These kayaks are great for family adventures. They are heavy (require 2 adults to lift!) but so stable in the water. I was able to take two kids (5 and 8) out on the bay and they were jumping off and climbing back in without issue. Warning your butt will get wet due to the scupper holes, but the self draining is a huge plus! These boats are well worth the price. In the first two weeks we’ve had them we’ve been on 4 daylong trips with one adult and one or two kids plus a cooler and fishing gear or beach chairs in the boat. Bay, rivers, and lakes. All handled perfectly. Perfect starter kayaks for families. Well worth the money.

I bought this during a Sam's sale and found the kayak well worth the money. It is sturdy and well designed except for the fact that the rear hand hold is inadequate for holding properly. This kayak has some weight, and one person would have trouble with it. The customer service from Lifetime is exceptional.

I've had this kayak for a while now. i've used it in lakes and in the ocean. i've launched into surf with no problem (we did get wet). the seats got lost over time and customer service sent me new seats, no questions asked! its a bit heavy for one person but i've paddled out on it by myself. stable in the water. easy to add modifications. the only drawback is no netting or anything else inside the "storage holes"

Had this kyak for some time and it is great for me and my daughter to tandem with. I had a problem with the seats. Lifetime was great with replacement parts. One email and they had me what I needed and back on the water. That’s great customer service.

This is an excellent choice for a tandem sit-on kayak. Also has room for storage, and can also be used for fishing. But even more important to note is their exceptional customer service. They were very professional and helpful. My kayak was missing one of the hatch covers… they are sending me out another one. Many thanks!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kayak is a bit heavy, but easily handled by two persons and we are very impressed as to how stable it is and how smooth navigate in the water. It's a perfect size for us, just 10ft long so it fits perfectly on my RV rack.

My family and I are building memories with our Lifetime kayak. One of the best investments we've made as a family and we couldn't be happier. What I love about our Kokanee is its versatility to shuffle the seats, in the case that you don't want to have two people on the kayak. You can move the seat to the middle position and take it out by your self. Its a great feature. Plenty of storage. Wont break your back packing it around. Love it. If you could put some money down of something and be guaranteed a heart full of memories. This would be it. -Cheers

We bought our first kayak, the Kokanee, from the first owner of it. We're really happy with it, it's easy to maneuver with one or two people and we've never been close to tipping it. It is a little heavy to load onto the top of our Jeep, but not unmanageable. The straps for the chairs were messed up when we got it and I called customer service to see about buying new straps for them. Ian was super helpful - he asked me for the numbers on the kayak and found that the kayak was still under warranty. So they sent me replacement straps for the chairs for free, even though I wasn't the original owner! This kayak and the customer service has made it easy for us to have fun kayaking and if we get another kayak we'll definitely look into the Lifetime products. Thanks Lifetime!

I have this kayak which I love . About a month ago I lost one of the hatch covers on the way home. I contacted customer service about a replacement. They contacted me back and told me one was on it's way at no charge! Totally unexpected, wow! this company stands behind its product and has great customer service! Thanks to Brenna for going the extra step for me!

I bought this for my daughters to share until my youngest gets comfortable enough to have her own. They’ve used it a couple of times (13 y/o, 5’9” and 7 y/o, 4’8”) and had no issues and fit fine. I also took my 7 year old out (I’m 6’) and we had no issues. Now this thing is HEAVY. It’s every bit of the 77 lbs or whatever it states, although feels even heavier. And it’s wider than usual so quite awkward to load on top of an SUV solo. Definitely recommend adding handles to the sides. That’s one of the first things we did. It’s slow moving in the water but we’re also more relaxed kayakers so works fine for us. It’s stable and tracks just fine. The seat backs are comfortable and a good height for lumbar support but you’ll definitely need to get a cushion for your butt. We got some ozark stadium cushions from Walmart and they worked perfectly.
