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.

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.

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.

Bought this kayak in orange over July 4th weekend on a whim. Figured my wife and I could enjoy some fun while getting some exercise in a new sport that would allow us to participate together. The kayak is a bit heavy, but easily handled by two persons. The seat backs are moulded plastic held in place by snap-in mounts and adjustable side straps. While not the most comfortable seatbacks, they do the job for the intended purpose of a kayak at this price point. The rear "handle" is a moulded grip point, not the best but it works. I intend to add a corded handle as is on the front to aide in transport. The kayak tracks well in the open but protected bay and in the local water control canals. I'm 6', she's 5'6" and we both fit comfortably in this kayak. We transport it utilizing the stock roof racks on a 2dr Ford Explorer - easy enough done by one person once you get the procedure under your belt. All in all, a great value for enjoying some fun on the water.

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 took our new Kokanee kayak Labor day weekend to Cocoa Beach Fla, We had a great time but after the 3rd trip out we notice it was very unstable and hard to control. we over turned it, then had to swim back to shore with it in tow. I opened the hatch and seen the hull was full of water. I drained it and double checked the seals and lid tightness. We took it out again and when we came back I check and it took on more water. I suspect it was leaking around the hatches. I took it back to the dealer and they are going to replace it. I will keep you informed.

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.

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.

My wife and I took our new Kokanee kayak out last week for the 1st time since we bought it. I was impressed as to how stable it was. Later, my 18 year old son and his friend took it out and is was so stable, they could stand on it and dive off of it. No trouble getting back on it either.

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!
