I am looking for an inflatable to do some cove hopping in Cornwall to extend my camping repotoire, as a complete noobie can you reccomend one that doesnt cost the earth but fulfills my requirements.
PS for 2 people

Sorry to pee on your chips, but an inexperianced paddler, inflatable kayak on the Cornish coast, bay to bay
Inflatables are only suitable for carm flat water, find yourself some nice inlets without much tidal pull and have some fun there, don't risk the sea.
Sorry just my opinion.

As I've told my psychiatrist, you can't have too many tents.

I agree we only use ours on sheltered coves or lakes. Paddled across a bay few weeks back with 1 foot swell and lightish wind and it was really hard work, was overtaken by a proper sea kayak with ease.

I agree with James, we have a sevylor and have only used it in calm waters (lakes and canals), it gets blown easily off course and is hard to control compared to a hard shelled proper one. I have a friend that has been out at sea, but only in very calm water.
I am surfing in Cornwall this summer at Bude and knowing these waters, I would be very careful.

I agree totally RAF . Inflatable sheltered bay or cove  Inflatable and open sea real real trouble . Unless you know the sea were your going ? There's hiden dangers especially round headlands even on a calm day . The tide changes and what was flat calm is 6ft waves taking you in the wrong direction ! I'm not saying don't do it just be very carefull and take advice from people that know the area
