A one-person boat is a small vessel designed for a single occupant. The two most common types of one-person boats are skiffs and kayaks. Skiffs are typically flat-bottomed boats with a shallow draft, making them ideal for use in shallow waters. Kayaks are typically narrow, pointed vessels that are propelled by a double-bladed paddle. Both skiffs and kayaks are popular among recreational boaters due to their maneuverability and portability.
