I got this kayak for Christmas and was very excited to try it out. I had to wait for it to warm up so it took a while to go. Have taken 4 trips and kayak takes on water every time, so much that after less than an hour I have to be back on shore. At first I thought it was me doing something wrong, but found a crack in the seam underneath the kayak. Kayak is so full of water 2 grown men cannot pick it up but have to turn it over to drain before putting it back on the truck. Submitted a warranty claim and still have not had a response. I have called multiple times and the office is closed or too many calls in front of me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for hubby who loves to fish and can't afford a boat. Comfortable to sit in forming periods of time. Has just enough room to carry his equipment. Bought a cart from lifetime also so he can roll it to the lake on his own. Of course we use it when the family goes out to play. Great quality!,

Purchased mine on sale for a lifetime store. Took it out for the first time last week and since it was my first time on a kayak it was really weird. After a little bit I was really comfortable moving and fishing in it. Haven't used the dry compartment but its huge. The holes up where the legs go are kind of irritating because water comes in them and gets on your pant legs but when its hot who cares. It was the best fishing trip by far, caught allot of Crappie on it.

I got this for Mother’s Day! I have borrowed my son’s Pelican fishing kayak for the last year and I had NO idea there could none that much of a difference in comfort and balance. My 5 year old sits between my legs on this and we are able to both fit comfortably and I can paddle and fish just fine! My son now wants to sell his Pelican and get a lifetime! ❤️

I have enjoyed the kayak during several outings. Be aware the seat is not that comfortable and the cheap plastic strap attachments break easily. Love the rod holders! Cup holder and water bottle holder not really functional. Items in hatch storage will slide around and get wet, so dry bags that fit will be needed.

I got two of these for my sons, 9 and 10. I didn't want to spend the money on a 12' for them because I didn't know if they would love them or not. My thought was that I would need to upgrade them in a year or two. These things are awesome! I'm 6' 230lb and I can totally use them. I should have saved more money and bought myself one of these!

I'm a newbie to kayaking and also wanted to be able to fish. I bought the combo package ( 2 kayaks) and they came faster than expected. It seemed quite large but then it isn't when you're on it. It tracks fairly well..as far as I can tell. The "2 compartments" are actually just ports into the hull without a divider. The only other recommendation I would make is the information on the paddle size (cm) and if it floats. I have no clue what size it is, but it does float after testing. I added some floating ball scuppers that I'd seen on Youtube and they work perfectly. I'm hoping to have a lot of fun on them.

I have two different Lifetime Kayak models. Called to replace a torn kayak backrest pad and was pleasantly advised that as a first time incident, they would replace the item at no cost to me. The customer service department was extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you, Lifetime !!!

We bought this kayak last week and it handled great on its maiden voyage. The rod holder worked great. Unfortunately one of the seat buckles broke but Lifetime customer service was excellent and immediately shipped a replacement part at no charge. Looking forward to many more adventures on our local lakes and the Russian River.

I purchased mine 3 years ago very happy ! I bought it as a beginner an kept it as a pro. My buddies have quite expensive kayaks & are always changing up & never happy with what they buy Something is always wrong with those pricey kayaks. Not to mention that they can’t get them out of their trucks to the water. Too Heavy. Mine is light weight @ a base weight of 52 lbs its a breeze. Even with a bad back ! Something to consider when purchasing a kayak An don’t forget your going to be less enthused about lugging it back up to your vehicle after a long day on the water. I’ve upgraded about everything on my kayak. Seat, paddle, Yac & Scotties fly fishing pole holder, & depth & fish finder etc etc. Love it !! & you will too !! It’s not for the rapids by any means Just a nice day on the water I plan on using mine for a Lifetime ! Very safe & stable
