The present disclosure provides an inflatable kayak. The inflatable kayak includes an inflatable floor having two ends defined upward; two inflatable gunwales arranged on the left and right sides of the inflatable floor, the height of the upper edge at both ends of the inflatable gunwale being higher than the height at the middle of the inflatable gunwale, allowing the height of the prow and the stern of the inflatable kayak to be no less than the height at the middle of the inflatable kayak; and a reinforcing assembly including a bottom reinforcing layer, a prow hatchway cover, and a stern hatchway cover, the bottom reinforcing layer at least covering the joints of the inflatable floor and the two inflatable gunwales. The prow hatchway cover connects the two inflatable gunwales at the prow, and the stern hatchway cover connects the two inflatable gunwales at the stern.

A seat system for a watercraft defining a support surface, the seat system comprising a seat frame, a seat cover supported by the seat frame, at least one first mounting assembly, and at least one second mounting assembly. The at least one first mounting assembly is secured to the support surface. The at least one second mounting assembly is secured to the support surface. The seat frame is slid horizontally to engage one of the first mounting assemblies and is pivoted such that the seat frame moves downward to engage the second mounting assembly.

A modular seating assembly includes a top backrest portion, a seat support structure, and a bottom seating portion. The top backrest portion includes a backrest frame, a first backrest cushion, a backrest gap, and a second backrest cushion. The seat support structure includes a pair of supports connecting the top backrest portion and the bottom seating portion to one another to form the modular seating assembly. The bottom seating portion includes a seat apex section including the second backrest cushion, and a seat base section on which the seat apex section is disposed when the bottom seating portion is in a closed position. The seat apex section is configured to rotate away from the seat base section when the bottom seating portion is in an open position. The modular seating assembly includes a storage region formed within the bottom seating portion of the modular seating assembly.

An apparatus and methods according to the present invention provides a human powered catamaran-styled watercraft and methods of configuring and operating the watercraft. The watercraft generally comprises at least one hull in communication with a folding collapsible frame, wherein in the frame comprises a center rack pivotally joining hulls of hull sets to provide for common pivoting of the hulls during articulation of the watercraft, thereby the hulls and frame are in further communication through a at least one pivot pad which provides for slidable pivoting of the hulls during articulation of the watercraft. A method of folding and reversibly extending the watercraft to provide for optimized storage is provided. A method of operation of the watercraft to provide for articulation of the watercraft is provided.

An accessory for providing storage for a watercraft includes a base extending in a longitudinal direction having an upper side, a lower side, a front side, a rear side, a left side, and a right side and a plurality of mounting rails extending along a perimeter of the upper side of the base along the front side, the rear side, the left side, and rear side thereof. The mounting rails project from the upper side of the base thereby defining a recessed platform space therebetween.

A personal watercraft includes: a watercraft body including a hull and a deck covering an upper portion of the hull; a handle located above the deck; a straddle seat located rearward of the handle; and at least one speaker assembly located forward of the straddle seat and above the lowest point of an upper surface of the straddle seat.

A boat, having a transom, includes one or more aft-facing seats. Each aft-facing seat is positioned proximate to the transom and includes a seat bottom that is inclined at a downward angle in a direction extending from aft to fore, a seatback, a headrest, a seat support structure having at least one hidden compartment therein, and at least one pivot mechanism attached to the seatback and the headrest and configured to allow the seatback to move between a first position in which the seatback is capable of supporting the back of a person seated in the seat and a second position in which the seatback is pivoted upwardly to allow access to the compartment and the headrest to move between an upright position and a folded position. A plurality of handles may be provided for each aft-facing seat, with one at an outboard side and another at an inboard side.

A personal watercraft includes: a watercraft body including a hull and a deck covering an upper portion of the hull; a light emitter supported by the watercraft body; and a protection cover covering the light emitter and permeable to light emitted by the light emitter, wherein the watercraft body includes a flow-regulating structure, and the flow-regulating structure includes: a fluid inlet through which an external fluid enters the watercraft body; and an upper flow-regulating wall and a lower flow-regulating wall that are opposed to each other in an up-down direction, the upper and lower flow-regulating walls being located between the fluid inlet and the protection cover to regulate flow of the fluid entering the watercraft body through the fluid inlet and moving toward the protection cover.

The invention relates to a platform arrangement (110) mounted to a stern portion of a marine vessel (100). The platform arrangement comprises at least one first platform section (111) with a first transverse pivot joint (113) mounted adjacent a transom (105); at least one propulsion unit (101) mounted to a lower surface of the first platform section (111), wherein the at least one propulsion unit (101) and its first platform section (111) are tiltable between a drive position and an upwards tilted position. A second platform section (112) is located in front of the at least one first platform section (111), which second platform section (112) has a second transverse pivot joint (114) mounted adjoining the first transverse pivot joint (113) of a corresponding first platform section (111). The first and second platform sections (112) are foldable relative to each other about their respective first and second pivot joints (113; 114). The invention further relates to a vessel comprising the platform arrangement.

The present invention relates to an improved fishing seat designed to be used on a boat. The fishing seat is configured to be attached to an interior of a boat, and in one potential embodiment to a shelf/inwale of the boat. The fishing seat features a substantially rectangular backplate that is attached to the shelf and is designed to laterally move along the shelf, thereby enabling the fishing seat to lock into a desired position at any forward, amidships or aft position. A seating platform extending orthogonally from the backplate (and accessible from three sides), is used for sitting by a user for an activity such as fishing. The fishing seat can be generally folded flat when not in use to save space. A supporting plate hingedly connects a base of the backplate and a bottom surface of the seating platform.
