420x Explorer Reviews
4.8 out of 5 stars. (86)We are very happy with our purchase. We have taken it out on river excursions several times and also on Lake Huron at Drummond Island and it always performs great. The ease of hauling it is a huge plus for us. No need to strap anything on the roof, everything fits in the back. Highly recommend getting the electric pump from Sea Eagle, especially if you are taking out more than one craft. My Kids have one also and it makes life easier. The upgraded seats are very comfortable and are easily adjusted. We recommend the Sea Eagle brand to everyone we know. Can’t go wrong with this purchase!
Got our Kayak this weekend had FUN and was VERY RELAXING Can't wait to go out again in a couple of weeks we stayed close to the shore just to get the feel of the Kayak i tell you after 30 minutes first time out we started getting water into the Kayak i wanted to see if the Self Bailing Drain Valves worked was not worried because we were close to shore and Flat water come to find out a couple of the plugs were not tighten down so we stop and drained out the water and keep on going for other 2 hours. For our First Kayak VERY HAPPY with SEA EAGLE FELT VERY SAFE on the water.
We love our Sea Eagle 420x!!! My wife and I wanted to be more active while camping and were tired of just looking at the lakes and ponds at the campgrounds! We have sold at least 4 of them by allowing people try out our kayak . As soon as they see how sturdy it is and easy to use they are sold. It’s easy to set up use ,break down and store in a small footprint! Thank you for an amazing product and getting us out into the water exploring and fishing !
Very stable easy to inflate and deflate And treads water with ease

Key Features
16 Rapid Self - Bailing Easy To Open & Shut Drain Valves

When the 16 rapid self-bailing drain valves 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.
