Delivered quickly and in mint condition

These 2 kayaks plus paddles with free shipping cost the same as a single kayak with shipping. Now i have one for me plus a friend. Good beginner/recreational boat, and light enough so they're easy to throw on top of the car and carry to the launch (& I'm 5' tall). They also fit nicely inside my van.

Great lake kayaks!

These are perfect for my husband and I to paddle around the lake with our dogs on the front. They fit perfectly in the back of our minivan. They’re exactly what I hoped for and I am really enjoying them! It’s also very comfortable to sit in it for a while. I thought I might have to buy a pad or something, but I have not needed it at all. You can adjust the back of the seat, so it’s very comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Greatly satisfied

The kayaks are stable in the water, easy to load on the top of an Outback, and sized perfectly for an individual kayaker. Sam’s price for a pair was really good too. This is a replacement set of another make of kayaks - we like the Lotus 80s much more.

Love these kayaks...want to but 2 more

These kayaks are my favorite purchase this year. Comfortable, easy to maneuver, adjustable seat, with cup and fishing pole slots. They are light, making them easy to transport. Both my husband and I are novice kayakers. Since purchasing these, we have been on the water every day. The delivery guy from the shipping company was super friendly and communicated with us well before delivery date. The kayaks arrived earlier than expected and in perfect condition. Finally, I am thrilled that these are made and designed in the USA.

I love love love these...

I am a beginner and I am absolutely in love with this sport. These are the best for me. I also drag my family out with me and they too like these... they are stable, easy to get on and off... and glide very nicely through the water. Just an overall GREAT purchase...

Lifetime Lotus kayak

I bought this kayak because I am 5'2" and wanted something small enough that i could load on top of my car roof rack by myself (I'm a 66 y.o. woman). I read all the reviews and have found them to be right on. It tracks well for a relatively short kayak and is very stable. It is for flat water , which is all I wanted and I have no complaints. Lots of you tube videos show different ways to load a kayak. I found the best one for me and I'm happy with my purchase.

I purchased these on the Walmart app for family in California and paid $699. Three weeks later Sam’s has the exact same kayaks for $379.

going on features

Just from unwrapping and readying to use (water is still too cold). Good size. I have 10' ones and they are hard to fit in the bed of my truck, harder in general to move about on land. These 8' are perfectly adequate in size. I love the hard seat back it was perfect with a towel over it for sweat wipe offs. The absolute best was picking them up to store and/or move about on land! Grabbing the hand hole in the middle it fit perfectly under my arm and because they are not 10' long so much easier to walk with. Of course they are lighter but they are sturdy. Great buy!

Okay but pricey

Meh I bought these because thanks to pandemic buying and a plastic shortage, kayaks at a reasonable price are scarce. These I believe are overpriced. I also wanted them to fit in my Crosstour, which they do, so that's a plus. They're not too heavy, 38lbs I think. My daughter and I stack 2 in the hatch, tie them in & go. They track poorly. I have trouble staying straight at all. I paddle hard & sometimes don't get very far at all, so I'm getting a workout. Definitely for flat calm water, which is fine, but don't plan on getting anywhere in a hurry. Comfy for the most part but my feet fall in between 2 rests so I just keep my legs flat. I'm going to want a better boat soon.
