  • Durability and Stability
Style: 2-Person
I purchased the K-2 model as I weigh just over 200 pounds, have long legs and wanted to have the ability to carry gear and my 15 pound Havanese dog. I did purchase an inexpensive yoga mat with mine as an added comfort for my dog along with some extra protection from claws. I also purchased a PFD and a longer paddle with drip reducing blades with a notch that facilitates that and doubles as a grappling hook. The paddles that come with it are decent enough but could've had a longer shaft. The shortness of the included paddles were a little awkward for me to make decent strokes at an efficient depth through the water due in part to the width of the sides of the kayak. I didn't like the shaft rubbing the sides of the kayak. I'm hoping the extra length of the replacement paddle allays my concerns and improves performance maneuvering through the water especially in windy conditions. PROS: It maneuvered amazingly well for an inexpensive watercraft and the added skeg makes tracking markedly better. My floating partner's watercraft does not have a skeg, and I could see her struggling more to keep it on course. We encountered a couple riffles that it handled very well. My 15 pound dog rode on the bow most of the trip and this didn't adversely affect its handling. I'm very pleased with its stability. It at no time felt "tippy" and for me as a first timer on a kayak, this was huge. CONS: no handles to assist in carrying, making it difficult for one person to carry, no cup holders and no drain plug to remove water when getting out of water and stowing. There's also a place under the bow to tie a rope to, however you'll need to purchase the rope, as it's not included. I had to deflate it partially (the screw out deflation part of plug can be extremely difficult to unscrew, next time I'm packing channel locks!) to fold in half, holding bow and stern ends up so water that collected (and it will, as the sides of this kayak is barely a foot above the water line, when you're going through moderate yet mild rapids and water splashes in over the sides. Bring something for baling water, incase you get swamped. Even with 6" of water where I was seated in the rear, this kayak maneuvered very well.) could run out towards middle, then wiped it out with a towel. I hope these cons are addressed in future models. ... show more

  • Great product and value
Style: 2-Person
Love it!!! I bought a few, two person and Single. After several years of using them every summer we have had no issues at all!! Have used them in fresh water lakes as well as the ocean. Not so great for the ocean but works. What a great product!

  • Works great for so many uses. Mine lasted 1.5 years
Style: 2-Person
I purchased this a few months ago as a means to easily get to my moored sailboat in the harbor. It is heavy duty enough to take light brushings with barnacles on the pilings but light enough for me to carry easily. It comes in a box with a bag, two collapse-able paddles, two seats and a small pump and an additional inflatable nose so it will hold it's shape. The pump that came with it was a little small so I replaced it with a larger capacity pump from the same manufacturer and it blows up super quick (<2 min) and still fits in the bag with the deflated kayak and paddles. The bag is made of light material but has still held up well. As long as you don't treat it like the you're packing a sausage you'll be fine. From the trunk of my car to the water takes about 4 minutes but takes about twice that to go from the water to the trunk mostly due to the location of the valves. I was actually impressed with the quality being better than I expected. The seats are not as useful for me because I don't always have another passenger but do usually have cargo that I move around for better weight distribution. I find it's easier and more stable to sit on my ankles and paddle. I have had the kayak over capacity (two adults combined weight around 420lbs) and the kayak was a little unstable but still manageable for short distances on quiet water (not recommended though). The longevity of the vinyl is the only downside. With moderate usage the kayak will wear out, I have several large scratches on mine from pilings and such. I would estimate I have another year or two of usage. Summary: It's super portable, easy to set up, comfortable, and tracks very well for an inflatable. Buy it, enjoy it, but manage your expectations on longevity...if you want something that will last 25 years buy a hard plastic kayak. If you want something that is portable, doesn't require racks, a truck or trailer to use, and is easily secured, buy this. UPDATE: Well it's been over a year and this thing is still in service. It has a bubble in the side where I can only guess the vinyl has gotten weak in the sunlight and heat because it's only on the dark grey section but still performs great. Most of the time I still forego the seats, preferring to kneel and paddle so I can't comment too much on the seats besides they were always kind of awkward to use for me. FINAL UPDATE: My trusted kayak has finally transitioned to the next stage of it's life. While inflating the first set of air bladders it developed a catastrophic seam separation. I have re-purposed the paddles but unfortunately the kayak itself is gone. So, all in all it has lasted about a year and a half and used 40-50x's. I still believe it was a good purchase just for the convenience factor...with that said, I'm not rushing to order another one either though. ... show more

  • Better than the single person version, absolutely love the portability!!
Style: 2-Person
I've been buying these boats for the last several years with my first purchase a year before the pandemic. We are a six person family and trying to get into kayaking otherwise would have involved getting a hitch, carrier and much more expensive boats. We initially got the single person, and ever since have gotten the two person versions and are currently at 4 doubles and a single and all of them still work. A jeep ran over one of our doubles directly over the valve and despite damage to the valve, it still is inflatable and our last float we kept a pump with it and tried to find the leak. The damage is in the top air chamber so it still has no change of sinking, so we're hopeful that the boat will keep going. These have slid over gravel, hit rocks and branches, been dragged along concrete ramps (until I yelled!) and otherwise have seemed to take a decent beating and keep on floating. Oh... and I can fit all of them in the back of my Prius with 5 passengers... For comfort, we find that our 5'6"-6'3" family prefers each having a double kayak to themselves. However, we've also found that we can fit two adults in each relatively comfortably and an adult with a child easily. The two person kayaks are easier to get back into and more stable in the water, they hold a line better and are still only slightly less manueverable. An adult in a two person has slightly less draft and our river is shallow, so we appreciate the extra inch. But whatever you do...don't forget the keel! Without the keel, they handle like you are rowing a giant balloon across the water and its exhausting! ... show more

