Implementations of an inflatable raft that has a figure-eight shape are provided. The figure-eight shape serves to stabilize the inflatable raft and allows it to be paddled and maneuvered by a single paddler. An example inflatable raft may include a figure-eight shaped buoyant member comprised of a plurality of tube-sections. The plurality of tube-sections are connected together end-to-end to form a front lobe, a rear lobe, and a narrow central section, the narrow central section connects the front lobe to the rear lobe. The inflatable raft also includes a floor that is connected to the underside of the figure-eight shaped buoyant member. The plurality of tube sections that form the front lobe, the rear lobe, and the narrow central section are positioned to define a compartment of some depth between them, the floor acts as a bottom for the compartment.
