Sea Eagle 393rl Inflatable Kayaks and Canoe Reviews

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.
