Canal Bandit – Family Boat Fun

It was another amazing Brisbane day with fabulous sunshine and the water was beckoning to us. It didn’t take much for my children to convince me to get our inflatable boat out and make a day of it on the water.

We took our Gemini Canal Bandit down to the water and my seven year old took first go driving and thinking my weight would slow things down a bit I decided to be ballast in the front. Our Gemini is powered by a Mercury 6hp so imagine my shock when we took off like a rocket with instantaneous acceleration and complete safety. My Son was thrilled of course.

It is a parents greatest joy to see their children pierce the air with their shrieks of laughter and obvious joy and all of us bonding in such a treasured way. This all as a result of one little inflatable boat and some family time. Hours of safe fun and enjoyment for an entire family. Eventually my 11 year old son booted me off the Canal Bandit and procceded to whiz back and forth with his brother both smiling and laughing and having an absolute blast.

I stood and watched them having fun jumping the wake of other boats, doing circuits and safely hooning around. After some time I tried to get them off the water. With eyes red and bleary they refused. It was only when the tank was dry that they agreed enough was enough.

What a great little fun boat the Canal Bandit it . It has fabulous qualities such as it’s small and compact it stores on its side in the garage. Not an expensive toy as it does not need a trailer. The Gemini is easy to handle and light. What good value when I consider how much joy it gives my kids and the skills it teaches them. It has been fabulous to see how they have reacted to accepting responsibility and amazing how much it has helped develop my sons co-ordination. Thank you to our Gemini.
