The Gumotex Scout presents itself as a robust inflatable canoe, designed in the traditional Canadian style to accommodate up to three adults. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced paddler, the Scout is well-suited for a variety of water environments, including flat water, estuaries, coastal paddling, and even white-water adventures.
Characterized by its durable and forgiving design, the Gumotex Scout mirrors the style of a Canadian canoe. Boasting a substantial weight capacity and featuring three rigid seats, it provides ample space for occupants and their gear. The combination of rigid seating and the sturdy construction of the Scout results in a notably stiff shape when inflated, contributing to its excellent paddling performance and well-balanced ride.
Crafted from Gumotex's patented NITRILON® material, the Scout ensures durability and resilience. Comprising high-strength PES fiber with an outer layer of synthetic rubber and an inner layer of a mixture based on natural rubber, this material is highly resistant to abrasion, aging, and UV exposure.

The Gumotex Scout comes with two wooden seat boards (with T-struts) and thigh straps with safety clips included. Additionally, you receive a repair kit for minor damages, a valve key, a sponge for cleaning, and a waterproof transport bag with a capacity of 135 liters. This allows you to conveniently store, maintain, and, of course, use your Gumotex Scout on the water.
For the Gumotex Scout, in addition to classic accessories like paddles, pump, or life jacket, we also recommend a pressure gauge for measuring the operating pressure. This ensures that you inflate your Gumotex Scout properly and safely. The Gumotex Scout can be easily maneuvered solo with a double paddle, and we're happy to assist you in selecting the perfect paddle. If you plan to paddle the Gumotex Scout with three people, we offer an additional seat bench as well.
The Gumotex Scout can be easily set up in just a few minutes with a good air pump. Before inflation, you attach the seats to the canoe using the screws and nuts provided. You can also attach the T-struts under the seats to provide the boat with more rigidity. The Gumotex Scout consists of 3 air chambers (one floor and two side chambers), all equipped with easy-to-use push-push valves. These are all inflated to 0.2 bar.
The Gumotex Scout can be paddled solo (with a double paddle) or with up to three people. When paddling with two people, the Scout provides ample legroom and storage space for multi-day trips. With three people, space is a bit more restricted, but you still won't bump into the person in front. To achieve this, you can mount the three seats on your Gumotex Scout as far apart as possible (the third seat must be purchased separately). This setup allows you to use the Gumotex Scout comfortably with a child as well.
