Perfect kayak

Perfect kayak for the lake. Light and manageable with handles for carrying. Light paddle makes maneuvering very easy.

Kayak with me

Is light enough that it is easy to get to the water and sturdy enough that you don't need to worry about it tipping over. Love it

Love The Kayak and The Customer Service!

I received this kayak three years ago as a gift and I have had so much fun with it! It is incredibly stable (my grandchildren climb off and on it with me and it barely rocks), tracks nicely on our lake and has all the features I wanted for flat water. The customer service from Lifetime has been exemplary. I have only had two issues in three years - the front handle broke and the drain plug tether broke resulting in the loss of the drain plug. Both times it was easy to contact Lifetime and they quickly sent me replacements and their agents were very pleasant. I also purchased Lifetime children's kayaks for my grandchildren from which they have received many hours of entertainment.

Good little boat!

I love the fact that I can carry it and load it into the back of my Explorer by myself. Do wish there was some sort of hand grip for carrying, I'm working on that before next trip. I noticed I had to paddle a little more than those in the sit-in style Kayak, but guess that's expected with the flatter bottom. We did a 5 hour Buffalo River float, the back rest (which can be adjusted) and seating was quiet comfortable. Can't wait to take it out again.

Great sit on kayak for being out on Lake Cherokee

I have both a good sit in and good sit on. Grandchildren coming so needed one more so everyone could have their own. The reviews on line for this one were sort of all over the place. But overall it seemed folks would buy it again. I was able to have it sent directly to my local Walmart and it arrived before the promised date. No damage or problems at all (which some reviews spoke to having). I was actually able to get it in my Murano although the front touched the dash. But as single woman, love to be able to get it myself. Got it in the water, and it is sweet. I used one of my good paddles as think paddle not the best, but probably ok. Had a little trouble, out on the water, getting the seat to sit up more, but I accomplished. Took it for a spin and because it is flat and light, it went right over some rather shallow places. i was happy with that. Overall, love it and will probably use it myself over the much more expensive, and heavy to get down to lake ones.

Packaging and damage

My Kayak arrived in a loose plastic wrap that was torn open and very loose making it difficult to handle and move about. Also one of the plastic loops that holds the bungee cord to store item while in use was broken during shipment. I will contact customer service and see if they can ship a replacement.

Fixing it myself

On the second use the carrying handle broke lose from the boat. Not sturdy enough and not well made.

Kayak is NOT the one in the photographs!

Returned because the kayak in the photos is not the same as was received. The one I picked up did not have a handle on the side, the seat was a hard molded seat with a flimsy metal hinge attaching it to the kayak, and the molding was/shape was different. The paperwork was all correct, it had a "lotus" sticker on it. Disappointed.
