[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I love this boat, the seat straps and buckles need to get figured out by me as they became disconnected or loosened a couple of times over 1.5 hrs on the creek today. Looking forward to more challenging trips ahead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this kayak a few weeks ago and I use it almost every day. It's the best purchase I've made in a long time. The stability is great and it's comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got two of these and the kids and I love them. I find it very easy to navigate the local pond. My son (10) who's never used one before really enjoys it, too. I didn't have any malfunctions, but everything seems like it's easy to maintain.

Darwin helped me locate and procure several parts for my kayak that had been lost. He was very efficient and went out of his way to help. I'm very pleased with the level of service I received.

I was very pleased to receive the Kenai kayak from Lifetime Products to review. I really enjoyed my time out on the water in the Kenai. The kayak was effortless to maneuver along with being very stable and speedy. Honestly, I was surprised how easy it was to paddle. The tracking suffers a bit with the flat, stable hull, but I think the ease of paddling makes up for it. I’m pretty picky about the comfort of my kayak seat and the Kenai didn’t disappoint. The padded back and seat meant I could paddle for a couple of hours without any aches. One of my favorite features of the Kenai is the integrated bottle holder. Usually my water bottles won’t fit standard holders, but the Kenai was able to accommodate my 40 oz. water bottle! Also, the Kenai has an accessible dry storage right by your seat. The downside of all kayaks is transportation, but the Kenai’s handles helped with maneuvering the kayak onto my car rack and with tying down. Overall the Kenai is a great choice for flat water paddlers looking for an easy, enjoyable kayak experience.

I ordered 2 of these. they were delivered at 10am and we were on the river by 1pm. It seemed to handle well on the water. The biggest complaint is the seat back. The strap used to hold back kept coming unlatched. I cannot understand why that is 2 pieces instead of one solid piece. We were out for about 2 and a half hours and I had to reattach the peice for my seat at least 4 times. I'm no expert in any water sport but I would love a little texture on the paddle because they are so smooth, they get hard to keep a grip on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was fortunate to have the opportunity to test drive this Kenai before it hit the market thanks to the lovely folks at Lifetime! My husband and I both took turns on it while enjoying Lake Powell, although he ultimately stole it from for the majority of our trip as he took a liking to the comfort of the padded seat and extra leg room. We have enjoyed the basic sit on top Lifetime Daylite 8ft kayaks up until now but the Kenai was definitely an upgrade on many levels. The Kenai sits a little over 10ft long so combined with the padded seat and backrest it made for a very enjoyable trip especially on longer journeys to lower Antelope Canyon. I loved the extra dry storage beneath the deck to stash another dry layer, snacks and electronics as well but be sure to have your own dry bag and chord otherwise you might lose items as there's nothing to contain your goodies. There was tons of bungee reinforced space at the front and back of vessel for storage and our cooler of provisions. We were grateful for the heavy duty T - handles on front and back and side luggage handles that helped us to maneuver to the waterfront which proved to be exceptionally challenging at the Antelope Point Marina that is about 100ft below normal water levels currently. We had to hike down and back up again a steep/loose gravel hill but at least had a good grip to make it out. I will say being a petite 5'4 gal I was thankful for my husband's help getting the Kenai to the water in this case because it is almost 20 lbs heavier than the Daylite I'm accustomed to (Daylite 36.5lbs vs. Kenai 53.5lbs) Lastly - the Kenai is sturdy AND fast! I am 7months pregnant, had our 80lb golden retriever cruising with me, plus our cooler and even through the large wake and chop that came our way from motorized vessels I felt very secure. Paddling against the wind wasn't as challenging either. The Kenai left whoever was on the Daylite far behind even with the added weight. For reference my husband is about 190 pounds and 6ft 2". Our pup loves to swim as well so she was in and out of the boat often and we were both able to grab her life jacket to get her back in without capsizing which was a plus LOL. Overall, Kenai was a true "Dreamboat" and we can't wait to rally some longer distance paddles with her this summer now that speed and comfort are on our side! Might just need to get a second one or I see a lot of roshambo in our future.

LifeTime sent me this kayak to review and test for them and I am happy to say this is an awesome beginner kayak! Even if you are experienced, you will have a blast on one of these! My favorite feature has to be the paddle holder and the back Bungie cords because these just make it so easy to carry things u need when out on the water! I took my kayak to a pond and tested it out and it was a blast to paddle and go around with! One thing I wish there was, I wish there was a bag for the storage container to keep your stuff secure. Other than that, I have VERY little complaints about this kayak! Highly recommend!

Is very easy to use and this is my first sit on top! I will say that my only issue I have is I feel that the seat is much more narrow than a sit in. The clasps that secure the seat do not stay put like I thought they would, you move one inch and the clasp becomes undone then you essentially have to sit yourself up and it’s uncomfortable. My hips are wider so the seat was not very comfy, wish there was a seat replacement option that sits a little higher up so that my hips aren’t squished by those seat securing clasps!

Thus revurw is not on the kayak itself, but rather the 3rd party vendor that is fulfilling the order. Wasn't aware of extra shipping charges and IMMEDIATELY called to cancel order and Sams said there was nothing they could do but email the vendor and thry had 48 to respond. Not only did they NOT respond within the 48 hours, but proceeded to ship the order 4 DAYS after they recieved the cancellation notification! Sam's is not helping in any way and we are out $110 in shipping on something that we requested cancellation on within minutes. This is poor business and if Sam's can't have any more accountability to their customers when using third party vendors, then they shouldnt be able to use such a platform. No-one is apparently responsible for customer service through their model. shame on you Sams!
