Great value for the price!
This is my first inflatable kayak, so set up and inflation solo took some time, but with practice, will definitely go faster next time. After some trial and error, I partially inflated each of the two sides before placing and inflating the floor piece. Then I inflated the 2 sides the remaining way full. ~Tip: twist and quickly pull the pump hose straight out after inflation, so the pin is in the up (closed) position. This prevents deflation upon disconnecting the pump hose.The kayak is well made and handled great in a busy and wavy lake. The seat supplied is comfortable ( I only used one in the rear of the kayak). I stored my gear up front. I only used one skeg in the rear, which worked great. The manual pump works well. I used and electric pump for deflation. I have my own carbon fiber paddle, so I didn't need the 2 sets that were provided. I was able to repack everything into the large, sturdy carry bag.I like the portability and easy transport of this kayak. I camp a lot and can't store or transport a hard shell kayak. Overall, this is a great kayak that I plan to use often on rivers and lakes throughout the year. Very satisfied with my purchase!

Great Price for Quality
The media could not be loaded. We own hard shell kayaks and a couple of inflatable paddle boards, but we wanted something that we could travel with a little more that were not the paddle boards. We previously owned a 2 seater kayak -- that eventually got a hole in it and would not patch correctly. We decided to try a higher quality one and this fit the bill. I like the size of it as well as the 500+ lb. capacity. The floor is an inflated insert that becomes stiff like a paddle board and you don't sink into it when you get in. We found that if you partially inflate the sides then place the insert in the floor it all inflates much better.There is a lot of raft here and getting it into the carry bag after use will take a little work but honestly not a big deal. The quality on the materials is great and I like the rubber clips for the paddles on the sides. The raft rides high and is faster than I expected.One thing I didn't like so much was the 3 piece paddles. The connectors end up right where my hands go -- but this makes sense if you are looking to save space and fit the paddles into the bag. Upgrading the paddles to ones you may like would be my only consideration.We are very pleased and are looking forward to using it more in the future. We would purchase this again and recommend it.

