Great product. I purchased toward the end of summer for $94. So the the price does fluctuate with the season. Took me about 20min in set up the 1st time. About 15min for subsequent attempts. I've taken it out 3-4 times in the last 2 months. Collapses down small enough to fit in the trunk of a small car. The paddles work, but I felt were on the small side for me. This kayak is somewhat wide also. I ended up getting a 96inch paddle but i'm 5'10''. My 5 yr old daughter does ok with it. When I stretch out my legs, I have to tuck my feet to the sides of the front seat. The skin of the boat is reasonably strong. You'd have to scrape against some jagged metal or be hit head on by a hard pointy branch for this to puncture. For the boating itself, this craft is ok. It doesn't seem as smooth or can go as fast as a hard plastic boat. But that's fine considering it's $100-200 less. I even took it through some mild rapids (still choppy enough to splash me good) and it held up fine. The fin/skeg works fine and is easy to install but requires decent hand strength to remove (a good thing). It basically clicks in place and you have to push a tab down to remove it. I drilled a hole and put a fishing line through it in case the skeg falls off as suggested by others, but this is unnecessary. I even started heading away from shore once and the skeg, and only the skeg, hit an underwater boulder. I was going about 3mph when it hit and came to a dead stop, all 200+ lbs of the boat and people. The skeg edge was a little scratched but in place at the end. Maybe Intex updated the skeg after it 1st came out. I'm going to remove the fishing line before the next trip because it is unnecessary and gets seaweed,etc caught in it creating more drag. If you were to give me the choice (price not an issue) b/w a hard plastic boat and this, I'd pick the hard boat. That said, I'm very happy with this very inexpensive and easy to transport kayak.

My wife and I each have 17.5' Perception sea kayaks. We paddle a fair amount and they are great. But if you're not planning for strictly a paddle trip, big boats are kind of annoying to drive around with. Enter inflatables. We recently did a two week Baja trip and wanted the ability to paddle without the hassle of two large sea kayaks on the roof while driving dirt roads for hundreds of miles. Reading other reviews (and contrasting with the price) we figured this was worth a shot. So...this boat is a winner. We took it out several times on the Sea of Cortez. It handles swells surprisingly well, but don't expect to take on big rollers. It's a very stable boat; you can stand in it in flat water conditions. Pretty great for fishing, cruising, and day paddles. Overall, our experience was pretty great; I'm happy with the purchase. Note that it's a day cruiser, NOT a sea kayak...it has some drag, but it will get you there. The skeg stay attached reasonably well and is very needed if windy or in a current. As other reviewers suggested, a leash is probably a good idea for it. It easily has room for two people and day-paddling stuff (we're 5'11" and 5'6" and in good shape, typically bringing snacks, water, sun screen, camera/phone, hiking bags, bilge pump, boat pump, and some warm clothes just in case). You could probably do two people and an overnight's worth of stuff, but it will be pretty tightly packed. The paddles that come with it are adequate, but if you have quality paddles, bring them instead. Follow the inflation order on the boat (the ports are numbered 1, 2, 3, etc). The pump that comes with it makes short work of the inflating process. As other reviewers have mentioned, the floor valve should be Boston valve, like the two hulls are, but it's not. Whatever, not that big of a deal. Now the thing I didn't see mentioned a lot was packing it down and storage/transport. It'll pack down to about 30"x12"x18" (ish - and it's soft/flexible in a bag so those are only rough dimensions). Bring a rag to wipe it down with when you're done (sounds obvious, but I forgot). I found the easiest way to pack it up is to deflate in reverse order of the fill, then kinda flip the two large hull bladders to the other side of the floor. So kinda make it go inside-out, as if you wanted to make the bottom of the boat into the floor of the boat. This generally allows you to get all the air out and keep the deflate ports accessible. You can also then fold the boat (hotdog style) and start rolling it up. It'll pack down nice and small. Once packed down, the bag is a bit flimsy. I wouldn't try to hump it too far; seems like the bag is better to just store all the junk in the back of your vehicle. If you plant to hike the boat in, get a decent bag for it.

