  • I am quite pleased. I was using rentals from a popular rafting ...
Im 6'1 and 260lb with long legs. Build quality: Other reviews mentioned a number of shortcomings I was prepared to deal with, see below. However upon getting and testing this Kayak, very few of the issues affected me. Its solidly built and after using it, I am quite pleased. I was using rentals from a popular rafting company on the river before and this kayak is much better. The cockpit is wide and entering/exiting even while solo from a beach to get onto the river was a breeze. The foot pegs and thigh pads are great and allow for a decent degree of control. I am tall and even the deepest foot peg slots are still a little short, but I can still sit comfortably in it with my feet on the pegs without compromising comfort too much. Adjustable seat: Not fully adjustable, but forward or backward. It has 1 plastic clip on either side of the seat near where it is secured to the rivet like a school backpack would have and the only movement it does is forward or backward. I am a big guy so I loosened it so the seat stays against the cockpit plastic back and never had any problems. Smaller/shorter people may want to lock it more forward so the nylon straps and plastic are supporting them closer to the foot pegs. Storage: Ample storage. Water bottle holder on front worked decently and so did the paddle holder for dry storage (tends to come loose while being carried or moved quickly also do not use paddle holder while on the water). Rear compartment is kind of a joke to open while on the water unless you can turn totally around, but is really nice if you are with people who can paddle up to you for access or if you go to shore. The rear compartment has a rubber/foam seal around it and is secured by bungee cables arranged in a star pattern that hook onto the plastic hooks on each side. However its really iffy on actually sealing and more often than not tends to hold well because of the bungee alone. The shape of the plastic around the lid make it really easy to just sit on top of the hole instead of sealing and covering it. It will not stop water if you flip even if it is secured properly, but it keeps the compartment very dry while just floating/paddling even if light rapids and with spray. Issues I thought I would have: - Razor sharp plastic/edges: The Kayak I received had a wider plastic rim on the cockpit compared to what I was expecting. I was prepared to sand/dremel this down but did not need to. I was able to use, move, and load the kayak with no cuts or pain even when handling from the cockpit. Maybe they fixed this on new models, but maybe not. - Included paddle: Whether or not you get a paddle is determined by the model. The "SS model" comes with a paddle so if you got a paddle you have the sun dolphin aruba 10 SS. as far as I know the only difference between ss and not ss is the paddle. I contacted the seller to confirm mine was coming with a paddle. A third party retailer may not even know the difference and might list it as the wrong model. The paddle it comes with in any case is good if you paddle once a year, but garbage for actually moving quickly and maneuvering well. Its also heavy. I bought a decent fiberglass/plastic one for 90 here on amazon. - No seat cushion: Not an issue for me as I felt planted securely and firmly. If you are small/thin framed, might want to grab one so you can plant your butt in the seat. If you are rolling around the cockpit it will be uncomfortable and inefficient. I paddled for 4 hours no seat without issues. - Weight limit specified to be 250lb on product leaflet but I weigh more than that and also bring a few pounds of gear/snacks/water and still dont have issues with floating too low to the water or losing speed/control. Your mileage may vary so do your research. - No leaks yet: Lots of reviews mentioned minor leaks from various rivets/bolt holes that I was prepared to reseal with glue. I have not experienced this problem on class 1 and 2 rivers. My cockpit/bow was entirely dry for the duration of my trip and required no draining other than minor droplets from spray. Happy to answer questions if I can. ... show more

  • Perfect kayak for these beginners
I bought two of these Sun Dolphin kayaks. The first one I bought on a lark because it was on sale and I had been thinking about getting a kayak for the cabin. I bought the second one because I loved the first one so much I wanted my husband to have one. We are in our 50s/60s. I have had a bad back since an accident at age 14 and my husband has had both knees replaced. We have no problem getting in and out of these things (took some practice, LOL) and loading them onto the Rav4 is easy because I bought two racks from Amazon as well. We paddle around any one of 10,000 lakes in this area and these things track pretty well, especially once you get used to paddling and sitting with your hips straight and level. My husband is taller and we discovered he needed a longer paddle, btw. I have never used an "expensive" kayak, and they probably are much better for tracking. IDK. But for this beginner, these things are fabulous and everyone in my family loves to use them. ... show more

