Sea Eagle SE 330 Inflatable Kayaks and Canoe Reviews

The vinyl and the valves used hold it air in very well I have a dock and I injured my back and I left the boat on the dock for about three months with a cover and it did not lose very much air in fact I move the boat with the air in it to its winter location. I find that the team at sea eagle were very cooperative and easy to get a hold of so my questions were answered as they came up. If you need a portable reasonably priced kayak This will be the One good luck

This boat was my answer to kayaking without having a truck or roof rack.

I’m a senior citizen, and upper body strength is not great. So having a kayak in a bag I can easily inflate and get to the water was key.

My SE330 is the most comfortable, easy to handle watercraft I have ever found. Not only is it remarkably versatile for individualized fun, it saved me from 2' of muck and an aggressive tree all alone in a MO lake by Not flipping over and I was able to pull myself out to safety. The skegs on the bottom give great tracking on breezy days for efficient paddling. The seat inflation creates an optimum center of gravity for almost any size person. The independent chambers give me a sense of safety that some part of this kayak is going to stay afloat in the unlikely event of air loss. The material is so durable, I've enjoyed mine for 10 years and counting. I recommend it to all the people who continuously ask me about it. Get one! You won't regret it.

I like these kayaks but they are impossible to use in windy conditions. It’s just to difficult to keep the wind from turning the boat sideways.

We launch from our boat, so the fact that it is easily inflatable and deflatable is a plus. When the kayaks were delivered we inflated the 330 and tried it out in a swimming pool. We found it to be very tippy and were concerned that we had made an error. It turned out to be perfect for our young grandchildren and they really enjoyed it. Since then, we've taken it out into the North Shore bays and have managed to get on and off the kayak from the swim platform without undue difficulty. When underway it is stable, extremely maneuverable and a lot of fun. I would not recommend it for more than one regular size adult. I think that it is great for young children, but for adults, I'd go with the 370.

This kayak is “ the bomb”…. So easy!!! So sweet. I love this sooo much!!!! We go out every week…. All the gals I paddle with have hard kayaks… mine is easy to carry , easy to maneuver, beautiful and just fun fun fun. Love it!!!!

The 330 is good for an adult and a child and excellent for a single person. It is cramped for two adults. We are 5'6" tall, so the 330 would be extremely cramped for taller people. The SE370 (which we also own) is much better for 2 adults. The 330 is easy to inflate and deflate and easy for one adult to carry. It steers well on flat water. We have not tried it on white water. Wind over a few MPH increases the difficulty of steering noticeably. The boat sits a bit high in the water and so present a broad flat surface that wind catches easily. The deluxe seats are excellent. They give good back and are by far the best inflatable seats we have tried. Our 6'2" son feels too high in the boat with the seat cushion inflated, so he deflates it. The supplied paddles are excellent. The foot pump is very good, but we recommend an electric pump because it is much quicker and it deflates the boat more easily.

I've taken my SE330 out alone/in tandem on a very calm river in a gentle breeze, and I've taken it out in tandem in a bay with a stiff breeze. Both were good experiences. Tracking seemed better in the bay (~1ft swells) than on the river. It can be a bit of a struggle to get up to speed and maneuver with two people. Boat does feel a bit cumbersome, and I don't think the fear of brushing against something sharp enough to puncture will ever go away completely. Drying the boat off after a trip is probably the most time-consuming part; deflation is fairly quick, and inflation takes 10min at absolute max, usually less.

The kayak does not track straight. We have read and watched videos on this issue with no luck. We have stopped using the kayak because of this-not enjoyable so have not used in months....bad purchase for us-poor quality??

I give it 5 stars what a great boat we love them both and are super happy with them. Very reliable even in the ocean
