A foldable boat is made with a seamless low stress hull that is formed from a one piece mold. The boat is assembled with membranes at the bow, stern and sides to seal the boat from water and to enable easy folding. The bow and stern membranes also serve to keep the sides from folding out. A hinged bottom and a hinged side-to-bottom section afford ease of folding and provide substantial resistance to bending after assembly of the boat. Bow and stern boards, side boards and seat boards provide rigidity, reduced slack and act as supports for the boat sections. The boat includes a railing that is locked to the sides and side boards so that migration of the side boards is prevented.
