The kids love it!!!

We bought this kayak because we like the feature of two people being able to use it at once. The kids love taking it to the lake and paddling around for hours. We have thought about getting another kayak or even a paddle board from lifetime. Love their products and recommend them all the time.

fun kayak

First Kayak I have owned. This kayak needs a better handle in the back to make it easier to carry. The seat backs are just made of plastic and will sometimes pop out of the clips that hold them in place. Other than the handles and seats this is a very fun kayak and I plan to own it for years to come.

Great kayak for the price...

My wife and I bought this for occasional use on our yearly trip to the mountains. We wanted a tandem kayak and looked online for a used kayak. We are not professional kayakers so we weren't looking for an ultra performance kayak. A lot of the used kayaks online were in horrible condition. The new ones (brand names) were well over $1000. So we found this kayak out our local sporting goods store. We've had this for 3 years now and everything works as brand new. The kayak is 10ft long so it's one of the shorter tandem kayaks, which is a perk for us. We bought seat pads and the stock seat backs work well. As mentioned this isn't the most performance kayak out there, buts it's doesn't cost as a performance one does. For occasional trips to the lakes for fun relaxing floating around the water that doesn't brake the bank...This is the perfect kayak.

Good times!

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.

Heavy boat

I just purchased this yesterday for me and my son to use together. It is very heavy for me to move without any side handles. It rides nice and we enjoyed it. I do not like how the center storage compartment is opened up to the width of the seats my stuff slid and was unreachable and after coming back on shore I had to tip the boat all the way up to get it. I will be using some kind of net from not on and leave the strings connected somewhere in the hull. Side envoy sticker ripped when pulling off the plastic cover that was disappointing too.

Sturdy and Fun with Young Children--Poor Seat Design

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.

Great Family and Fishing Kayak

I have owned this kayak for approximately a year now. It has room for two adults and 1 child. I used this last summer with my wife and 10 year old daughter in our local lake. The kayak is very stable and moves at a steady pace even though it has some weight to it. The maneuvering capability is sufficient; you may have to make a few more side to side motions to keep on track while paddling. I also customized this kayak for fishing, and it works out great for stashing gear and holding your poles. Please note that this kayak is heavy, and takes a lot to get used to if you are going to use this by yourself. The size is nice and doesn't look that long, until you try to stand it upright to put on top of your car. I could never get enough holding power, so I installed 3 additional handles so I would be able to pick it up to place on top of the car. I also had to buy an attachment for my bike rack. It's a bar that sticks out and act as a 2nd person once you place the kayak in the corner. Even though there are minor drawbacks to this kayak, I am still giving it 5 stars because the kayak has done everything I've asked of it. The price was also nice, it holds 3 people, and this is a solid body kayak. For family trips and fishing this is a sure thing.

Family Fun!

I bought this Kokanee Kayak as well as the small 6 foot child Kayak. We love them both. Used them many times on the lake this year. The sit on top position makes it extremely easy to use. The Kokanee Kayak is big enough to fit 3 people. My wife and I would paddle with our little one onboard while our 7 year old zipped around us on hers. Looking forward to many years of family fun. The movable seats also allow for a single rider to sit centrally onboard. The width of the kayak is great on choppy water providing stability. Lastly Lifetimes customer service is great. They helped me get extra parts and were fast and friendly. Would recommend there water sports products to everyone.

Good product

This is a well-designed kayak with a solid build quality. It comfortably accommodates two people and offers excellent stability on the water. Its flexibility makes it easy to maneuver, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced paddlers.

VERY STURDY AN!!!D STABLE!!!!

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!
