Sea Eagle SE 330 Inflatable Kayaks and Canoe Reviews

Unfortunately our experience has been less than stellar. We have had an inflatable canoe for over a decade which we have used to travers a local water way. On our first trip our, our SE330 hit a rock and took a large gash. Considering this is a whitewater device, we would have expected it to be able to travers the waters we frequent.

Absolutely love my kayak, I just bought my second boat so I can have a friend join me. The most comfortable kayak out there. Really built for one person (and child, essentials, and dog ) comfortably. Easy to navigate and control. Not as tippy as a rigid kayak. Easy to inflate or deflate. My first kayak came with a carry bag (worth the additional cost) but not this one. I purchased a extra large bag from Amazon as it would be difficult handling or storage, With a large bag (xlarge hockey bag), you can also store your paddle, life jacket, water shoes, repair kit, pump, seats, rope and first aid. I have compared but prefer Sea Eagle. Used in the Florida keys, the lakes in Ontario and the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in New Brunswick - you can take it anywhere! I highly recommend. Also recommend one kayak per person (for this model)

I purchased my Sea Eagle in March of 2020 after extensive research to find an inflatable kayak that was highly rated for dogs. My adventure girl-Jessie and I got through the pandemic of 2020 by paddling many of the lakes here in Arizona. I always tell people my kayak is really Jessie's boat and I'm just the captain. Every time we kayak people always look at my Sea Eagle in wonder and ask what type of kayak it is and how I like it. By now, I could be a Sea Eagle informercial. The kayak skin is exceptionally thick and strong and can easily handle a 60 lb canine companion. It inflates and deflates rather quickly and does not lose air. The one-way valves used on the Sea Eagle are well thought out and not like the cheap valves you find on a raft. Being tall, I purchased the Deluxe seat and it is SO comfortable and the higher back really helps with that comfort. Having 2 skegs on the bottom are great with tracking although it would be great if the skegs were removeable as they tend to bend.

Overall good. However, customer support seems non-existent. I sent two queries over a few months without a reply. The problem is with the inflation ruler. The lines never match up, so one doesn't know what the proper inflation is.

I love this kayak. I take it on lakes in NM and CO. Fits me and my two small kids perfectly. Fills up easily, easy to carry and cart around. I will probably buy a bigger one at some point. I love this kayak so much, so worth the money.

Not as sturdy as I thought it would be...overturns easily!

This is my second Sea Eagle. Thought I was too old to continue (85) so sold it. Thought differently and purchased another Sea Eagle. Love it. Looking forward to this summer and water.

While I love my Sea Eagle 330 for so many reasons, it does have a huge problem The primary issue is the difficulty in tracking. I would ask that you create a removable plastic foot peg accessory that fits into the inflated kayak. Beyond that, it’s a lot of fun on calm days just to get out and be in nature.

Works great but when it catches the wind, it is hard to propel. I have only used it on the Snake River but looking for other waters to play on.

We purchased two SE330 intended for solo use. We will return one and maybe keep one and here is why:

We want to upgrade from Intex Challenger 2 inflatable for durability and comfort. I found a nice pond in mid-January to test drive our new Sea Eagle. We found the set up easy, the material quality great, the seats are great for back support and a higher seat for comfort. The light weight and speed are great. Getting in and out of the water was easy and the floor strong enough to step on to support entry and exit......However, being rated for 500 pounds, with only one person it rides too high, so is tippy and would be scary in any kind of fast or rough water. The cockpit is very narrow because the sides are too big - they hold a lot of air and space but don't even touch the water. This is a 1-person boat. Period. we tried to sit two of us and no-way. There is no foot support and no way to jury-rig anything, and no way to change positions for long paddling comfort. This boat needs a redesign.