  • Great fun for apartment dwellers
Style: 2-Person
Yes, we love this blow up Kayak. It's sturdy and fun. Yes it can pop if you hit something sharp but we are just puttering around on a lake. Nothing crazy. We live in an apartment so as you may have guessed it is easy to store. We bought an electric pump because we're old and pumping up a kayak hurts. With a good electric pump this thing is inflated in less than 5 minutes. However the hand pump works remarkably well. The paddles are nothing special but, again, if you just want to quietly careen with nature who cares. We can have this thing deflated, disassembled and in the car in 5 minutes which is a good thing at the launch site where "professional" boaters who are impatient about us no-pro boaters won't throw their little tizzy fits about boat launching efficiency. I believe we all know the type. When everything is stowed in the bag it doesn't weigh a ton, so it's easy to carry around. Like anything inflatable leaks will occur. So far nothing to report. If a leak happens, be an adult, find it and fix it. It does come with a small path kit. There are 10 cm measurement indicators to help guide you into not over inflating. It uses Boston valves which took me some time to figure out because i'm a man and I don't read directions, too late to change that habit. Plenty of YouTube vids to explain how they work. I do recommend buying a heavy duty tarp when filling this on any surface. It just makes sense to have a layer of protection when setting this up. It's worth the $10 dollars. Looking forward to more fun this summer. Excellent exercise for those of us with chronic pain issues. ... show more

  • Fun while it lasted…
Style: 2-Person
I hate to leave such a low rating because it was so much fun to use. However, shortly after inflating it today, one of the interior seams split open and the floor/bottom chamber deflated instantly. The split is more than a foot long… Luckily it didn’t happen on the water; it would have been really scary given how quickly it happened. This was probably the eight time I had inflated it, and I was using the included hand pump. I previously had it on the water for about 20 hours total I would guess. It was super fun to use prior to this! Worked great on the river and I had no issues getting it set up and packed away. I only got it a few months ago, so my use was probably more frequent than the average buyer, but I’m sure the lifespan is supposed to be longer than this. ... show more

  • and this held up beautifully! It took 5 minutes to blow up with ...
Style: 2-Person
I received this last Wednesday and took it to a lake in northern Maine for a 5 day trip. I fished, and fished and fished and fished. I had my 60 lb dog with me, and this held up beautifully! It took 5 minutes to blow up with the Intex quick fill electric air pump (ordered separately.) I only used the included pump to top in off on a super cold morning. After blowing it up at the car, I walked it about 100 yards to the shore of the lake and used it. It was PHENOMENAL!!! I love this kayak! LOVE IT! I love the bright colors. I love how easy it was to blow up. The paddling isn't as efficient as a hard side kayak, but I traveled in a Chevy Cruze. This fit so easily in the trunk along with other gear for 2 plus a dog for nearly a week. I didn't use the included paddles, so I can't rate them. I loved that I was able to sit so comfortably. There was plenty of space behind the seat and in the front to stow gear/lunch/camera... The seat kept my butt relatively dry, but not completely if I squirmed or reached while fishing. I could sit with my legs totally extended (great for the tan!) or cross legged. There was plenty of room for my dog and she was comfy as well, I imagine she felt like she was spending her days on an air mattress. She's never been on any type of personal watercraft before, and it was stable enough she was comfortable after a few minutes. There were rocks and downed trees (as you would expect along a northern lake) and I had no worries about a puncture. I would totally recommend this to ANYONE! If it goes on sale for Black Friday, I will definitely fill out my Christmas list with a bunch of these hahahaha. My son (6' 180 lbs) was with me, and he also used it with the dog. He and I did not use it together. While at the lake, we had the option of hard side kayaks, a few canoes and this inflatable kayak. Without fail, this was the first choice of anyone there. It was easy to get into either directly from the water standing- I wouldn't want to mess around with it over waist high, but I wouldn't want to mess with a hard kayak over waist high either. From the dock was insanely easy. I just love this thing! ... show more

  • Easy and fun to use, but less stable.
Style: 2-Person
Easy to set up and use, but giving it only 3 stars because compared to the other inflatable kayak model from INTEX this one seems to lack lateral support. Its more flat bottom seems to actually require less force to propel forward, but this comes at the expense of directional and lateral stability. On my unit (probably defective) the finn attachment was glued reversed, which still helps keeping it sailing straight, but acts as a hook when passing over floating barriers or underwater vegetation. Still a good value for the pure recreational value in the odd day on the beach. ... show more
