BARK B-190 – Ultra-Light One-Person Inflatable Rowing Boat

The BARK B-190 is the smallest inflatable boat in BARK’s lineup, offering a solo adventurer unmatched convenience and reliability on the water. Despite its compact size, this one-man dinghy boasts impressive stability and load-bearing capacity. Its tough 5-layer PVC construction and reinforced design (with two separate air chambers) ensure that even if one chamber is compromised, the boat will remain afloat. The streamlined shape with a slightly upturned bow helps navigate small waves and keeps you dry during calm lake or river trips. Setting up the boat is quick and effortless – you can inflate it, launch, and be on the water within minutes.

Whether you’re an angler looking to reach secluded fishing spots or a nature lover seeking a quiet paddle, the B-190 delivers. Its lightweight build means you can easily stow it in a car trunk or even carry it by hand to remote waters. No outboard motor is needed – this boat is optimized for rowing with special lightweight oars that provide efficient propulsion with minimal effort. The flat bench seat can be outfitted with a cushion or gear bag to enhance comfort for longer outings. Safety is a top priority: a grab-line runs along the boat’s perimeter for support and security, and high-quality valves guard against accidental air loss.

Recommended Uses:

• Calm Water Fishing: Perfect for angling on lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers. The B-190 offers a quiet, stable platform that won’t disturb fish in shallow or still waters.
• Carp Fishing & Bait Placement: Invaluable for carp anglers – you can silently ferry bait and lines out to strategic spots or retrieve large catches (like carp) without needing a larger vessel or causing commotion.
• Hunting & Wildlife Observation: Suitable for waterfowl hunters or wildlife photographers. It allows easy retrieval of downed birds from the water and lets you approach animals quietly without engine noise.
• Waterside Camping & Exploration: An excellent addition for campers and trekkers near water. The B-190 can be inflated on-site to explore nearby coves or cross rivers during outdoor adventures, then deflated and packed away when not in use.
• Diving and Snorkeling: Serves as a convenient personal platform for shallow diving or snorkeling excursions. Its small size makes it easy to anchor close to shore and use as a base for your mask, fins, and other gear.