This inflatable kayak actually surpassed my expectations. I definitely like it, a lot ... just not sure that I "love it" (5 stars). Truthfully, we've only used it once but we spent the better part of a day in it. The trip down the Blackwater River is documented on our YouTube channel as .... [...] and there is another video of our campsite with footage of me blowing up the kayak .... [...] The basic material is more durable than I imagined and its overall size is well suited for two normal adults. It easily blows up with an aftermarket 12vdc air pump (must use care however not to exceed the max pressure). Underway, it was not the least bit tippy and very stable in all calm water situations. I shot video and took photos all day without any difficulty. There is a small scag or fin that is meant to be inserted in a slot at the rear bottom. Since the water was quite low where we put in, I decided to leave this fin off, thinking it would strike the bottom. Bear in mind that we are total novices and this was our first experience ever, in any kind of a kayak and I thought this to be the reason we had so much difficulty making the kayak go where we wanted it to go. Finally, I decided to insert the fin and try it. Night and day difference ... suddenly the kayak became totally manageable and with no effort we were cruising along as if we knew what we were doing. I might add that my wife and I slightly exceeded the 250 lb load rating and the kayak didn't seem to mind at all. The paddles go together easily and have comfortable grips. The PR material says that they are longer than competitors paddles of comparable sized kayaks but found us wishing that they might have been just a bit longer. We were actually able to get it folded back up in the nice nylon storage bag the way it was (something I'm not often capable of) and it stores easily behind the seat in our truck. I'm not sure what the weight is since there are no specifications of any kind in the operator's guide but I'm guessing about 40 lbs. The only area I would deem to be deficient would be for storage. Not a lot there, but then again, maybe I have unrealistic expectations seeing as how little experience I have. All in all, it was a delightful day on the river and well worth the relatively small amount of money we paid compared to other units we found in our research. We weren't sure if we would like kayaking or not and didn't want to spend a lot of money only to find out it wasn't for us. Totally great investment. We're leaving for the Keys in two days and plan on using it quite a bit next week again.

This will be my 4th summer with this kayak. I only came back to write a review after searching the description for some info. This kayak is easy to inflate, usually just takes less than 5 mins using my shop vac in reverse, or a few mins more using a battery op inflator. The seams have held up and I haven’t had any air leaks yet. The material is heavy duty, it’s not the soft plastic like they use for inflatable pools, and after 4 years I’ve not had any mold build up. We’re pretty rough with it too, my kid’s always dragging her side while helping me carry it. The seats are adjustable, I only wished that the Velcro on the floor extended longer because I like to flip the front seat around so my child can face me. I prefer to use a folding stadium seat for better back support. I’ve had 2 adults and a child once and it supported our weight total slightly over 400 pounds, but it was more difficult to row so I don’t recommend it. The kayak has potential for upgrades if you’re creative enough: I ran into someone at the lake who had built a mount for a small trolling motor. Clever idea if you’re stuck using an inflatable kayak like me due to lack of storage. I truly did not expect it to last this long, and even if it gave out this year, I feel I got my money’s worth if you consider four years’ worth of kayak rental costs.

I have had this kayak for over three years now and to be honest, have been fairly rough with it in rivers and lakes, yet it is still going strong. I have not had any issues with it. I use it for camping because of the ease of transport. The hand pump actually inflates it quicker than a battery operated one, so 10-15 minutes of pumping and I am ready to go. I have had both of my dogs in it and have not had any issues with their claws. This is a very sturdy kayak. I use it as a single seater or double interchangeably with no difference in steering or glide through the water.

This yak came as expected. I didn't think the storage bag was terrible. I've inflatable it in the living, it's a full sized kayak! I thought the seat has you elevated pretty well. You can make room for small coolers and tackle boxes. I picked up an anchor package from Bass pro and plan on taking my 8 year old boy out for fishing in the morning. I'll be back to edit this review with how it goes on the maiden voyage! *Edit Once at the lake, the inflation recommendation didn't seem to be enough. Almost too squishy. I left it a quarter inch or less over inflated and we pushed off into sahuaro lake, Az. The kayak was loaded with two lunch coolers (small), soft sided tackle box and two fishing poles sans hooks. I learned very quickly the paddles are shorter than I would like. They did however get the job done. We left butcher jones beach and headed for a tributary. I found the wind pushing through the canyon made quick work of traveling out. We anchored and set hooks. 20 minutes without so much as a tug had us anchor up and moving out the way we came. Remember that wind? It definitely made the reverse voyage a chore. Keeping the yak nose in the wind proved difficult, but not impossible. This inflatable was pushed pretty easily by the gusts, but Al's recovered easily. My son wanted to swim, in the drink he went. After floundering around, he came back in the yellow inflatable viking vessel. Half the lake came with him. My 250 pound self generated quite the indent in the bottom. As a result, I had a pleasant pocket of lake water around my seat. Buy a hand held bilge pump if you can find one. (Must have) During our 6 hours on the water, everything I brought was wet. I knew better, should have had a dry bag for my phone keys and fishing license. I beached the inflated canoe/kayak and felt like we lost some air in the seats and bottom. No big deal, it wasn't much. The seats started out strong and as I got more tired and lazy, their weaknesses were exposed. (Still good quality, just lacked lasting support). I removed the fishing gear and bags, brought the yellow hot dog bun out to deeper water and attempted to board the vessel like a pirate from the water. It held up! While I allowed at least a gallon of water in from the side buckling down, it held up well. This kayak was up for the challenge of a day on the lake fishing with an 8 year old boy and a heavy adult. For what the inflatable lacked, it made up for in it's price point and durability. The most important takeaway I intend in this review is there are things you should consider using to aid in your enjoyment of the kayak and this inflatable provided some great memories for my son and I. We observed blue heron from the water, ducks coming and going, waves to ride, swimming and fishing. If you find yourself questioning the purchase, I don't think you'll be disappointed and I highly recommend this kayak. Enjoy and be safe!

