An inflatable watercraft of the kayak type including a hull including: a longitudinal bottom comprising a central longitudinal edge and two lateral longitudinal sides, so as to have a V-shaped cross section, the bottom comprising at least one inflatable shell, and a stiffening upper structure comprising two lateral longitudinal inflatable shells and at least one transverse element mounted between the two lateral inflatable shells, each lateral inflatable shell being mounted on one of the lateral longitudinal sides of the longitudinal bottom,
in which each of the two lateral inflatable shells comprises two superimposed walls, each of said walls including a textile mat and being connected together by a multitude of connecting threads distributed over the entire surface of said mats while forming a structure suited to be inflated to a pressure capable of stiffening said structure.

An inflatable product includes an inflatable chamber and a supplemental layer. The supplemental layer is disposed on the inflatable chamber. Further, the supplemental layer is directly or indirectly fixed to the inflatable chamber by sewing. The inflatable chamber is made of plastic. The material of the supplemental layer is different from that of the inflatable chamber.

A double-chambers inflatable kayak, including an upper chamber and a lower chamber which are fixedly connected to each other by a connecting portion and between which a cavity is formed, wherein the upper chamber includes a cockpit hole and a first air valve provided on the surface, the cockpit hole being in communication with the cavity, and the first air valve being used to inflate and deflate the upper chamber, and wherein the lower chamber includes a second air valve which is used to inflate and deflate the lower chamber.
