Hi Jesse,
For years we used a pool toy dinghy a Sevylor Super Caravelle 3 person 
(it barely fit 2). It worked satisfactorily but we nicknamed it Comic 
Relief because that's what rowing it felt like - but it did get us to 
shore and back. For the price we figured we could buy one a year and 
come out ahead. It got light use (two or three times a season) but we 
only ever bought one and used it for at least 10 years. It had the 
advantage of inflating quickly and easily and stowing in a rubbermaid 
container under the cockpit seats.

We now have Advanced Elements inflatable kayaks. We sometimes use them 
on the boat (a pocket trawler) but mostly they are our everyday kayaks 
and we take them with us in the travel trailer. They are slower than 
hard kayaks but they are maneuverable and of course very bouyant. They 
handle waves well but not wind. They are very lightweight and easy to 
inflate. They are a bit trickier to get in and out of from a boat than a 
regular dinghy. Ours are singles but they do make a tandem.

We bought ours from West Marine and on sale they were quite reasonable.

Hope this is helpful.
