Sea Eagle SE370 Inflatable Sports Kayak -1-3 Person-Portable Stowable & Lightweight-with Seat(s), Paddle(s), Pump and Bag

We just got this yesterday and of course, we pumped it up in the living room to test it. It was a little tedious to figure out what went where because we didn't know what we were doing but we just kept looking at the directions.It was much bigger and more comfortable than we expected. In the house it looked positively skinny where you have to put your butt, but when you sit it in it kind of comforms to your shape. I am not "little".. I am about 5'1" and 170 pounds and I was fine. I also put my 2 kids in with me... one weighs 105 the other 67 pounds. There is a little overlapping of feet, but not too cramped. I was very impressed with the thickness of the material it is made of and the workmanship. It was much bigger and nicer than I expected. So today we took it to the lake for a test. Now that we knew what to do my 9 year old basically set it up and pumped it up in about 8 minutes by herself. My husband (5'10" 170 pounds) and the above mentioned 2 kids (342 pound total) took it out. What a hoot! I honestly kind of expected it to tip or sink and then have to pack it up and send it back to Amazon, but WOW!... it was amazing. It tracked straight and went pretty fast... although the lake was very calm when we were there. We have only been kayaking twice (and that was only for an hour each time), so we are not experts but my husband said it felt no different than the hardsided kayak he had used before. If there were a wind I guess it would have been harder, but he was amazed at the performance. I think the double skegs on the bottom really help, because other brands that don't have the skegs seem to have alot of poor performance reviews, but that is just my opinion. Then my husband let my kids do it alone (just the 2 of them) and they did great! They didn't go far, but they were able to handle it and maneuver it well. It was a little bit of a pain to try to dry it off enough (we went late in the day so we couldn't let it air dry), and you have to get into the nooks and crannies.. but we did what we could and when we got home we pumped it up in the basement near the dehumidifier so hopefully it will finish drying it off. Once you know what you are doing, it only takes a few minutes to pump it up. I did alot of research before I made this purchase, and it seemed that this was the best for the money... and I am very happy. I actually was thinking of the Sea Eagle 330 and was about to buy it when I checked the prices and the 370 was actually $25 less than the 330 that day (and $75-125 less than the 370 had been a few days before). Now I see the price has gone up again, but keep checking as the price seems to fluctuate. (I actually paid $224 for the 370 about a week ago) So if the convenience of not having to cart it, store it, carry it, like a hard sided one (not to mention paying more) appeals to you... give it a try... I was more than pleasantly surprised.And thank you to all the other reviewers that helped me make this decision!9/2/12 We took it out again to the same lake and had even more fun with it. My husband and the 2 kids decided to try to get to the other side of the lake. It had taken about 25 minutes in the hard sided kayak, so I waited about 5 or 6 minutes before I got in the car and went to meet them on the other side of the lake. I couldn't see them so I prepared to sit and wait in the car. Next thing I knew my kids were knocking on the window of the car... THEY HAD MADE IT BEFORE ME! My husband said it seemed to move quicker than the hard sided one he had used before. Also we had people watching us pump it up. One person came to talk to us about it and said he was going to get one based on what he saw with ours and the fact that even the kids could handle it. Still really happy with the purchase. BUT, although the bag is big, it is heavy and the kayak and pump, etc do add up to more weight than I want to handle... so I am getting a tub with wheels on it so I can drag it to the water easier.8/24/13 Still Happy!~ Working great! No problems! I am not that strong, so I bought a garbage can on wheels to store it in. I can pull it out of the van and wheel it to the lake. Dry it when done and wheel it to the car and into the storage area at home. No problems, no mold, still good as new! BTW, drying it is much easier IF you dump the water out of the self bailing plug in the end (which I just noticed! Duh!)

We bought this to use in the summertime at our cottage on a small lake. It’s large enough to hold 3 people but the third person sits on the bottom between the two other people that have seats with backs. The seats are inflatable but not very comfortable, a little moveable so we took the backs off. The material is a strong durable hard material and is blown up by a foot pump, which was easy for me to do. The boat is heavy and does take two people to carry it. We left it outside all night so we did not need to deflate it. When we did deflate it, it was easy. It comes with a bag for storage, for space saving. I was not able to get it back to its original size so I just folded it up and stored it. It is heavy once folded so I needed my husband to carry it for me. It does come with 2 oars that work great and are lightweight but sturdy. At a reasonable price, easy to put together, very strong durable material; this is a great family boat that we are using to create family memories.

This has been a great starter inflatable kayak. The foot pump for inflation surpassed my expectations. I can get this this kayak out of the car and ready to paddle in 15 minutes or so after a little experience with it. The kayak has 3 chambers, the floor, and 1 pontoon like chamber on each side. I try to do the same amount of pumps on each side for equal buoyancy, around 100-125 pumps on the side chambers and 90-100 on the floor. I use this with my girlfriend and our 40 lbs dog reaching around half capacity of 600 lbs. Maneuverbility feels pretty good on still water and pretty good on lightly choppy water. We haven't used it on white water. Its buoyant enough to jump off and climb back in with a little coordination, might be a different story for larger people. Not a huge fan of the seats. They are just kind of awkward and dont strap to anything, that being said they dont move around too much unless you do, and comfortable enough for day use. I like to store a dry bag with drinks and ice blocks behind the back seat. It packs up really well in the oversized bag it comes with. The bag is huge and awkward when it's full and takes up a passenger seat easily in a car. The bag has a handle and shoulder strap, but you aren't easily hiking to a lake with this thing, I'd say it's at least 50-60 lbs. When packing it up I like to just leave the kayak out of the bag and spray and dry it home. I think if you pack and store it wet all rolled up it might get musty and moldy. We liked that it came with everything you need, making it a great starter set up. I figure if we use this thing 20 times or roughly 100 hours we'll get our money out if. It was priced fair considering it comes with everything, but still expensive in my opinion. If I could go back I would just buy the kayak with the non deluxe seats, and find the ores at a pawn shop.

it is fantastic. I am blown away with how stable and great this is. My wife and I have been out fishing, and exploring in this. Due to the light weight and profile, it is not great n heavy winds but otherwise a very nice boat that is easy to set up and take anywhere.

Antes que nada, quiero hacer notar que a pesar del título de la publicación, el paquete es la versión deluxe y no la pro. Esto significa que trae los asientos que se muestran en la foto y no los que ofrecen soporte adicional para la espalda.La bomba de aire que se incluye hace que el inflado del kayak sea extremadamente rápido y fácil. Las válvulas de inflado no permiten que se escape el aire cuando se quita la bomba y la tapa con rosca asegura que no se salga el aire después. Para desinflar basta con desenroscar la tapa y prácticamente se desinfla por su propio peso, no es necesario subirse en el para que se salga todo el aire. La bolsa que se incluye es útil para transportar todo en una sola bolsa, únicamente desearía que tuviera bolsas para los remos ya que se podría ponchar el kayak al momento de meter los tubos de los remos. Para distancias largas o para remar con mucha fuerza recomendaría comprar remos otros remos, preferentemente de fibra de carbono ya que los remos que se incluyen son pesados y la paleta se flexional ligeramente cuando se apoya muy fuerte. Si El empaque incluye dos protectores inflables para las aletas inferiores del kayak para evitar que se doblen lo cual me parece muy útil al momento de guardarlos.Yo necesitaba un kayak en donde cupiéramos cómodamente mi esposa, mi hijo de 7 años y yo, que soportara bastante peso pero que pudiera cargarlo y remar solo. Este kayak es perfecto para lo que quería. Inicialmente había pensado en comprar el modelo 330 pero encontré este a muy buen precio.

Für mich nehmen die Bewertungen bei Amazon einen immer höheren Stellenwert ein, was sich auch bewahrheitet. Wenn man im Internet nach aufblasbaren Kajak sucht kommen TOP Platzierungen, wenn man dann bei Amazon die Bewertungen auswertet, ist die Realität anders.Diese Kajak habe ich aufgrund der Bewertungen bei Amazon gekauft und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Ich schreibe die Bewertung, nachdem wir mit dem Kajak einen Indonesien Urlaub gemacht hatten. Das Kajak hatten wir in eine XXL Reisetasche mit Rollen verstaut, wiegt 24Kg (bei 30Kg international frei kein Problem) Wir waren an mehreren Orten mit keinen Inseln und hatten diese immer mit dem Kajak besucht. Das Kajak wurde aufgeblasen, wir waren jeden Tag damit unterwegs, dann wurde das Kajak verstaut, wir sind in Indonesien weiter geflogen und dann das ganze wieder von vorn.Ich wollte damit schreiben, dass das Kajak wirklich strapaziert wurde, aber ohne eine einzige Panne! Super!Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit mit dem Kajak und haben Orte erreicht, welche man ohne Boot oder Schiff (die es in der Region nicht gab) nie erreicht hätten. Da wir nur zu zweit im Kajak waren, hatten wir genug Platz für Getränke und unsere Schnorchelausrüstung incl. Taucherflossen. Auch einen kleineren Wellengang auf dem Meer ist für das Kajak kein Problem.Dieses Kajak ist nicht in den Rankings oder Tests vorn, aber eine 100% Empfehlung!

Very well made, tracks straight, comfortable, light and easy to inflate/deflate. Worth the money as it is high quality along with the seats and paddles. Theres lots of room for 2 or 3 people or 2 people and a lot of camping / travel gear etc..This would be a good kayak to go on a weekend or longer adventure. It is so easy and fast if you have to deflate it and put it in your vehicle and inflate it somewhere else. No tieing it to the roof and worrying if it is tied down securely etc.. Lots of room in the kayak for 2 taller people or for fishing etc..I love to go out on the water stretch out laydown and just let it float with the waves. Sometimes i'll go out 30 feet and tie it to a tree on shore and pass out for hours enjoying the warm sunshine and breeze off the water.I definitely would buy one again or another Sea Eagle product !KevinAvid Kayaker & Lounger

Muy practico y ligero
