I see no more diffuculty with the yak than my Novurania inflatable which BTW is not an RIB and can accept engines to 50 horsepower and has landing gear. I can roll it up or carry it on a trailer. The inflatible is more capable of going long distances, the yak is more fun, bot h are not especially diffucult to get into.
The Novurania puchased about 1984, t is not a "raft" or an RIB, it is a high performance inflatable:
My OK Scupper Pro, fast and seaworthy:
Someday I will scan the hundreds of 35MM slides I have from our adventures aboard the Novurania including having a shark get in the boat with us and eat the ice chest while we got out. I then later had to "coax" him out. In any case inflatables are not toys, ours is Dupont Hypolon/nylon core and puncturing it is about like pucturing a tire--it can be done but not easily, not even by a shark.
