BARK B-240C Inflatable Boat – Two-Person Rowing Boat with Reinforced Floor (Stable 240 cm)

The BARK B-240C combines the compactness of the base B-240 model with added stability, thanks to its rigid slatted floor. This makes the boat particularly favored by anglers and water enthusiasts who want the option to stand or feel more secure during their adventures. With a length of 2.40 m and a capacity of 200 kg, the B-240C remains easy to transport and store, while providing enhanced onboard comfort and safety. The hull is made of reinforced 5-layer PVC (850 g/m²), meaning it withstands heavy use and adverse conditions – you won’t have to worry about sharp fishing hooks, rocky shores, or sun exposure damaging the boat. The slatted floor consists of three sturdy wooden panels that install easily and protect the inflatable bottom, while giving the boat a more rigid shape and feel.

Key Advantages:

• Improved Stability: The standout feature of the B-240C is its ribbed hard floor. The three wooden slats eliminate the “soft floor” sensation typical of small inflatables, allowing both passengers to stand upright or move around without the boat wobbling. This is a huge benefit when casting a fishing line, reeling in a catch, or taking photos of wildlife – you have a solid footing for better control.
• Comfort & Security: With a firm deck underfoot, spending extended time on the water is more comfortable – your feet remain stable, gear can be stowed more securely, and overall the boat feels more substantial. The two large air chambers (32 cm diameter) maintain the same high level of buoyancy and safety as the B-240 model, ensuring peace of mind in any situation.
• Versatility: The B-240C broadens your possibilities – in addition to regular fishing and boating, this model excels for activities like spearfishing and snorkeling. The hard floor makes it easier to don scuba gear and to climb back aboard after a dive. The boat is also useful for hunters in marshes or flooded areas where stability aids in shooting or navigating through reeds.
• Portable & Convenient: Despite the added floor panels, the boat remains relatively light (~18 kg) and very convenient to carry. The included carry bag is designed to fit the boat plus the floor slats. Disassembling the floor is quick, and the flat panels don’t take up much space. This means you can take the B-240C anywhere – from a weekend at the lake to an extended camping trip. It packs neatly and doesn’t hog your storage.

Recommended Uses & Applications:

• Fishing & Spearfishing: The B-240C is built with avid fishermen in mind. The stable floor allows for confident casting and retrieving, even if both people stand at the same time. If you’re into spearfishing or snorkeling, the boat serves as an excellent home base – you can gear up on the firm floor and re-enter the boat more easily after a swim or dive.
• Waterfowl Hunting: The boat suits hunters operating in shallow waters, marshes, or flooded timber. While this model doesn’t have the extra rub strake (that feature is on the B-260P), its tough PVC material can still handle occasional bumps. The B-240C’s stability lets you stand for better visibility when approaching ducks or other waterfowl, enhancing your hunting effectiveness.
• Leisure Boating & Camping: For couples or friends who enjoy leisurely paddling, the B-240C offers security and comfort. You can row around scenic lakes or gentle rivers, and the hard floor makes it easier to step in and out at shore stops (it doesn’t sag under your weight). Add a sunshade/awning, and you have a cozy little boat for relaxation on the water, providing shade during midday and a sheltered spot to enjoy nature.
• Training & Hobbies: If you’re teaching a child or a friend how to row or fish, this boat provides a stable platform for learning. It’s also great for hobbies like on-water photography – the stability helps in getting clearer shots since the boat resists rocking. The B-240C essentially gives you the confidence of a larger boat in a small, easy-to-handle package.
