Overview & On-Water Performance

The Gumotex Seawave inflatable kayak has been one of Europe’s most popular models for years – and for good reason. It offers an exceptional combination of stability, speed, and versatility.

Whether paddled solo, tandem, or with a child as a three-seater, the Seawave impresses with excellent tracking and smooth performance on both lakes and calm rivers.

Use Cases & Handling

The Seawave is a true all-rounder for recreational and touring paddlers. With its length of 455 cm, it tracks very well and glides efficiently, making it ideal for long day or multi-day trips.

Its solid stability and dry ride provide beginners with a safe and comfortable experience. The Seawave performs best on lakes, wide rivers, and coastal waters, while its length makes it less suitable for very narrow creeks.

Setup, Comfort & Features

The Seawave inflates within minutes and can be configured to your needs. With the optional cockpits, it can be converted into a closed single- or double-seater – perfect for wind, rain, or colder temperatures.

For the best tracking performance, we recommend the rudder system, especially for touring on open water. The adjustable seats and footrests provide excellent comfort even on longer paddling trips.

Material & Build Quality

Like all Gumotex boats, the Seawave is made from NITRILON® – a durable, robust material that is UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and easy to clean.

This proven material has been used for many years and is far more environmentally friendly than most PVC alternatives. It dries quickly and packs compactly into its transport bag – perfect for travel and touring.

Model Update & Conclusion

The latest model update was introduced in 2021: the boat itself remained unchanged, but the cockpit received an improved coaming.

Since its launch, the Gumotex Seawave has only seen minor adjustments – the proven design remains the same.

If you’re looking for a versatile inflatable kayak for 1–3 paddlers that will delight both beginners and experienced paddlers alike, the Gumotex Seawave is the perfect choice.

Gumotex Seawave – Questions & Answers

What accessories are included with the Gumotex Seawave?

The standard package of the Gumotex Seawave already includes everything you need to get out on the water right away. The accessories include two seats and two adjustable footrests for comfortable paddling.

The supplied fin provides noticeably better tracking and makes it easier to maintain direction, especially on open water. Also included are a repair kit for minor damage, a valve wrench, a sponge for cleaning, and a durable 100 L transport bag in which the Seawave can be packed away compactly.

With all this, your Gumotex Seawave is ready to use straight out of the box.

Which additional accessories are recommended for the Gumotex Seawave?

There are several useful accessories available for the Gumotex Seawave that allow you to tailor the kayak perfectly to your needs.

Highly recommended is the solo or double cockpit cover, which transforms the open kayak into a closed deck – ideal for windy conditions, splashing water, or cooler temperatures.

The Seawave reaches its full potential with the optional rudder system, which makes steering and manoeuvring noticeably easier and ensures excellent tracking performance.

In addition to the essential gear such as paddles, pump, and life jacket, a canoe trolley is also a worthwhile addition for transporting the Seawave comfortably to and from the water.

How long does it take to set up the Gumotex Seawave?

The setup time for the Gumotex Seawave is only around 8 to 10 minutes once you get used to it.

The kayak consists of three separate air chambers – one floor chamber and two side chambers – each equipped with easy-to-use Push-Push valves. All three chambers are inflated evenly to an operating pressure of 0.25 bar.

Important: The fin should be attached before inflating. It simply slides into the fitting on the underside of the kayak and later provides excellent tracking performance.

With a good hand or foot pump, the Seawave is ready to launch in just a few minutes – and with a bit of practice, setup becomes even quicker.

How many people can the Gumotex Seawave accommodate, and what is the seating configuration?

The Gumotex Seawave is a versatile inflatable kayak for up to three paddlers and can be easily configured as a one-, two-, or three-seater.

When paddled solo, the Seawave offers plenty of space for gear – ideal for longer tours or expeditions with camping equipment. With two paddlers, there’s still ample storage for day or weekend trips, and the kayak remains stable and tracks well on the water.

With three people, space naturally becomes tighter, but it’s perfect for short outings with a child or a lightweight third passenger. A third seat is required for this setup and is available separately.

Thanks to its flexible seating configuration, the Seawave can be perfectly adapted to any use – from relaxed solo paddles to family adventures.

What types of water and paddling conditions is the Gumotex Seawave suitable for?

The Gumotex Seawave is a true all-round kayak, suitable for a wide range of waters. On lakes and calm rivers, it offers excellent glide and a high level of comfort – perfect for day trips or multi-day tours.

Thanks to its length and strong tracking, the Seawave also performs safely on coastal waters and in light waves. With some paddling experience, even light whitewater (up to Class II) is possible. However, for very narrow creeks or small rivers, the kayak is a bit too long, which limits manoeuvrability.

This makes the Seawave an excellent choice for recreational and touring paddlers looking for a versatile boat for lakes, rivers, and coastal areas.

How durable and hard-wearing is the Gumotex Seawave?

The Gumotex Seawave is among the most durable inflatable kayaks on the market. It is made from proven NITRILON® material – a multi-layer fabric coated with rubber that is UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and tear-proof.

Compared to conventional PVC boats, NITRILON® is significantly more resistant to stones, branches, and rough shorelines. At the same time, the material remains flexible and easy to repair should any damage occur.

Thanks to its high-quality construction, welded seams, and robust valve system, the Seawave is built for many years of intensive use – whether on rivers, lakes, or coastal waters.

With proper care – such as rinsing with fresh water and storing it out of direct sunlight – the material stays soft, airtight, and visually appealing for many years. Many Seawave owners still use their boats regularly even after more than a decade.

How can the Gumotex Seawave be transported and stored?

The Gumotex Seawave is easy to transport thanks to its compact packed size of around 68 × 43 × 30 cm and its low weight of only 17.5 kg. The included 100 L transport bag offers enough space for the folded kayak and all essential accessories. With the backpack straps, the boat can be comfortably carried short distances on foot or from the car to the water – perfect for camping, train journeys, or travelling by motorhome.

When packing it away, simply rinse the kayak after paddling, let it dry, and fold it loosely. The NITRILON® material remains flexible and keeps its shape even after frequent packing and unpacking.

This makes the Seawave easy to store while taking up little space – always ready for your next adventure, whether at home, in your camper, or at the boathouse.
