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.

We paddled around a lake on this kayak for 3 days and quite enjoyed it. As many other reviewers mentioned, it’s not designed to go fast but rather for its capacity and stability. While it’s no problem for 2 of the 180lbs+ members of my family to paddle together on the Lifetime Kokanee, I find it easier to navigate as a single kayak due to the lighter load. Overall, I highly recommend this kayak if you want a well-priced sit-on kayak with the flexibility of paddling double. One thing I want to mention about This pick up order is that it arrived 3 days after the estimated delivery date- I was almost worried that it wouldn’t arrive before our camping trip as there was no tracking information available online. Good thing it finally came! I really appreciated the staff for helping us load the kayak onto the roof rack.

An excellent open kayak that comfortably fits two grown adults. Great construction and like its name, will last a Lifetime. My son is 6' 4" and I'm 5' 11" and there is plenty of room for the both of us. The kayak is a little heavy for one person to easily load up on the car, but can be done. Once in the water the kayak is very stable and easy to maneuver. The storage compartment runs the entire length of the kayak giving plenty of storage room. The adjustable seat backs are comfortable and are easy to remove and relocate to go from a tandem to a single person kayak. Plenty of scupper holes throughout the kayak. I highly recommend this product. I received this as a gift and when I got it one of the storage covers were missing. Called the Lifetime costumer service and they sent one free of charge.

We bought this kayak for use in a pond near our home. We have 2 young grandchildren and the sit on top tandem is perfect for getting them on the water. The kayak is sturdy--a bit heavy--but stable and comfortable with an adult and 2 smalls. The kids love getting on and paddling. However, the seat design is poor. Seats are movable and anchored by a series of straps and clips that pop off the moment any real weight is placed against the seat backs. This makes comfortable sitting on the kayak a challenge. We have already lost one clip and must continuously reattach the others. I wish the seat backs were molded vinyl that slid into various slots. Again, great for young children and especially for relaxed, short distance paddling.

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!

I bought this kayak for double duty as a tandem for the family and a solo for myself. It is a little small for a true tandem, but when the front seat is removed and the rear seat is moved to the center position, it works well as a solo. The nice thing about this short tandem boat is that it's easy to haul in the bed of a truck, no rack required. The only space for flush-mount pole holders is on the rear, which kind of interferes with the cargo net back there. I also need to install some carry handles on the sides for solo trips- it's heavy for a solo kayak. I had the kayak shipped to my house. It came with two small holes on either side of the rear. I was able to plastic weld the HDPE back together with scraps from my pole-holder installation. Overall, I am satisfied with this kayak for what it is.

We bought a single kayak this summer and tried it out not sure what we had got into..... It was so much fun and had a blast we were fighting over who got to go out next. My husband and I decided when we got home to get a second one and went with a double so we could go out together. We had even more fun. If you are looking for some fun and on the water or just want to enjoy some peaceful alone time on the water then I would not hesitate at all!

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 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.

This kayak is great for calm waters, rivers and sea, two adults fit very well, it is a little heavy but once in the water you will have a pleasant trip
