The present invention relates to a portable boat with catamaran configuration. The boat basically consists of two inflatable floats joined by two connecting bars with plates at their ends for fastening the connecting bars to the floats. A rigid platform can be assembled between the two connecting bars, forming a deck for the occupant. The present invention allows the occupant to remain standing on the rigid platform while using a paddle to propel the boat. The lateral floats provide greater stability, making it easier for the occupant to keep his balance. Removable fins can be mounted on the rear underside of each float to help keep a straight path and improve performance (decreasing zigzags, and allowing a greater number of paddle strokes before having to change sides). The boat exhibits high hydrodynamic efficiency and can be disassembled so as to occupy a small volume, making it easy to transport and store.
