ALDI is selling popular inflatable boats and a kayak for just £40 each.
The blow-up water vessels sold out fast when they went on sale last year, but they will be back again and available to buy from Aldi this Sunday.

The store has announced the return of the water-sport favourites as Brits gear up for summer staycations – the perfect chance to take one for a spin on the local lake or at the beach.
The Crane Inflatable Kayak and Crane Inflatable Boat which comes in a family size and sport size, will all be available in Aldi’s Specialbuy section online from Sunday.
They’ll be available to buy in-store a week later from July 11.
Aldi releases new Specialbuys each Thursday and Sunday so there are always new oportunities to bag a bargain.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
They are the same price as they were last year so if you missed out you’ll be able to cash in this time around instead.
The kayak can fit two adults and comes with a double paddle, and a waterproof storage bag.
Meanwhile the family size boat will fit three people and it’s saltwater resistant too.
The sport size boat will only fit two adults and a child though, so there’s a little less room in the alternative design.

The boats also come with their own paddles and are designed to be quick to deflate too.
Also included with all the new inflatables, is a repair kit so you’ll be able to use the bargain buys all summer long without having to worry about replacing them.
Delivery is free for each of the products, as your order will go over the £30 minimum spend to qualify but it could take up to five days to reach your front door.
You can use Aldi’s locator tool to find your closest store as well, to pick up the products in person, but you won’t be able to do so until July 11.
Each inflatable will be subject to availablity, and at the low prices you’ll want to be quick as they’re predicted to sell out quickly again.
As always though, it’s best to shop around before you commit to a purchase, you never know which stores might have a better offer available.
You can buy a Bestway inflatable boat from Camping World for only £20 which makes it half the price of Aldi’s boat, but it will only fit one person for the low price.
It includes all the same extra’s though like a repair kit and it’s easy to inflate.
But oars aren’t included like they are in Aldi’s, so you will have to buy those separate, plus you’ll have to pay another £4 for shipping on top.
For a little bit of extra room you can get a two person dingy from Argos for £50, but it’s £10 more than Aldi’s and still smaller in size than the discount retailer’s.
There aren’t any cheaper kayaks that you can buy, but we found an inflatable kayak from Amazon for £70, making it £30 more expensive than Aldi’s.
Two people will be able to fit in the kayak and it come with a foot pump to make it easy for you to inflate.
At The Range the cheapest you can buy an inflatable kayak for is £90 which is more than double the price of Aldi’s and £50 more expensive.
It fits two people and has an aluminium paddle inlcuded, plus it has a fast inflation and deflation valve for a quick set up and pack away.
