Question

Is a kayak considered a boat?

Answer 1

if a canoeisconsidered a boat then yeas because a kayak is more cloely realted to a canoe then a boat.

Answer 2

General category is boat.  Specific item is Kayak.  Canoe, Dinghy, rowboat, raft, cataraft, etc etc etc.

Answer 3

I don't consider it a boat; it's a small watercraft.  To me, a boat not only floats on the water, but also has the room for multiple people to walk around.  If a kayak is a boat, then a jet-ski is a boat as well?  I don't think so.

Answer 4

Yes.  Anything that is man made and floats is a boat from a toy on up.

Answer 5

Yes, a kayak is a small human-powered boat.

And to the guy above me, a jet-ski is considered a boat as well, believe it or not.  A boat is something that floats on water and can be propelled and navigated. Thus a jet-ski is a boat, but a duck is not. Nor a turtle. I wonder if a dolphin would count though... or Keiko.

Answer 6

Yes.
