A collapsible boat is a small, lightweight container that folds flat to allow for convenient storage and transportation. This type of boat is typically purchased by those who do not have storage available for regular size boats and/or just use a boat occasionally. The length of most collapsible boats is between 6 feet (1.8288 m) and 12 feet (3.6576 m).

Collapsible boats are not used as much as the inflatable type. An inflatable boat may be lighter and require even less storage space than a collapsible boat, but it can puncture quite easily and take time to inflate and deflate. Collapsible boats also take a while to set up and take down. Some collapsible boats are made especially for air travel, such as on regular airlines or bush planes.

If an engine is desired in a collapsible boat, anything over 10 horsepower (HP) is generally not recommended as these boats are small and light. Many folding boats require only a 2 HP motor. Collapsible boats often fold flat and some can be slipped under the arm and carried that way. A collapsible boat may come with a carry case, while other types of collapsible boats may require a two-wheel mini trailer lift.

A collapsible boat may feature boards that are fitted to the bottom of the boat to add stability. Many different lightweight materials like marine grade plywood, aluminum, and synthetic materials are commonly used to build collapsible boats. a fol
