473rl Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars. (56)
Antoine de La Sayette Verified Owner 7/26/2023 5.0 out of 5 stars.

Our kayak is now 6 years old.

We took it on the lakes of Arkansas for multi day trips, then paddled over 100miles in it from Key Largo to Key West in 9 days.

This was made possible by the deck we built for the kayak, maybe an option sea eagle should develop?

show full review ▼

We now use it on the Mediterranean sea in France.

It's a great Kayak, very well made.

We had two small leaks in 6 years that we fixed, probably due to transport while folded.

It is big enough to bring camping gear for multi days trips,

Without a deck, it can take a lot of water in choppy conditions, so whitewater and waves have to be avoided. With the deck, we've kayaked in 3 to 4 ft swell without any problem

Wind has a big impact on it. It does great facing the wind, but turns when the wind comes from the side. Really challenging when kayaking alone.

A perfect boat for flat water! And for long distances, really fast for an inflatable (2.5 to 3mph)

We have videos with it on our YouTube channel: fartherout

to see it perform in real life

Ken Midas Verified Owner 2/20/2023 5.0 out of 5 stars.

The 473rl , it took a little time to get used to getting the balance but after that everything was great easy to inflate with a 12 volt pump which I highly recommend 👌, paddling is very easy then seaeagle had a article about a small 12volt motor 👍 I am all in on that it works great I highly recommend it worth every dollar, on letting the air out is ez but getting it into the bag 🎒 not ez they need to make the bag a little bigger please send me a larger bag it will make me very happy 😀 on the whole I have had six seaeagle boats and I think this is the best one. You can thank kyack cliff for my purchase because I always watch his reviews he does a very good job on how the boats operate well that's about it, I am a truly seaeagle person 😊

Danny Boulet Verified Owner 12/16/2022 5.0 out of 5 stars.

I got the tandem kayak for my wife and I and we've had it for a year. The tandem kayak is a little large and awkward to carry in it's backpack on your way to water but it inflates easily and quickly, is incredibly sturdy when inflated, and we've had a blast. It handles much more like a hardshell kayak than an inflatable and stores away neatly. I would but this again

Jeff Skovron Verified Owner 12/15/2022 4.0 out of 5 stars.

We've really enjoyed our kayak. Goes together pretty easily and works great on the water. Only complaint is I've never figured out how to get it back in the pack so neatly-it's always sticking out a couple of feet!

Sea Eagle's reply:

Hi Jeff, I recommend watching our instructional video as it really helps for getting the kayak deflated and back in the bag! - youtu.be/quNuRkXFQpU

Key Features

The RazorLite™ Kayak's Straight Hull Design

The RazorLite™ Kayak's Straight Hull Design

An important and unique feature of the RazorLite™ Kayak is its straight hull design which provides the maximum straight hull waterline length. This feature combined with the very narrow kayak width (25" at the waterline) allows the RazorLite™ to paddle as fast as any rigid kayak. The Bow and stern molds are made of durable plastic and cut through the wind, waves, current, and water like a sharp edge straight razor on a clean close shave. With superior length to width ratio, razor sharp bow entry, straight line planing surface and a precision razor sharp stern exit at the rear these inflatable kayaks are in a performance league of their own.

The RazorLite™ Kayak's Unique Bow and Stern Design with Tapered Side Walls

The RazorLite™ Kayak's Unique Bow and Stern Design with Tapered Side Walls

The RazorLite™ Kayak's rigid bow and stern molds create the worlds very first speed entry system that leads into a double concave and then opens into a flat planing surface. The double concave design at bow allows pockets of air to enter in between the hull and the water creating lift while reducing friction and drag. The double concave at stern creates a super clean exit. The Tapered Drop Stitch Side Walls provide a rigid chine at the waterline and secondary buoyancy and stability. These features combine to enable the RazorLite™ to glide quickly and effortlessly through the water!

Bow and Stern Molds

Bow and Stern Molds

The RazorLite™ Kayak's rigid bow and stern molds create a razor sharp speed entry and exit system. The bow mold cuts through the water effortlessly at a high velocity. The water then meets the carefully designed Tapered Side Walls creating lift while reducing friction and drag, then exits just as fast as it entered at the stern mold leaving little to no wake behind.

The World's First and Only Kayak Made Entirely Of Drop Stitch Material

The World's First and Only Kayak Made Entirely Of Drop Stitch Material

The patented Sea Eagle RazorLite™ High Performance Ultra Light Kayak is the world's first and only inflatable kayak made entirely with Drop Stitch Technology throughout! This kayak uses 3" Drop Stitch material for the floor and 4" Drop Stitch material for the side walls. Our Drop Stitch material uses thousands of high tensile strength threads connecting the top and bottom fabric layers, creating thousands of I-beam supports. This enables the RazorLite™ to be inflated to a much higher pressure (10 psi) than other kayaks (3-4 psi) which increases overall rigidity. The unique Drop Stitch construction makes the RazorLite™ as fast as any rigid kayak in it's class and provides the added benefit of being able to pack in its own backpack. The RazorLite™ is as tough as nails, incredibly rigid, ultra light, and a delight to paddle. U.S. Patent 9,452,809
