I bought the Kayak a few months back as something my wife and I could use when our kids went off to college. We've been out a few times in the Oceanside Harbor, and have had a blast. I built a trailer to haul it from the truck to the water. The kayak is a bit heavy, but work great when in the water. I wish the rear handle was easier to grip, and the seat backs were more secure, but all in all it's well worth the money.

This is a great beginner kayak. We've only used it on flat water, but works well there. Also, even though it's a 2-person Kayak, we were able to fit 2 adults + 1 smaller child without any issues. Lifetime has great customer service as well in replacing a part which was damaged during shipping!

I read a lot of reviews on different kayaks before deciding on this one. I'll give my two cents on the pros and cons of this model: Pro: it's big and stable. My wife and kids were jumping into the water and climbing back onto this kayak while I was in the rear seat and it never felt close to tipping. It will never win any races, but because of its mass once you get it moving it keeps moving and tracks better than expected. If you are looking for a stable swim platform/ touring kayak, this one can fit the bill. Cons: it's big and stable. Yes, this is both its best pro and con. This thing is big and heavy. It took my family of four to get it up onto the roof rack. If you are a competitive power lifter you'll have no problem with this thing, or if you have a location where you will be sliding it in and out of the water, but if you have to load it up onto a rack you better have some strong helpers. Overall it was a good choice for me, but I might have to trailer it at some point in the future. Mine came with one of the backrest buckles cracked, and with one call to Lifetime I had a new one in a couple of days, so their customer service is very good.

Bought this and a Pacer for my boys' birthdays. Tried them out for the first time today. Good times! The Kokanee is quite stable. It's a little heavy and bulky on land, but handled easily enough by two people. Handles well in the water. I purchased padded seat bottoms, as I was told a long trip would be uncomfortable without them. Only complaint I can possible come up with is it was missing a couple small parts.

I bought this kayak about a year ago and I love every piece of it. Kayak is built strong, I was able to fit my two kids (5 and 7 Years old) my wife and myself comfortably, kayak is very stable even with three adults in it. You will have hours of fun and entertainment with this Kayak without spending too much money.

Great kayak, i like that the seats are taller than most kayak seats and give lower and mid back support. Cant beat the price, got on sale for $275. Vs. Green one for $385. The two water tight storage are great, no bag so you can store larger items. The kayak body is solid and no cracks along edges like other kayaks seem to have. Added a handle to the back for easier lifting. I would recommend this kayak.

Bought last year and right away the cheap plastic seats buckle in the middle according to lifetime they do not have a upgrade or even recommend one the way the seat straps are you will have to modify the attachment to the kayak as i have not found a attachment like lifetime has on kayak so add more money to kayak to be able to use

We've had this kayak for a few years and have really had some great times in salt and fresh water. Plenty of room for 3 plus our dog. I recently misplaced a screw-on cap for the internal storage area and sent a note to customer service asking for the best way to order that replacement part. Before I knew it, they replied and said the part was on the way to me, no charge! Excellent customer service. I am sure there is no guarantee that all parts will be handled the same, but this was a great example of service!

Best customer service, great products and definitely recommend to anyone buying Lifetime products.

I needed a replacement hatch cover and Lifetime customer service thoroughly impressed me. Thanks!
