SereneLife Inflatable 2-Person Kayak, Lightweight Portable Kayak for Adults with Aluminum Paddles, Pump, Adjustable Seats, Durable PVC, 660lb Capacity, Carry Bag & Repair Kit Included, Camo

I received this Kayak as a gift from a family member, and am I glad he did his research for this is truly an exceptional Kayak: both as regards quality build and design, AND as a "Bang for "Buck value! First thing that draws your attention is that this kayak is surprisingly light and easy to move around, even alone. With two, its simply irrelevant. Next are the excellent design lines of the Kayak. The balanced proportions, size, and camo skin just plain look RIGHT- and surprise, they ARE right! Then there are the seats. I can almost guarantee you that no matter how much kayak/canoe experience you have, you have most likely NEVER sat in a more comfortable seat than these inflatable skin over bladder seats. It is possible to pretty much custom fit their shape as well as locate them anywhere in the boat, and facing any direction (think fishing for instance). They are also easily removable for sitting on at your campsite. Both the back and bottom are totally adjustable as to softness and height so whether you're trying to paddle with "vigor" across a lake/river or, cast in any direction for your favorite fish, or even just lounging around on the water its amazingly easy and comfortable to do. Next there is the Drop Stitch floor which brings a whole new stability to inflatable kayaks. Believe me when I say you can move around the kayak without fear of unexpectedly going over the side:) The combination of the larger side tubes and high pressure floor result in completely unexpected stability. Getting in and out of this kayak, even from swimming in the water, is amazingly easy- you can literally sit on one of the side tubes and not capsize the boat. Then just swing your legs over and you're good to go. The Kayak is also quite fast, though if you're going out to tour on flat water, plan ahead and insert either the aft skeg, the forward one, or both which depending on your weight distribution, will allow you to track straight as an arrow. If on the other hand, you're paddling down a mild but fast river, without the skegs you can spin this thing around like like a whitewater specific yak. THEN, there's the option of 'blending into' your surroundings, for waterfowling, sneaking up on that granddaddy bass, or birding or otherwise just going along undetected in natural surroundings. The kayak also comes with an excellent double action pump with a pressure gauge, as well as all the adapters you're ever likely to need, as well as a complete repair kit, and some multiple position footrests that actually work for keeping your legs comfortable as the hours pass bye.In short, from ages 3or 4 (with adult supervision of course) on up to as long as one remains mobile, this kayak makes for a truly non-drama vehicle for the pursuit of one's "Serene Life". :) Well named I'd say.Frankly, you could spend a heck of a lot more money and still find yourself in a less satisfying kayak having to work a lot more to even get out on the water; all while having one heck of a lot less fun. If you need something that easily fits in the seat of a car, on a plane, or just in a backpack on your shoulders; and can at the same time be stored away in a closet or unused corner of a room, this yak is worthy of a look.P.S. It also has a warranty:)

Although I am no pro, I have many DECADES of kayaking and rafting experience. So what's a guy with all this supposed experience doing... buying a no-name kayak you might ask? I'm also on a budget and in a hurry to get going on a kayak camping trip and well...my Ascend Kayak was recently stolen while at a motel on a similar trip. I needed something cheap but durable and with good cargo capacity for my camping gear. I originally was going to sell my kidney and get a SeaEagle or an Elkton Steelhead but I ran into this for less than FOUR HUNDRED BILLS.PROS: It was only ONE Bill more than the INTEX EXCURSION PRO TANDEM, but had way more cargo capacity, a dropped stitch floor and better valves. I was initially very impressed with the build quality and materials used. The packaging was great and the carrying bag is actually very nice and useful with large zippers and straps. It's no military grade bag, but should be usable for a couple years. What surprised me was the quality of the pump and paddles. I've had my fair share of sub-5hundred dollar inflatable kits and the pumps and paddles are junk and barely useable. These paddles are a proper 250cm long for a wide kayak like this one is, and although they are a 4 piece design, they are surprisingly light for aluminum paddles and stiff throughout. They are much stiffer and piece together much better than most cheap 2 piece paddles. Don't get me wrong though, they are twice as heavy as my Bending Branches carbon fiber paddle. The pump has all the proper attachments... one for the raft valves and one for the Boston valves on the seats, which are quick to pump up and surprisingly comfortable. The pump also has an accurate well place gauge at the top of the handle that is within 0.5 psi if my digital gauge. On top of that, it is very efficient. I was so able to inflate the entire kayak and floor in less than 5 MINUTES!!! The kayak has a stout hard rubber nose cone on both ends that protect it well from almost any impact. It comes with 2 removable skegs and a repair kit with patches but NO glue. So why the 1 star?!CON: I was more than ecstatic, thinking I found the coveted DIAMOND IN THE Chinese rough. I've found a few of these in my years as a starving adventurer... but it's been awhile and I was elated until the day after I inflated the kayak. I had the main tubed at 2psi and the floor at 8psi. The next day one of the tubes had lost pressure and by day 3, I could tell both tubes lost pressure. The floor was solid... no leaks. I was shocked to find that all the leaks were at the seams. I have included pictures. From all the glowing reviews of this one in Camo and the Blue Kayak...I hope this is just a lemon put together by Daryl and his other brother Daryl. I patched all the leaks and hope the kayak doesn't just split open and unalive me on the river because I don't have time to return it just yet. I hope that when I return, the company I purchased this from will have a brand new perfectly working AIR TIGHT kayak waiting for me at my door. If I don't return, I let my fiance know that I put in this review so either I got assassinated or I sank because I'm really happy and want to be ALIVE forever.P.S. the dogs are yours and get a lawyer.

I got this inflatable kayak for $160 . It was definitely a great buy and a great kayak . It holds up great . I had it for 2 years now and it’s great . I don’t think I would buy $600 the price they our asking .

So far my kayak has 6 holes and still ongoing. The seam is cheaply glued. At first there were two holes when I received the item. Later when I patched the first two then another two holes appear. It seems like the whole left side of the rear seam isn't glued properly. It has a thin layer of glue, and overlap by only one inch. I heard it must be two inches to be safe. Stay away from this one. The only good thing about this one is the floor is made of drop stitch which is a hard surface you can stand on it easily. Also it has good leg room.

This is a great tandem kayak. It was easy to pump up and assemble. The seats are super comfortable. Drop stitch flooring is a plus!
