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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its my old neighbor who disabled so I take her out all the time too the lake.i help her with everything cause she has no children off her own.

I purchased a tandem lifetime kayak and I cannot be happier it's sturdy and it's big enough to hold two people comfortably. I had lost one of the lids for the storage holes when I was driving it flew out I called and they're shipping it to me no problem they're not even going to charge me which I would be happy to pay. I honestly cannot be happier.

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!

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!!

My Kayak is great, but customer support the likes of which I received from Hunter elevates my experience to "Excellent"! Call volumes are very high, but he was very helpful and polite! Hunter is an excellent representative of the company and should be promoted immediately!

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.
