420x Explorer Reviews
4.8 out of 5 stars. (93)Awesome product! Great experience ordering, receiving, and service. But I have to say, I was a bit skeptical on the stability and toughness, but I’d take this in class 4 without much worry, though I didn’t buy it for that. Great kayak all around!
I love my 420. Great quality, easy to inflate and store.
Our Sea Eagle Kayak has been wonderful. We have used it on rivers and in two Great Lakes so far. It is not like other kayaks. It is so stable we use it as a swimming platform as well as a kayak. We bought it so we could easily take it on vacation rather than strapping hardsided kayaks to the top of our car. Our Sea Eagle is too long for super narrow fast steams so I will probably buy smaller one person Sea Eagles in the future for that. But for now, this boat is perfect for us.
We love our kayak. It's very sturdy and fits nicely in the trunk, and is big enough for us two grandparents and two elementary age grand daughters. We've learned - through a mistake - that the skeg is vitally important to navigation. With the skeg in place, navigation is a breeze.

Key Features
16 Rapid Self - Bailing Easy To Open & Shut Floor Drains

When the 16 rapid self-bailing floor drains are open, you are sure to drain off water as quickly as it enters! With the drain valves closed you are certain to remain high and dry when paddling on flat waters such as lakes, bays and other bodies of water.
Modular Rigid Drop Stitch Floor Provides Double Protection

The unique modular design of the Sea Eagle Explorer™ features a super rigid, high pressure, drop stitch floor that sits on top of an outside floor. This has several advantages. The high-pressure DS floor provides great rigidity and super responsive paddling performance. The reinforced outside fabric floor provides a double layer of added protection so it can bounce off rocks, logs, and other objects. The modular design allows the DS floor to be easily removed for quick and thorough cleaning.
Large Removable Rear Center Skeg

A nice feature of this design is that the skeg can be removed with the Explorer inflated or deflated. Simply remove it for whitewater and skinny water adventures (eliminating it as an obstruction)and replace it for flat water to reduce yawing (swinging to the right or left). This increases track-ability during long flat-water touring, maximizing efficiency.
