Description
Description
The Jobe Gama Inflatable Kayak is a well-equipped two-person inflatable kayak package for relaxed exploring on rivers, lakes, estuaries and sheltered coastal water. At 365cm long and 95.5cm wide, it gives you a reassuringly stable platform without the storage, transport and roof-rack demands of a hard-shell kayak.
The big difference with the Gama is its drop-stitch floor. This helps the kayak feel firmer under you, improves tracking and gives a more efficient paddling feel than softer, entry-level inflatable kayaks. For couples, families and occasional paddlers who want something practical but better built, it sits in a strong sweet spot.
Who is the Jobe Gama best for?
The Gama is best suited to paddlers looking for an easy-to-own tandem inflatable kayak for calm water adventures. It works well for weekend paddles, holiday use, gentle touring, wildlife watching and family days out where storage space and transport convenience matter.
It may not be the right choice if you want a kayak for white water, exposed sea conditions, surf, heavy expedition loads or regular rough-water use. For most UK leisure paddlers, its ideal environment is calm rivers, lakes, canals, sheltered harbours and estuaries in suitable weather and tide conditions.
Why choose the Jobe Gama Inflatable Kayak?
- Two-person layout: ideal for paddling with a partner, friend or older child.
- Drop-stitch floor: gives a firmer, more stable feel underfoot and helps the kayak paddle more efficiently.
- Wide 95.5cm platform: reassuring stability for relaxed cruising and beginner-friendly use.
- Compact inflatable format: easier to store at home and transport in the car than a rigid kayak.
- Comfortable EVA deck: improves grip and comfort inside the kayak.
- Neoprene anti-scratch panels: added protection in higher-wear areas.
- Complete package: includes seats, paddles, pump, fin, bag and repair kit, so you have the core kit needed to get started.
Plain-English feature breakdown
Drop-stitch floor for a better paddling feel
The drop-stitch floor is what makes the Gama feel more composed than a very soft inflatable kayak. It gives the base more rigidity, which helps with straight-line tracking, paddling efficiency and overall confidence on the water.
Stable tandem shape
At 365cm long and 95.5cm wide, the Gama gives two paddlers a stable, practical platform. It is not a narrow performance kayak, but that is part of the appeal. It is built around easy-going use, comfort and confidence.
Comfort-focused deck and seating
The 3mm EVA deck gives a more comfortable contact point inside the kayak, while the included seats use a Velcro fixing system for simple positioning. This makes it easier to set up for two paddlers, or to adjust the layout depending on who is using it.
Practical protection and storage details
Neoprene anti-scratch panels, PVC splash panels, rear bungee storage and multiple carry handles all help make the Gama more usable in real life. These are the details that matter when you are launching, landing, carrying the kayak and taking extra kit with you.

Buying advice from The SUP Company
If you want a simple, low-cost inflatable kayak for very occasional summer use, the Jobe Croft Inflatable Kayak may also be worth considering. The Gama is the stronger choice if you want a more capable feel on the water, thanks to its drop-stitch floor, wider platform and more confidence-inspiring build.
If you need more capacity or a longer touring-style kayak for family paddles, take a look through our full inflatable kayak collection. For safety and comfort, we also recommend pairing your kayak with a properly fitted buoyancy aid, a suitable waterproof dry bag and any extra kayak paddles or spares you may need.
FAQs
Is the Jobe Gama suitable for beginners?
Yes. The wide shape, inflatable construction and drop-stitch floor make it a good option for beginners and occasional paddlers who want stability, easy storage and a more solid feel than a basic inflatable kayak.
Can the Jobe Gama be paddled solo?
It is designed as a two-person kayak, but it can be used solo in suitable conditions if the seating position and load are set up sensibly. For regular solo paddling, a dedicated one-person inflatable kayak may be easier to handle.
What water is the Jobe Gama best for?
It is best for calm rivers, lakes, canals, estuaries and sheltered coastal water. Avoid strong offshore winds, fast tides, surf, white water and exposed sea conditions unless you have the right experience, safety equipment and local knowledge.
Does it include paddles and a pump?
Yes. The Gama package includes two kayak paddles, a hand pump, seats, fin, carry bag and repair kit, giving you the main equipment needed to get started.
Is a buoyancy aid included?
No. A buoyancy aid is not listed as part of the standard package. We strongly recommend wearing a correctly fitted buoyancy aid whenever kayaking. You can browse suitable options in our buoyancy aid collection.
Is the Gama better than a basic inflatable kayak?
For most paddlers, yes. The drop-stitch floor gives it a firmer, more efficient feel, which helps with comfort, tracking and confidence on the water. A cheaper inflatable may be fine for very occasional use, but the Gama is a better option if you want something that feels more capable.