  • Great Starter Kayak
I've had the kayak for a few weeks and I'll say that it's a nice starter kayak. I wasn't looking for the top of the line kayak, and shopped around in stores quite a bit before making this purchase. The strengths of this kayak are it's weight (40 lbs), large cabin size and comfortable seat back. If you're tall, you're probably not going to be able to fit your feet comfortably in the kayak. I'm only 5'9" and my feet are on the last foot peg adjustment. Most people can probably lift this easily onto the top of their vehicle, but I have trouble with that, so I think I'm going to add some handles to help me with that. The water bottle holder is on the front of the kayak and it's too far away for me to reach it while I'm kayaking so I keep the bottle between my legs while kayaking. These little things aren't complaints, just things I've observed are important to me. So if you want a cheap kayak that gets you around the lake like a champ, this is a great starter. You might want to add some handles and holders and things to make it more custom for you, but most people aren't as physically challenged as I am either, so it might be perfect for you. ... show more

  • Well built & easy to handle 👏
I have used for 2 summers & heading into my 3rd. Handles smooth. I like how sharp of turns I can make. Glue the insulation strip on, in the back cooler thing. Don’t expect the cooler looking thing to keep anything cold. Easy to clean.

  • Great kayak for the money.
My wife and I were looking for an inexpensive way to get into kayaking so we decided on the Sun Dolphins to get us on the water. The kayaks handle the puget sound quite well and track rather well. Some complained about the kayaks going in circles and other strange issues but that is user error. For small light kayaks, light strokes of the paddles will get you where you need to go. The kayaks are light (about 40 lbs) and are easy to carry with the provided front and rear handles. We can carry both kayaks with paddles, pads and gear inside with no problems. These don't have as many of the features of the more expensive kayaks and are pretty spartan in design but if you are looking for a cheap basic kayak you will not be disappointed. ... show more

  • I am very happy with my choice
I also did a lot of research and read many reviews before purchasing this Sun Dolphin Aruba Kayak. I am very happy with my choice. This is my first “real” kayak. I had the inflatable Intex double person last year, which I enjoyed. This one is comfortable, roomy, stable, tracks nice, easy to maneuver and yet lightweight around 40lbs. It has a place for a water bottle in front and a storage/cooler covered compartment in the back. I am very pleased. Scheduled delivery service was also awesome and friendly and took good care of transporting it. Enjoy if you decide on this one! In my opinion it will not disappoint. Mine is pink! ... show more

  • Be AWARE
Color: Ocean
Yesterday, June 28th 2018, I took my new kayak out on the Ohio River for only the second time. I'm an avid kayaker renting them to always kayak for an adventure and was excited I finally owned one. Approximately 45 minutes in the water, the kayak started filling up with water. I immediately placed my life vest on and for the next half an hour or so pulled the kayak with one hand while swimming to land with other praying someone would come help me. I don't understand why it sank! I transported it on a mat and there was absolutely no way I could have injured it during transport and to the river. I felt nothing hit the kayak during my time on the water and I meet the weight limitations. I'm extremely upset because I have no idea the cause of the damage and now my new kayak is floating at the bottom of the river. I had to hike 4 miles to find help and severely sunburned on top of it. I'm a RN and an avid adventure/nature lover who is disappointed with what transpired. Again, I want to reiterate that this was only the second time this kayak was used! So very disappointed. ... show more

  • Get wet.
Well, this ain't no super quality composite kayak, and at the purchase price, it isn't expected to be. Still, be aware that these entry level boats haven't sufficient buoyancy to keep one afloat as a canoe with bow and stern sealed floats will. Also, the seat is not adjustable so don't plan on a long trip of several hours. As an absolute entry level boat or just for splashing around, it is tough enough polymer material to take a beating and provide lots of fun. If you want an adjustable seat, plan on a few hundred more, but then you might want to consider the kayaks with more storage, and the feature I look at which is having sealed bulkhead float chambers at both the bow and stern. The entry size to the boat allows easy in and out, which is always a good thing. Do ensure the use of life preservers for anyone on the water and especially with these boats as they allow you to cover a distance very quick and be away from shore before you know it. I know I sound like the water nanny, but they do scoot as compared to a canoe or a row boat. Finally, they are just at the high side for weight for a pre-teen or slightly built adult, so check the weight on competing boats. ... show more
