BARK B-220 – One-Person Inflatable Boat with Extra Space & Comfort

The BARK B-220 stands out as a one-person boat that offers a bit more comfort and capacity without complicating operation. With its extended length of 2.20 m, the B-220 provides the rower more room to stretch out and store gear – an advantage during longer stints on the water. The interior space (approximately 190 cm in length and 85 cm in width) is significantly greater than that of smaller models, meaning you’ll feel less confined and find it easier to handle fishing rods or other equipment on board.

Despite its extra length, this boat remains exceedingly convenient to transport. Its weight of about 10 kg allows even a single person to carry it on their back (when deflated and packed in its bag) along trails or shorelines. Setting it up is quick too – the packed dimensions (roughly 80×40×30 cm) fit easily into a car trunk or roof box.

The B-220 shares the same high-quality construction as other BARK boats: the tube material is a five-layer reinforced PVC that resists wear and punctures. The bottom is made of the same tough material with additional thickness to guard against rocks or shells in the water. The two air chambers that make up the hull give peace of mind – if you happen to puncture one side, the other will keep you afloat until you reach land.

The B-220’s outfitting is simple and practical. A single fixed wooden bench provides a place to sit while rowing. The position of this seat is calibrated to keep the boat well-balanced with one rower. Standard oarlocks on the sides hold the oars secure, which makes rowing easier and reduces strain on your arms. The package comes with everything you need: two oars, a foot pump for quick inflation, a repair kit (for minor fixes if needed), and a sturdy bag for storage and transport.

Recommended Uses:

• Everyday Fishing & Relaxation: The B-220 is great for daily fishing trips or leisurely water outings. The extra room means you can bring a larger tackle box, a folding chair, or additional comfort gear without the boat feeling cramped.
• Landing Big Catches: With a capacity around 160 kg, the boat can comfortably handle the angler plus a potentially large catch (big carp, catfish, etc.) along with all your gear. You won’t need to worry that a heavy fish will destabilize the boat.
• Photography & Nature Watching: If you enjoy photographing birds or landscapes during your outings, the B-220 offers a stable platform and space to keep a camera bag or even a small tripod. You can easily anchor near a riverbank or lakeshore for the perfect shot.
• Rowing Practice & Training: Thanks to its stability and larger size, this model is also suitable for teaching younger or beginner rowers. The boat is more forgiving of unsteady movements, and the spacious cockpit reduces the chance of knocking into the sides with the oars while learning.
• Camping & Adventure: For the solo camper who enjoys waterside adventures, the B-220 can serve as a ferry for hauling gear across a lake or just for recreation around the campsite. Inflate it in the evening for a quiet sunset fishing session and deflate it in the morning before hiking to the next spot – it’s that quick and easy.
