This inflatable boat kit comes with everything you need to take it to the lake or store it in the garage in case of emergency. If you plan to use it regularly, I recommend getting an electric pump. the hand pump that comes with it works, but take a while. With a pocket sized electric pump, I inflated the boat in 2-3 minutes. The paddles are okay, light weight and they float. Five large adults would be a tight fit but doable for short trips. Ideally, 3-4 adults or a family of 5 would fit comfortably. I do wish it came with a large bag to keep everything in one place. Overall, it's a decent boat for the price and appears to be think enough to last more than one summer.
