We love our SeaEagle Kayak! It's perfect for our family of three (plus a pup). It's easy to transport, we can haul all the gear, seats, paddles, life vests, pump, and cooler in our top rack. I like that I can use it solo and pump it up in a reasonable amount of time. We've used it every weekend in the summer and into early fall. We look forward to being able to do a multiple day paddle at some point soon!

In the water, she is awesome. Performs better than expected. Easy to maneuver, tracks straight with the skeg on - just terrific. Out of the water is another thing. She is bulky, heavy and hard to deal with. Instead of the industry normal valves for inflation/deflation, the valves are far more delicate and worrisome as a result. The provided "bag" is miserable to deal with. Trying to fold the boat and then the bag - right out of a Keystone cops comedy. Would be funny, but the bulky, heavy boat is almost impossible to fit in the multi-fold bag. I'd replace the valves and provide a decent bag that has built in wheels and zips instead of folds. The boat herself should last for years as she is hearty. Just be careful with the valves - the weak link. Fix those two issues and she gets a 5!

Thank you for the review.

We do use industry standard valves. This video may help you with using them as well as how to fit the boat in the bag.

Not sure how many hours I spent looking at videos, reviews and websites concerning Sea Eagle inflatables. Was really torn between the Explorer vs. the FastTrack. Really glad I went with the explorer, the gunwales are higher. I haven't been able to actually get into the water yet, it is cold here in Central KY on 02/25/2021. I had seen some videos where it took people 45 minutes to put this thing together. It took me about 15 minutes and that was including putting the seats in and the bow and stern bags, etc. Took me 5 to 7 minutes to roll it up and it is cold outside and the material isn't as flexible as I would have liked and it still didn't take that long. Watching the videos on how to put this thing together helped the most and I had it memorized when it got here. Looks and feels high-quality, my dog jumped in and sat with me for a few minutes. I wasn't worried about his claws once I felt how thick the flooring was. If you are thinking about pulling the trigger, I'd suggest the Explorer 420x.

This is a quality inflatable boat. I passed on purchasing Sea eagle inflatables 20 years ago because of concerns of quality. Those concerns are no longer valid. Great product that I highly recommend.

Was everything I hoped for and more. I take it on large lakes and rivers with my Great Pyrenees and have no fear of a puncture.

I bought 3 of these and a SUP. Unfortunately, I have only been able to use these 2x since purchase. They were ordered for a family vacation on a lake, but these were significantly back-ordered despite the website indicating they were in stock when I purchased them. We did not get to use them for vacation as planned which was super disappointing. Maybe this year. We have used these once on a lake and once in a harbor. They worked well. Felt safe and stable. Appear to be quality construction. These store well and are fairly easy to set up if you use the electric pump.

Customer service was very nice, communication could have been better, but was unable to resolve the unavailability issue.

Pretty awesome kayak, used it 5 times so far. Main downsides are... Foot pump connector comes loose when inflating, and as its a kayak you are quite limited when it comes to putting a motor and motor mount on. If you actually want a boat, you show full review ▼ should get a boat and not the kayak.

should get a boat and not the kayak.

But quality wise everything is really good, easy enough to setup and then deflate and pack away. I would recommend this more for rivers and lakes, and less for ocean.

Sea Eagle's reply:

Thank you for the review. Feel free to contact us regarding assistance/ advice while inflating.

I absolutely love this boat! It works so well for Florida springs. My entire family can fit in it and the electric motor pushes it fine. I’ve used it on rivers, springs and in the Gulf of Mexico for and island camp trip. I can’t say enough show full review ▼ good things about it!

good things about it!

Fabulous. Everything I wanted.

James Clarke Verified Owner 12/13/2020 5.0 out of 5 stars.

Inflatable boat proved to be a great purchase, delivered as expected, easy to set-up and use. The size and weight suitable for a single person to carry and place in water. The high quality materials and design give the boat a solid real and functional performance. The non standard seat option selected was a good move as it provides good back support and comfort. Overall I have been very pleased with the product and would recommend it.
