My wife and I bought this for occasional use on our yearly trip to the mountains. We wanted a tandem kayak and looked online for a used kayak. We are not professional kayakers so we weren't looking for an ultra performance kayak. A lot of the used kayaks online were in horrible condition. The new ones (brand names) were well over $1000. So we found this kayak out our local sporting goods store. We've had this for 3 years now and everything works as brand new. The kayak is 10ft long so it's one of the shorter tandem kayaks, which is a perk for us. We bought seat pads and the stock seat backs work well. As mentioned this isn't the most performance kayak out there, buts it's doesn't cost as a performance one does. For occasional trips to the lakes for fun relaxing floating around the water that doesn't brake the bank...This is the perfect kayak.

I was extremely impressed with the parts customer service. I called due to losing a couple of my seat strap clips. I spent so much time looking everywhere online for it without any luck. I finally ended up calling their parts department (which I should have done first). They told me they would send me the parts free of charge and that I did not need to pay any shipping. Wow! I am extremely impressed with their customer service and I will continue purchasing their quality products. Thanks Lifetime!

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!

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.

I’ve had my Kokanee for about 4years now and I love it! It’s stable, great for beginners. Always in tow when I’m family camping every summer. Even managed ok on Lake Tahoe. This durable steady vessel will always be in my fleet for my buds or anyone who may be scared of capsizing.

We bought this kayak for use in a pond near our home. We have 2 young grandchildren and the sit on top tandem is perfect for getting them on the water. The kayak is sturdy--a bit heavy--but stable and comfortable with an adult and 2 smalls. The kids love getting on and paddling. However, the seat design is poor. Seats are movable and anchored by a series of straps and clips that pop off the moment any real weight is placed against the seat backs. This makes comfortable sitting on the kayak a challenge. We have already lost one clip and must continuously reattach the others. I wish the seat backs were molded vinyl that slid into various slots. Again, great for young children and especially for relaxed, short distance paddling.

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.

This is a well-designed kayak with a solid build quality. It comfortably accommodates two people and offers excellent stability on the water. Its flexibility makes it easy to maneuver, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced paddlers.

had a part malfunction & they got me a replacement quick & at no charge.

I lost one of the hatch covers of my envoy kayak and was replaced through the chat service.
