Sea Eagle 393rl Inflatable Kayaks and Canoe Reviews

The setup is rather fast. Paddles nicely. This is not a pool toy, it is solid. When I'm done and packed up is lives in the back of my truck under a cover and nobody knows its there.

This is the first kayak I’ve ever owned,

but I had been out on the water many times in both hard shells and inflatables. I would say this boat handles as well as the hard shells. I’ve been in before and much better than any inflatable. It is super fast. Very easy to transport. I am 61, female, with disabilities, and I am able to Get it in and out of my car, inflate and deflate etc. on my own. That’s the biggest selling point for me. It really is a mid level boat in terms of your kayak experience. Someone new to the water may find that it is a little too tippy for them. When my adult son with no experience gave it ago the first time he tipped it, but I’ve been fine. If you are really new to kayaking, it may not be as stable as you would like . It does not do well with boat wakes or wind either. Am considering getting the white water model as well so I can handle more varied conditions.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment using my razorlite. It is quick, easy to transport and set up. I've taken this boat out several times this season and really enjoyed it. I can bring it with me without it taking up too much room without a roof rack, trailer or truck to transport it. It tacks well and is quite comfortable to paddel.

Bought direct from sea eagle in March, and have taken it paddling to various local lakes and rivers over 30 times in last 6 months. It’s been a joy to head out paddling whenever with all gear including kayak all stowed in car trunk. It’s stood up well to many inflates and foldings for storing in trunk. Plugging the sea eagle electric pump into vehicle to inflate the main floor chamber and using hand pump to inflate the two side chambers takes ~5 minutes. Usually all set to put in with 15 minutes. Deflate and loading back up takes 10 minutes.

This is an amazing boat. Fast, sturdy, quick to inflate, simple but strong. It's a huge upgrade from my prior inflatable and has greatly expanded my exploratory distances on the water. I definitely find its primary stability tippy, but I got used to it quickly and now like it -- and I find the secondary stability is good and it's difficult to tip all the way over. It is difficult to carry around when inflated (esp. due to lack of a center handle) -- and I'm a bigger guy, so not sure how smaller people would deal with that. I agree with others that it's difficult to put into the backpack, so I've stopped doing that and just use the backpack to carry all of the supplies and that works out great. All in all a great purchase.

I love my Seaeagle 393rl. I travel a lot, by car, and now I don't have to miss out on amazing kayaking. I travel from New England to the Midwest at least twice a year. Now I have the ability to stop anywhere along the way and go kayaking. It takes me about 7 minutes to assemble my kayak and be on the water. I also go camping a lot in my vehicles and this easily fits in my car. It has opened up even more of the great outdoors for me.

Quick to set up and is very stable. I love how smooth it glides through the water, much nicer than many hard shell kayaks. Looking at buying a second for my girlfriend so we can enjoy the water together.

Even at age 90, I found the RazorLite single kayak to be just what I wanted: light weight, easy to handle in the water and on shore, sturdy and fast. I agree with the recommendations that this boat is for experienced kayakers, which I am. It performs best in calmer waters but I was caught in a gusty storm with 1-2 foot troughs and cross-winds, yet felt safe and in control. The boat came in good condition, I managed all assembly and inflation with the BP12 from SeaEagle. I needed help with the rods for foot rests. I do not recommend the seat that came with it so substituted a low-back rest and non-skid cushion. I do recommend a light-weight paddle. The boat is stored throughout the winter inflated in an unheated garage and seems to be fine. I was drawn to the kayak by the drop stitch construction and it exceeds my expectations. I recommend it highly to experienced kayakers and have come to trust SeaEagle's quality, support and products.

Bought two of these for our first kayaks direct for Sea Eagle. Customer service was about as easy as it could get. Like some others have said maybe a bit unstable for the first 10-20 minutes but after that never another issue. Would definitely show full review ▼ buy again.

Fantastic product! Fast and fun to paddle. More stable than feared.
