BARK B-230CND – Two-Person Boat with Transom & Sliding Seats (All-in-One)

The BARK B-230CND represents the pinnacle of innovation in BARK’s rowing boats, designed to meet the needs of the most demanding users. This two-person model brings together all key features: the stability of a slatted floor, the convenience of adjustable seats, and the capability for motorization thanks to the transom board. The result is an extremely versatile boat that you can configure to the situation – whether it’s an all-day fishing expedition, a wilderness exploration, or even specialized tasks like environmental monitoring or rescue operations in calm waters.

The adjustable seats transform the on-board experience. Both benches can move along the length of the boat, allowing precise weight distribution between the bow and stern. If it’s just two of you, you can spread them out for more space; if you’re carrying equipment, you can position them to keep the boat level. When operating an outboard motor, the sliding rear seat lets you sit at the optimal distance to comfortably handle the tiller, while the front seat can be shifted to maintain proper trim. If one person wants to lie down or you need to transport a bulky item, one of the benches can even be removed temporarily.

The transom board on the B-230CND is securely integrated and built to carry an engine (up to ~2.5 HP) along with its accessories (fuel tank or battery). The combination of two human rowers and the option for motor power makes this boat incredibly adaptable – for example, you can row against a light current, and if it strengthens, fire up the engine to continue effortlessly. The slatted floor plays a crucial role here as well: even as loads shift (fuel being used, people moving), the boat remains stable, and the floor’s anti-slip surface means your feet stay planted when you’re standing or changing position.

With a capacity of 210 kg, the B-230CND allows quite a lot of gear besides the two passengers. This could include coolers, batteries, tool kits, or caught fish – the boat will carry everything you need for your journey. The sturdiness of the hull and chambers is of the usual high BARK standard: five-layer PVC, reinforced seams, and high-reliability valves. Safety is double-assured – twin independent chambers plus additional measures like ropes and handles. All of this is backed by BARK’s 3-year warranty, underscoring the product’s quality.

Recommended Uses:

• Professional Fishing & Long Expeditions: For fishing guides or avid anglers who spend all day on the water, the B-230CND offers unparalleled comfort. You can stand up for spotting or casting, move quickly with a motor to different spots, and adjust the seats to avoid fatigue. It’s ideal for long carp sessions or exploring large water bodies with lots of ground to cover.
• Research & Scientific Missions: Teams of two researchers can use the boat for lake monitoring, sample collection, or wildlife surveys. The sliding seats allow you to position equipment (like sonar, GPS units, cameras) optimally, and the motor helps in quickly moving between data collection points.
• Rescue & Emergency Operations: In calm waters (reservoirs, big lakes), the B-230CND can serve as a rescue craft where flexibility is key. Rescuers can rearrange the seats to make space for a casualty and use the engine for fast return to shore. The high capacity allows carrying more first-aid gear or multiple people during evacuations.
• Hunting Expeditions: Hunters targeting waterfowl or other game who operate in pairs will appreciate the stability and ability to stand for better sightlines. The boat easily carries firearms, ammunition, a dog, and trophies. With the motor, you can swiftly move between different spots on a large lake or bay, then drift or row quietly into position when you near your prey.
• Maximum Enjoyment for Hobby & Leisure: For water adventure enthusiasts who want “the best of everything,” the B-230CND is the perfect choice. It can be used for anything – from family outings (with unmatched comfort and safety) to snorkeling adventures (the boat can hold two divers with their gear) to simply cruising the shoreline. There’s no other rowing inflatable in this class that offers such a rich feature set and adaptability.
