Mine had a hole when we opened it, so I have to return it and now I'm skeptical about getting another.

Both oars broke while out in the water the first time......... Do not buy this. It's going to break on you too.

I bought two of these and absolutely love them. Would buy again. Worth every penny.

Ordered for the kids to use at the cottage, blew it up with an electric pump and it was fast and easy to put together. Large enough for 2 adults.Haven’t tried in the water yet but looks great

Not tested in water yet but looks very adequate

I was super excited about this kayak with the canopy because you really need it here in Florida in the summer sun! It’s a lifesaver! Blowing it up was easy and assembling the canopy as well. We did a run with the kayak and it started fun but then the paddle broke! The plastic as well as the metal so that’s when the fun stopped. I have to say that the fabric of the kayak feels very soft and easy punchable so we did not feel safe anymore. Also the fabric of the kayak where the seats are attached with the bel, it t is so soft, it deforms the kayak. I loved it because of the canopy but now I am sad that I have to return it because of the poor quality of the kayak. It’s just doesn’t feel safe.

Where to start...well...it's not the most sturdy and if you are a novice this might become an issue if you flip over, encounter high winds things like that.The boat, well kayak is VERY narrow. I hate how it squeezes you in and I would have enjoyed this more if there was a bit more width to the entire thing. I get it's a kayak but if you are going through all this effort to make a multi person (I say large single person and your dog) watercraft and have it cost this much - make it a tad wider eh? My fishing tackle rubs the sides of the pvc which will wear it out fast, meaning I need to carry some foam or extra towel now, something of the sort to add a layer between the tackle box and the sides. sigh. I'm annoyed at this - at least I can just toss it into the carry bag.The issue was really when you attach (required!) the front and rear tie in mastheads? whatever they are called. it pulls the sides and bottom to hold everything together making it narrow - at least for me. The seat strapping is probably the weakest link in this entire thing. You need to be much more gentle with attaching them or else the strap might rip right out.All that aside, it comes with a carry bag but was packed into a medium sized box to give you an idea of how compact this is, when in the carry bag it is about a large tall duffle bag sizing. This will be perfect for those people that are stuck in a city and just occasionally want to go splash around in a "real" sized watercraft and not feel or look like a fool blowing up a a kid's sized toy all embarrassed in the sand.It's a good 10ft long, my 6ft frame is comfortable enough in it (aside from my squeezing comment above I mean) and the roof thing is a neat idea. It's tent poles that go in like a cross and then attach near the kayak's side's with clips. the wind will make you hate this, but once you are in the water it's going to be ok (until you flip and while underwater the entire thing blows away being inflatable).It comes with all the bells and whistles it should like fins for the bottom and paddles. The rubber is not thin and unless you deliberately hit a sharp rock or that pointy branch bush near the edge it should not puncture easily. paddles screw together and are in multi parts but quite short once all together? They could add another section in there to make it slightly longer without hurting much for the total bag carry weight nor room inside.The inflating ports were very sturdy and dual ported. The large for releasing air fast and the smaller has a rubber one way simple port on it. Using a usbc air inflator I had it all setup outside on my lawn in roughly 15-20min all in from walking out with the bag to "launch" as they say. So you driving up to a beach or a dock will roughly be the same experience - park and walk to the spot, you're gone in the water about 20min later (without ruining anything or rushing, stowing away items in bag, attaching anchor to front etc) Maybe a bit longer if you are loading fishing gear or something but you are away pretty quick honestly.The inflating part of all the sections and seats took all of 5 minutes with a usbc electric pump. The rest was dealing with the obnoxious wind and attaching it all without punching holes in the craft stupidly with the pole or a stick. If you rush and don't care or leave things behind for someone else to clean up you could full assemble and launch in less than 8-10 minutes by my reckoning!Overall there are some issues, but they are small in comparison to what the trade off is. A literal boat in a bag that doesn't suck and won't make you look silly. (until you fall out ha!)

Fits two and some fishing gear pretty snug. I'll be honest I don't use the cover thing, takes too long to set up, but it works great without it! I kinda wanted to make this 4 star because the strap holder for the seats ripped on the first use, but that was user error, my buddy is a big guy and sat on it wrong and it just ripped right out, luckily it just effects the chair, didn't cause leakage. Great value for money! I bought 2!

