Foldable Rowboats

'Maarno' Created an Easily Portable Boat for Aquatic Enjoyment

— April 20, 2014 — Lifestyle
If you have always wanted to own a boat, but couldn't because it was either too pricey or you didn't have an automotive to support its transportation, then you would love this portable boat concept by Marrno. The 'Folding Rowboat' is the best way to venture the waters and is completely hassle-free.

The recreationally minded who are restricted from owning a boat would be able to carry the boat by hand. And for those who have to endure a day-long process of gearing up your boat, you no-longer have to waste your time. The rowboat is built from a single sheet of plastic and easily folds down to 5x3 ft alongside cushions and paddles. It also fits two people comfortably.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Boating - The trend of portable boats allows for recreational aquatic activities to be more accessible and convenient, opening up opportunities for easy-to-transport and affordable boat designs.
2. Foldable Technology - Foldable technology is becoming increasingly popular in various industries, and the use of this innovation in the creation of boats can lead to improved storage and portability features.
3. Minimalistic Design - Minimalistic boat design is becoming more popular in the boating industry, allowing for affordable and easily-stored boat options that prioritize simplicity and functionality.
Industry Implications
1. Recreational Equipment - Companies in the recreational equipment industry can benefit from incorporating foldable and portable boat designs into their product lines to cater to the growing demand for easily transportable equipment.
2. Eco-friendly Products - The creation of boats constructed from single sheet plastic can provide opportunities for eco-friendly companies to introduce alternative designs that use sustainable materials while still prioritizing portability and functionality.
3. Travel and Tourism - In the travel and tourism industry, companies can utilize the trend of portable boats to offer unique aquatic experiences for tourists, such as renting out easily-transportable boats for those who want to explore waterways in their destination of choice.
