear and ofter with the wrong gear. We realised finding equipment that was reliable, well-designed, and genuinely built for real-world adventure wasn't always straightforward. So we decided to build a place that focused on exactly that.

Who’s Behind GOTCHU?

Well, Us! We’re outdoor enthusiasts first — the business simply grew from that passion.

Whether it's hiking remote trails, exploring the NC500, camping on the coast, or chasing views in the Highlands, adventure is a big part of our lives.

The experiences we’ve had outdoors shapes the products we choose to sell.

If it isn’t something we’d trust on our own trips, it doesn’t make it onto the site.

This hands-on approach means every product is chosen with intention — focusing on durability, usability, and performance where it actually matters.

Why We Started GOTCHU

We noticed that a lot of outdoor gear retailers had become either; mass-market catalogue stores or overly niche boutiques — We wanted something in between.

A place where you could confidently buy equipment knowing it had been carefully selected, properly sourced, and backed by people who actually use it.

We’ve curated a wide range of outdoor products in one place so you don’t have to jump between multiple websites.

And if you ever feel like a product is missing or would make a great addition to the store — please reach out and let us know.

Our Approach

We work closely with UK-based manufacturers, distributors, and specialist suppliers to source equipment that meets our expectations for:

  • durability
  • performance
  • usability

Everything in our catalogue is selected deliberately.

Our goal isn’t to sell everything — it’s to sell the right things.

Equipment that earns its place on your next trip.

Adventure should be exciting — not stressful because your equipment lets you down.

That’s why we built GOTCHU.

Reliable gear.
Carefully chosen.
Backed by people who actually use it.

Trust us — we gotchu.

Every product we sell is something we’d happily take on our own trips.

GOTCHU Ltd is a small independent business built by two outdoor enthusiasts who believe great gear makes better adventures.
