I purchased my sea eagle to take on a trip to the Bahamas. The kayak easily was checked as luggage at 50.5 lbs. I went as far as 1 mile off shore to get on the other side of the reef. Although it took on water because of the waves, I never felt in danger. It handled very well even in some fairly large swells.

I was very impressed with the quality of the materials. Even some pretty heavy use never felt like it was not going to hold up.

My wife and I spent many hours exploring and never felt cramped. There was plenty of legroom.

If I have one suggestion to make I would add some secondary way of securing fishing poles. The ends of my poles would not fit through the rod holders so I had to add a couple of straps to secure them horizontally.

While in the Bahamas I received an email about inflatable paddle boards. I guess that will be my next Sea Eagle purchase.

Thanks Sea Eagle, Dave

The 385fta is one of the best investments I've ever made. I was going to say more, but this forum didn't allow me enough space.

Boat was great, but the seat I ordered, inflatatable, green has a different valve than my boat. Unable to inflate with the pump included with the boat. Not good when out camping and trying boat out for the first time.

Boat does not paddle well when sitting in fishing seat, which is why I bought the inflatable seat.

I was thrilled to get the boat, now am extremely disappointed in it.

Purchased this kayak last summer to keep in an apartment we have in Alexandria Va. Customer service was excellent, received shipment quickly and on date indicated it would arrive.

Only had 3 opportunities to use it before cold weather set in. Twice fishing and once for some quite paddle time on a lake with my wife. I really like the kayak so far.

It is very easy to handle, even on a windy day. I had no problem inflating it with a hand pump (maybe 10 minutes), but I will look to eventually get an electric pump as on a really hot day, even ten minutes on a hand pump gets you sweaty.

I'm looking forward to this spring and getting out on the water to do a little fishing.

I would definitely recommend your products and in fact already have.

I like this boat a lot. Next purchase will be the aluminum frame fishing seat. As a fly fisherman I think that make fishing a little easier. I was surprised how easy it handled on a windy lake. I had a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 16 for years, stolen from me by Hurricane Ike, that I loved for fishing the Texas coast and I hate to say it but I think this is a better boat. I'm in Connecticut now mostly on nearby lakes or the Connecticut River so the comparison may not be fair - I don't know how this boat would handle confrontations with oysters but so far rocks are not a problem. It's tracking system and skeg gives it an edge up on sit-on-tops...even SOT's with rudders. It is lighter and more stable, the rigid floor being a great asset. I'm getting a little old for it now, but I'd love to have tried this boat on the Sandy River, OR from Slaughter Hole to Revenue Bridge.

I like the boat.

It is easy to set up.

It is comfortable and move around effortlessly in calm water.

Service rendered by the support staff is excellent,

I got a new set of paddle almost immediately after I brought it up to their attention that the one sent to me do not fit nicely

I bought the 385FT fast track angler about 4 years ago ( the older version) and loved it, always performed great and very convenient. The seams started coming apart so I contacted Sea Eagle customer support. Even though the Kayak was out of its warranty period they replaced it with the new and improved 385FTA! I believe Sea Eagle has the best product and the best product support hands down. Looking forward to many more years paddling.

For some time I thought of buying a fishing kayak before to be retired. But why not also to take advantage of it before without waiting?

Thus I looked for an inflatable fishing Kayak also usable to make of the stroll and lower on quiet river and from the seaside. I look for a Swiss knife kayak! And the SeaEagle 385 FTA perfectly met my needs: configurable at the need and very evolutionary. At his reception, I was surprised very pleasantly by the quality of the product its robustness and its ease of inflating and folding. It is important to have an easily accessible tight box for keys and papers of the car, the camera, the phone and over, but also to store the life jacket, the repair kit, the skeg, the leachs, and all. I bought a box an Explore Cases 3818 GE who can put himself it of multiple places: the bow or the stern, between side chambers in the front or in the back, or as site riser.
