It could be, but I wouldn't recommend it. The inflatables aren't renowned for tracking well. When you're providing most of the locomotion (versus the river) that really makes a big difference with your satisfaction.Not only would it track poorly unless paddled by an expert but it might get blown away in a heavy wind as the gunwales are fairly high. It would probably be OK within a lagoon.
