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!

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 received this kayak from Lifetime to test and review. It’s a nice kayak. The build feels solid and it’s very stable. I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the seat back. Because of that, this is something you could easily be comfortable on for a couple hours out on the water. It tracked fine while paddling, however once I stopped paddling, the kayak turned left. I may have not been sitting quite centered in the kayak, so I’ll have to get out and try it some more. My favorite feature is kind of a toss up between the dry storage hatch, the paddle holder and the seat back. These are all features I was very impressed with. Honestly, I loved the bungees on the front and back too. I can definitely pack some gear for a day out on the water. One thing about the dry storage hatch: It appears to extend the entire length of the kayak. I would have liked it to have been sealed off so as to ensure the contents don’t slide to the front or back of the hatch. The kayak was a bit heavy and a bit awkward to carry by myself, but as I’m not used to carrying a sit-on-top, and my muscles are a bit weak from the off season, I’ll just have to look up some tips and tricks to carry it. I will say, I really like the handles on the ends and sides. All in all, I would recommend this kayak. It will definitely give you many fun hours out on the water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the new Kenai kayak from Lifetime and I am absolutely in love with it! I took it out for the 1st time down a creek where I live (Chesapeake, VA) and it was so much better than I anticipated - the tracking is lightyears better than my other 2 yaks and there are some great features built in that you wouldn't even think to want in a boat. I usually fight with the wind but I had no problems at all controlling the boat despite it being a really windy day. My favorite feature is the strap on the side (the "Paddle Keeper") that allows you to easily store your paddle. This doesn't seem like much but if you've ever battled with a paddle as you try to get in and out of the boat or take a photo, then you get it. I also love how the there's a spot for a water bottle / beverage that is well thought out - it's not just a hole that only fits certain size bottles that ultimately just ends up holding a pool of water. There is a nice-sized hatch for storage (that extends the entire length of the kayak) and a sets of straps at both the front and back of the boat, making it super easy to bring and store gear. The kayak itself is also a really good size and has several foot pegs - meaning both me at 5'4" and my husband at over 6 feet can both use it (with room for our infant). Overall this is just a really well thought out boat, I feel comfortable knowing I'll be able to bring what I need and have a safe and comfortable trip on the water. The only thing worth considering with this one is the weight, it's definitely on the heavier side. My other 2 kayaks are a lot easier for me to carry by myself, but they also don't have near as many features and overall just aren't the same quality. I'd still choose this one over the others but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you're smaller-framed like myself.

Part was missing, they replaced for free. Excellent service.

Lifetime sent me this kayak to review and my overall thoughts were this… it’s Great for beginners, very stable and maneuvers great. Seat is a bit uncomfortable but manageable. Overall would definitely recommend… great kayak.

We've already taken these out several times and have really enjoyed being out in nature on the water. I feel like these are a good value.

Bought recently good kayak