My bestie and I each ordered these kayaks last spring. We spent the summer on the lake day after day kayaking around. I love the convenience of being able to inflate and deflate quickly. We have electric pumps, but the hand pump is honestly quicker and easier. The kayaks aren't super heavy, we were easily able to carry the kayak in it's carrying bag and then tossed our paddles and life jackets in the back of her SUV. In it's bag, I am able to fit it in the trunk of my small 4 door subcompact. At the end of a day on the lake, we were able to each grab an end and pack the kayaks onto shore. There are quick-release valves to remove the air so we pulled the valve and then slowly folded and layed on the kayak to squeeze out as much air as possible. We hung the kayaks up at the end of the season to make sure they were 100% dry and then just folded them back up and put in their bag for next summer! The only negative I can think of is that The seats move around a lot when buckled in. I am a heavy woman (5'6" 230 lbs) and just need more back support while I'm out on the water all day. I had a large cooler and put my back up to that and it helped, but I will definitely be on the lookout for a new option before next summer. These kayaks both came quickly and were priced well. She bought hers on Prime day for about 112.00, and I purchased mine a few weeks later not on sale for right under 150.00. Great deal, and quality product. The heavy duty PVC is very sturdy and I had no qualms pulling the kayak up on the cement boat ramp to dry out. Great product and will likely purchase again for my sister and mother!

Bought it for lake/river adventure in Adirondack, upstate NY based on previous reviews, design and price (in total payed $ 200). Inflated using supplied pump paying precautions not to over-pump and assembled in around 10 minutes: the entire process was very quick and easy. My original plan was to use it for moving around with camping gear and supply for 1-2 nights. After inflating it for the first time I realized that with both of us on board there were no space left for the camping gear. So we stayed camping on that particular lake and tried the boat there. As previous reviewers pointed out, tracking with the fin attached was not bad, and we paddled across the lake (a couple of miles altogether) without any difficulty. (The were some cross wind and waves, but the boat handled it well). Deflating it removing lock valves was very quick. The next day we decided to try in on a river course, planning paddling 3-4 hours one way and than turn around. En route we collided with underwater rock, but the bottom material took it well. After paddling for a while we decided to rest and take some pictures, so we touched land in the middle of very wide semi lake on big rock standing out the water. It was sunny day with occasional clouds, around 70 degrees. I put the boat on the rock since there were no other place. After 10-15 minutes of enjoying the scenery we heard the very loud bang. Shocked, we turn around and watched in horror that entire starboard was gone! At first we couldn't find the breach, but than realized it was under the front canopy, 1 feet long, along the seam. No way we could repair it with supplied repair kit. Being stranded in the middle of nowhere was not a good feeling, but gradually we decided to try to balance the boat with deflated starboard ...and it worked! (the board itself was still attached to the seats, which prevented it from collapsing). Being very careful, we could manage safely to the starting point. Later I decided to fix the breach temporarily with duct tape hoping not to ruin my fishing plans, but no matter how I tried, the air leaked through the point where final edge of the tape touched the seam.. Now I am thinking about repairing it, but all tutorials on the net are mostly related to fixing holes and not long breaches across the seam. Is it worse fixing it in terms of reliability? Any advice will be appreciated! P.S. While having no complaint about general quality of the product, it is still difficult to believe that it is EXTREMELY vulnerable to the heat. Please be aware of that.