Budget inflatable with high end features but poor accessories
I started Kayaking last year and do not have room or desire to have a hard shell kayak and my first inflatable was an Intex K1 a Green little kayak for 80 dollars. It did what I needed it but lets be honest it's a pool toy and it developed a leak at the seem after a few uses.I run a small river here that can get shallow in places only has class 1 or 2 rapids. I also use it on lakes in the area.I then got a sea eagle 370, and to be honest it was bigger and still is a little better pool toy but can fit 2 people but I wouldn't feel comfortable taking that on the river so I use for only lakes.I then discovered that there are much nicer inflatables that have high pressure drop stitch floors. High quality inflatable sides thick so punctures are least likely on rocks etc.However the price goes up from like $80-300 for the pool toy kayaks up to 800+ to around$1200, for the nice ones which is understandable.I was looking at the Driftsun 220 Rover and Sea Eagle 380X, before purchasing this and these are also tandem so I can take my girlfriend along to the river etc and feel confident the kayak will last years not months.I came across this kayak and noticed it has the high end features of the more expensive models listed here, similar design , high pressure drop stitch floor , foot rest etc. The price however is a fraction of these other models with these features so rather than buy another pool toy I decided to give this a try.I will update when I use it on water but I received and first impressions are it seems of good quality.It is a little hard at first to set up having to figure out the inflatable system.#1 the pump was pretty useless and huge like a bicycle pump, I ended up using my Driftsun 120 Rover pump which was much more compact and efficient but also uses the same nozzles for inflation , so I would recommend investing in a good hand pump.2nd The other challenge was I would have it inflated to pressure but as soon as I disconnected the pump all the air came out. It took me a while to figure out there is a button on the kayak port nozzles you click them kind of like a pen, click once it is open click again it is closed, however you never really know what position it is in without a little air in it first ,the trick is to click into the open positions before you attached the pump as when you attach the pump it then will depress the button so when you remove the pump after inflation it is in the closed position otherwise all the air comes out when you disconnect.Once I figured this out the kayak actually inflated with a good quality hand pump very fast, much faster than a Intex or sea eagle pool toy quality Kayak.There are 3 total chambers to fill up including the drop stitch floor and it took maybe 10 min total to fill to pressure, once you know how to operate the ports.You fill the sides to 2psi and then place the deflated drop stitch floor and tuck under the pontoons on the inside then pump up the drop stitch floor to 7 to 8 PSI and the floor is hard and firm.So far raft quality is five stars from what I can see , pump is 1 star it's huge and doesn't work well.Ok next took a long time to figure out and here is where quality is missing. The seats are cheap uncomfortable and I spent a good amount of time trying to adjust them to get them in a good position for two people. As I was installing one of the seats I noticed the stitching on one of the seats was pulling away where there was tension.The foot rest on the rear seemed to be in a decent position but the front was way too close to be of any use even in the max distance if you have two adults. I sat in the seats and my back was sore after a few min just testing them out. Feels like just sitting on the ground due to the drop stitch floor. Ok granted I was used to a pool toy kayaks with inflatable seats so I think the take away here is to also invest in a good quality seat and cushion.The two skeg design is a head scratcher I already know I'm not putting the front skeg in only the rear for lakes and no skeg on rivers.The bag it comes with is not very good , better than Intex but doesn't compare to the Driftsun backpack style , I ended up storing this in a sea eagle shoulder bag you can buy on Amazon.Would recommend folding the edges then rolling this to store as trying to duplicate the fold they shipped in seems like it will frey the edges of the material and possible create a tear or hole over time.So in summary , good quality on the kayak itself love the paddle holders , very long kayak and much bigger than I expected. So def worth the price but you will need a better storage transport bag , better pump , and better seats , so you save money here but expect to spend money to get this to be on par with more expensive models.I also learned to get your own paddle no matter what kayak you purchase as that makes a huge difference, yes they come with paddles but if anything invest in a good quality paddle sized right , longer paddles help with inflatables most are flimsy and way to short.Even with purchasing additional better items for this I think this may be a ok trade off as you can select your seat and bag and paddle and that can move to any future kayak and this still is cheaper than the higher end ones by a large margin.If you can get a Driftsun Rover 220 on sale it might be a better buy but for now this $320 kayak is much cheaper than the $899 Driftsun 220 Rover even with extra purchases mentioned here.The other downside to this is only one drain port so don't expect to be doing any serious white water rafting , class one and two would be fine and I think this may actually be nice on the lake as it's a nice long and narrow inflatable.I'll update when I take this out on water and give my impressions but for now I would say 4 stars as you get a good quality boat but sacrifice other amenities in the process, but if you want to try this style of inflatable kayak I think this is the cheapest you can get with these kind of high quality features on the kayak and for me that was the deciding factor.Update: I've taken this kayak out twice in a lake and I have to say this is a great kayak for the money. It performs well and is easy to inflate and deflate , it sits low in the water and had great control with one rear fin and was not slow in water. The storage for the paddles on the side is also surprisingly very handy to have. I noticed water does accumulate under the drop stitch floor and the single drain valve gets maybe 90% of it but not all. With the addition of the seat cushion and my own paddle , I am thinking of picking up another one and replacing my cheap inflatable ones. I easily could paddle just by myself with two people in the kayak.Update 2 I also took this on the river with my Girlfriend and no fin and it performed really well it was a little harder without the fin to control but it was manageable and felt extremely stable and was more confident in this kayak. On white water it def filled up and I was sitting in water but we stopped halfway for a snack and I was able to drain most of the water out by the drain plug. Again if getting soaked alot this will accumulate water inside so be aware but it's great in the river and lakes and I plan to purchase another and get rid of my Sea Eagle 370 there is no comparison between the two it's a much better raft than the sea eagle.

Sturdy, easy to set up.
We go kayaking about once a week and needed a second kayak. This one is easy to set up. Takes about 5 minutes? Works great in the water. Has a carrying bag so the kayak and all is items for in it so you just have one thing to carry, which is not to heavy. The pump is pretty big and makes it quick and easy to inflate. After your done, opening the valves and deflating the kayak is really quick. We've taken it on the lake and also on the river with rapids. One of our friends that goes kayaking every week said the quality of this kayak is comparable to his $500.00 kayak.

Awesome kayak!
I’ve been waiting to leave a review until I took this kayak out a few times and I am very happy with this purchase!! The portability and sturdiness of the kayak is amazing! Plenty of room for everything you need to bring out on the water! I did a lot of searching for an inflatable kayak and I am glad I went with this one! If you are patient and take your time learning how to fold it back up properly it fits in the bag just fine with the seats as well don’t listen to these other reviews on that! I definitely recommend this kayak if you are looking for an inflatable! And I plan to buy another to get more of the family out on water! Thank you!
