My sons are aged 8 and 4 and they have loved this toy. I really like Playmobil because of the level of attention to detail that's put into the design. This boat was easy to put together (more so than other Playmobil toys we've had) and is very robust (it even goes in the bath!).
This set comes with four people, life jackets, an inflatable mattress, even food and plates and cutlery (which pack away under the beds when the boat is out on the water). There is a tiny sink with a tap and even a toilet with a lid that raises and lowers. There are four beds.

That leaves the paddling pool in our park which isn't the best place to get your playmobil stuff out. The majority of the time it is played with on land. That leads to the next problem (both on land and sea) that the playmobil people don't ... Read More:
