ABSTRACT:
A collapsible watercraft for personal recreation. The collapsible watercraft includes a tubular frame that has a first portion and a second portion. Each of the portions are generally rectangular and are hingably coupled together allowing them to be folded one portion on top of the other. Two sets of pairs of floatation members are hingably mounted to the frame and are positionable between being adjacent the outer side of the frame for use, and adjacent the inner side of the frame for storage or transit. A human-powered oscillation of a fin member propels the craft. The fin member also serves as a rudder for steering. A foldable seat with a backrest along with a cargo net behind the seat is provided. A canopy is mountable to the frame for protection of the user from the elements.