A decent alternative to the hard body kayaks and super portable if you don't have a truck or the ability to strap it to your roof. It's kinda hard to move around inside it once you're seated though. The seats should sit about 2 or 3 inches higher at least. As it is you are sitting flat with your legs pretty much straight out in front of you, so all you can do is turn really. Also the paddles are modular so they tend to get water inside while you're paddling and dump it inside the boat. I got completely soaked and my vape almost exploded. But the kayak is sturdy and is easy to paddle around (don't forget the skids like I did 🤣)

I've been an inflatable kayak owner for most of my 86 years and I cannot understand the low ratings given to what I consider a high quality light duty boat. The awning itself, is worth the price paid for the entire package. And, that doesn't include the quality tools like the air pump and containers. The oars are, indeed, light weight and certainly not designed to fend off rocks and shoals... but this boat is not intended for that purpose, anyway. They work fine and with reasonable care should last as long as the boat. The kayak bag is lighter than I would have liked but it does the job it's supposed to. Having now seen and handled the boat, I am not only going to keep it, I'm considering buying another one. It just must be used as intended!

Great deal paid $70 and really happy with this kayak. 1st picture is just testing it and then added more air and it sat much higher in the water and with better form. My wife dog and I paddled all over a little lake with it. We will use this on the lakes and reservoirs around us. Paddles are not great and a little short for me 6'3" those will get replaced but good for 1st couple uses. No complaints on how it handled. Is this for a giant trip or rough water no. But it is great for lake days and chilling. It did not have the directions in it but emailed the company and had digital ones on the morning. The pump is pretty good pumped up suprising fast.

It's just April and not ready to launch in my pond for dunk testing. But I did fully set it up and want to spread the word: the price is fantastic for this portable kayak.I will add an update once I get it wet.Notable observations:1-the pump was fast to fill the 3 major compartments to firm.2-at 190lbs, this is a one man kayak with dual removable keel fins at the correct end for one person.3-the end covers with the carry handles lace on to the upper pontoon compartments. No guides but figuring it out was therapeutic and took patience. They will not be removed!4-the seat cushions with back straps buckle securely to the pontoon compartments. In one person mode flipping like a fish, pushing back made the kayak more rigid with my body becoming part of the structure. Twisting and tumbling in the kayak on the floor, the form was again retained with my legs naturally hooking under the pontoon and the floor compartment.5-popped the air plugs and simply folded the ends in with covers laced on, to get a roll size that fit the included bag. Shoved in the 2x deflated seated, 1x flat floor cushion accessory, pump, paddles (disassembled), tool bag and fly kit. It ALL Fit!!The hull material seems as strong as the 14-21 oz tarp fabric of my storage shelter and feels more stretchy and puncture resistant. Two tiny patch squares are included, however we all know to buy additional FlexSeal wide size patch tape for the tool bag (where the plastic keel fins are stored).The seams are welded not stitched so the correct pump pressure cannot be too high - the included hand pump was enough and does not require electricity.The fly sun top is equally Eazy to reply and pack away. Those who kayak with legs exposed know the fly top is essential.Simple, perfect portable kayak "accessory" for the Cuddy runabout and small enough when bagged to keep in the Cuddy.Looking forward to an actual water trial.The bottom compartment is a flat ribbed slab with the pontoon compartments above. This design presents many edges that could catch air/wind and branches/jagged rocks when exploring some confined creeks and channels where the Cuddy can't go.IMO this is excellent value for an inflatable kayak complete portable kit. Obviously, after my trial I'm expecting to get a second one for the buddy factor.

I was hoping I would like this inflatable kayak more than I do. We ordered it with the idea of keeping it on our boat (a large-ish cruiser) and inflating it to tool around and explore when we're at anchor. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be doing that.The inflatable kayak took two adults about a half hour to fully assemble, and that is using a powered air pump, not the ridiculous manual pump supplied with the kayak. I'm sure with some practice, that assembly time will shorten a bit. One of the most frustrating things is that nowhere in the instructions or marked on the kayak does it say what pressure to inflate it to. It just says inflate it until it's fully inflated. Not very helpful.The system for securing the seats to the 'hull' is terrible. Straps attached to the seats are secured to eyelets on the sides of the hull that look to be glued on (at best) and do not look to be able to withstand any amount of stress or strain such as you would apply by leaning back against your seat's backrest. Even when all strapped in, there is no real support provided by the backrest. People (like me) with a bad back are not going to enjoy using this thing.Another issue I have is that the entire hull of the kayak is one single air chamber. Contrast this with a 'real' inflatable boat (like a zodiac) which has multiple separate air chambers, so if one is punctured or leaks, there is still one or more inflated air chambers to keep you from sinking. With this inflatable kayak, if you happen to drag this rather thin PVC boat over a rock or stiff stick while in the water, you're going to be swimming to shore.Despite all my grumblings about this inflatable kayak, if you know all this about it and you do not plan to use it anywhere with rocks or trees in the water and you're just going to play around and use it like a floaty water toy (which it is, really), then it will suit you just fine. But if you are thinking that this is the solution to your desire to have a kayak to go boating with then you will likely be disappointed.
