I’ve had two of these kayaks for about two years now and they look brand new. They are great on the water! Easy to maneuver, quick when needed, and they offer the right amount of stability that my kids are able to play off the side by climbing on and off. I have the seat back and wouldn’t have it any other way. Surprised at the comfort the seat back provides combined with the slots for the various feet positions. I’d highly recommend to anyone in the market for a kayak.

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really happy with my purchase. They are solid beginner kayak's. I weigh 240 and it holds me no problem. Because of how wide they are I think is why they are so stable, so they don't track the best. But I've been in one for hours and have no problems. The seats are pretty good, not great. But for the price you get them for you can upgrade to a comfy seat!

After about 10 trips out I feel like I can give an honest review of this kayak. First off, it is pretty stable and seems to be very tough. It’s light enough one guy can pack it but has handles on front and back as well as both sides for two people to carry. The rod holders are in a good position and the third rod holder is an awesome included feature. Plenty of storage front and back. The paddle that is included seems sturdy and I can really get the kayak moving with it. Tracking seems decent, I did find myself drifting to the left or right at times but overall is decent. All hardware seems to be installed properly. The seat for me is about a 7/10 as far as comfortability, it is adjustable. I would really recommend this kayak to anyone who is looking to purchase their first recreational kayak. Overall I really enjoy using it and it will be used on many more fishing trips!

My family bought six of the Tamarack fishing kayaks two years ago. Over those two years, we had lost a couple of the seat strap clips. I called Lifetime's Customer Service to purchase replacement clips. I needed two, but intended to buy four, just to have extras. But, Lifetime quickly offered to send me 10 for free, not even charging me for shipping. That is above and beyond what I expected. Thank you Lifetime. That earned you a SHOUT-OUT on my Facebook page, too. Also, we bought these kayaks as starter-level for us, and have really enjoyed them. They are stable and easy to use.

We just bought two of these and fish often in Santa Margarita Lake California. We get lots of bass and catfish, just yesterday 14 catfish. Kayak fishing is fun. We enjoy the water and silence vs a boat with a motor. FYI I flipped my kayak last time and lost two poles and a tackle box and my Lifetime rod holder, Lifetime replaced it! Great Company. Love their tables also.

I will say the Angler Kayak I have was sold to me gently used. My friend decided that after 3 uses he just wasn't built for kayak fishing. So I jumped at the chance to buy it from him!!! I love the kayak, it is perfect for my little fishing lake as a beginner kayaker. I added an anchor trolley line and love the ability to just sit and fish in one spot!! The kayak was missing the rod holder, so I contacted Lifetime and worked with Brenna to get a replacement. She is fantastic!!! The Angler is stable and easy to move thru the water, it sits perfectly in the water to fish from! I would buy this kayak again!!! In fact I might get one for the hubby!!!

I bought 2 of theses kayaks and so glad I did. They’re pretty light weight and easy to load on top of the SUV. They look great, proven to be water tight and easy to handle. We took them out on the lake and had plenty of storage space for towels, snacks, etc. The bungee holds allow us to take along camp chairs and beach canopies for a full day of fun. A definite 2 thumbs up.

I bought this Kayak a week ago, and I took it out for it's maiden voyage at the the end of the week. I absolutely love this Kayak. However, the paddle is not that great. I was pushing through some slow rapids and had to push off to keep from getting stuck. It didn't take much pressure, but the paddle bent. I put my hand over the bend in order to protect it from further damage. A little while later during normal paddling, it bent further and caused a crease in the metal and then broke. I had to paddle with half the paddle for the rest of the float. Again, I love the Yak. I will have this Yak for a while. But, now I have to get a new paddle and can't go floating this weekend like I was planning. I tried calling customer service and sending an email, but I have not had a response and have not been able to get anyone on the phone.

I picked up this Kayak to try out Kayaking - I love it! I have used it down rivers and in lakes - it is light weight and easy to navigate - comfortable, durable and fun to use! This was my first Kayak. One of the hatches fell off before my first trip - and customer service was quick to respond and send a replacement part. Thanks you!
