    • Fantastic sit-on-top kayak. Stable and great for normal paddling or a day of fishing!
Color: Sunset
Review Image by Brent B. Brent B.
Review Image by Brent B. Brent B.
A very stable kayak for a sit-on-top. This is a great choice for those looking for a day of paddling with others and has plenty of storage for hitting the water to do some fishing. Some might think the seat is a little low for fishing and not having the option to sit higher would be a big negative, or even not having a really stable option for standing in the kayak itself. However, when I've had a higher seat on another kayak and the ability to stand... I simply just didn't do it very much at all. I also find it much easier to net a fish, place the handle of the net under my knee and then unhook the fish, it just felt more natural to do that. With larger dedicated fishing kayaks, I also found myself not being able to keep up with my wife in her Pungo 120, so moving to the Tarpon 120 was really nice. It let us get out and paddle together and keep up with one another without a problem. I also found the Tarpon to be slick out on the river and cut through water nicely, so paddling didn't take much effort to get the kayak moving nicely. I really like the firm handles in the front/back and each side, compared to the previous model which had rubber grips with nylon attaching them. The seat is very comfortable! It's one of the most under rated things when it comes to purchasing a kayak it seems. The seats for Wilderness are great and you can paddle for hours and hours and get the support needed without having a sore bottom or back afterwards. Having the option to pull the straps on each side in tight, and pull the handle upwards in the front area to bring the seat down to support your lower back firmly as well as it pulling the front of the seat up to support you knees... it's just a very well thought out seat for a sit on top that really gives the support in the right places. It's nice to have some dry storage in the front and plenty of room in the back for a milk crate, cooler or whatever you'd like to bring on your journey. Overall I would say this is a great kayak that covers a lot of bases. It lets you get out and fish comfortably and also just have a day of paddling as it cuts through the water nicely. I would highly recommend this kayak to anyone! ... show more

    • Great Kayak!
I originally bought this kayak based on the reviews of prior years. This model year doesn’t rate quite as well, but most of this issues cited do not impact me at all. I find this to be a great kayak that tracks straight and has the bells and whistles I appreciate.

    • Good but not as perfect as I would have hoped
Color: Forest Green
Tracking is great. It took several tries to figure out what seat position worked for my bad back. I ended up needing to add the lumbar yak pad. As lumbar support was not great for me. I kayak year round and have been for years. My last kayak finally wore out. I got this one for the seat. It’s pretty good. Like I said tracking is really good but I feel like the boat is slow in the water but from that I’ve learned to maybe slow down and enjoy the water more than a big workout. Guess it’s good I also go to the gym then. The bummer is the scratches as others have mentioned when delivered. It’s just wrapped in a little clear plastic. Also I was missing parts. I got one and now after several attempts still am playing some game to prove I bought the kayak. Amazon just told me I had to go direct to manufacturer and even that was a bit of a challenge to find the right place/person and even form to fill out. I’ve also noticed that in just one months time, the seat fabric is fading. If I put the back down the part that is covered is darker than the exposed area. I live in Seattle so not like we have massive sun. So if you care about that, cover your seat. ... show more

Ordered the breeze blue Tarpon 120 from Amazon as we had difficulty in finding one locally. We enjoy the Wilderness kayak, especially the Tarpon 120 but would reconsider ordering online due to poor quality of shipping. Time of delivery was different than requested, with the window of delivery changing 3 times. The kayak was delivered outside of all stated delivery windows and was damaged. ... show more

    • Fantastic
As a bigger guy..280 pounds I was worried how this would sit in the water. Not only did I have no problems getting into the Kayak but I was faster than my 120 pound wife. I felt like I was cutting through the water like a warm knife through butter. I did buy scupper plugs for the back well of the boat and now my gear stays dry. Also, because I am tall, 6 foot 2 and I saw nothing about leg length on any reviews I will add this; At 6 foot you are completely legs straight. So it's a slight bend for us taller guys but the Kayak is stable enough that you can hang a leg over the edge if you need to. ... show more

    • Love my Wilderness Tarpon 120
Color: Galaxy
I stated with a used Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100 and I decided that I wanted a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120. I love this kayak! It has plenty of storage and the seat is super comfortable for me even with lower back issues. It cuts through the water so smoothly and I am so glad I made the upgrade.

    • Excellent Fishing Kayak
Third Wilderness Systems kayak but first fishing kayak. Most of my time has been spent fishing from a Pungo 140. Love this Kayak. The 2020 Tarpon tracks well and is stable. Maneuvering is no problem too. The dry storage box is a nice feature. It fits a standard milk crate for anglers, which has been great coming from the Pungo. Note: I'm just over 200lbs. The scupper holes take on quite a bit of water. If you're fishing colder water, then invest in scupper plugs to stay dry. ... show more

    • Overall good kayak
Review Image by Angela Angela
Comfortable, easy to maneuver, plenty of storage. Overall good kayak, and suits our needs. I would make sure you inspect it once it's delivered. The first kayak had cardboard wrapped around the bottom and sides, and secured with plastic wrap. However, the second one was only wrapped in plastic and I discovered I good size dent in the front left side of the kayak. ... show more
