I bought this Kayak in April after looking at many others, I chose this one because it was made in America and had a warranty. I first had trouble registering the product, after many attempts was successful. Seat started fraying apart at the seams within a couple of weeks. I have submitted warranty claim, sent emails, and tried calling many times. It is July and I have not had a single person get back to me. And to make things worse that first month, I purchased two more similar LIFETIME kayaks and told friends and family to buy them. I have had 3 family members purchase similar kayaks and now I'm embarrassed to ask how theirs are holding up. Lifetime needs to get better with customer service and stand behind these products.

I bought the Lifetime Yukon Angler Friday August 27, 2021, from Scott at Blain's Farm & Fleet in Traverse City. Go see Scott if you have any questions. This is the 7th Kayak in my fleet of boats. I was fishing out of a Sundolphin Excursion 12SS for 5 years. I had to make several Mods because my legs and feet were falling asleep, so I started looking. I had 3 Lifetime and 3 Sundolphin kayaks all good kayaks. I bought the Yukon and went on a 3 1/2 hour maiden float. It was so comfortable that I went and did it again the next day. Now to get her ready for fishing. Looking for modifications and what I want to do. This Kayak is very stable, comfortable, and tracks well. It is a little heavy and hard to lift but worth the effort. For you skinny guys, I am 5'9" and weigh 250 lbs and I was comfortable and secure.

Bought this specifically for fishing and also to have our Yellow Lab join us on trips. She fits comfortably in the back cargo area with the bungie removed and a small mat. She was very curious at first and moved around a lot, which put the stability of the boat to the test and it performed perfectly.

I have had mine for almost a month now and have had 0 problems. I may only be 135lbs but i can crawl al the way to the bow of the kayak and it doesn't move a bit, that is impressive. I have been very happy with the seat, I have had no fatigue or back pains, it is very comfortable.

I purchased this kayak about a week ago and i am extremely glad I did. Holds steady on the water no worry of tipping over! The rear wheel makes it very easy to transport to the water. Lots of storage space and add on abilities! This seat is absolutely the most comfortable I've used by far. Highly recommend this kayak for anyone wanting to get into kayak fishing or just to cruise the waters.

This is an awesome kayAk! I Wanted something that I could stand up in as well as paddle. It does both extremely well. Tracking is fantastic. Overall quality is top notch and customer service is outstanding . My only issue is that it’s heavy and a chore to load in the truck, but the keel wheel really helps. I own two Tamaracks as well... and love this company! Great products at bargain prices. A great buy!

I had been eye-balling this kayak after seeing it in a local store. I have always been cautioned to run away from this brand, but the Yukon really caught my eye. Finally broke down and made the purchase. Unfortunately, I bought it on a weekend with 100+ temperatures and the lake was miserable. Last weekend, I took it out on a fast river with lots of downed trees. No whitewater, but very swift due to high release. Immediately after push off, I hit an eddy that nearly capsized me. I attribute that to my own lack of knowledge and not paying attention while I was getting situated. This thing turned on a dime and allowed me to steer my way through countless downed trees and varying currents. 15 miles in, I hit a tremendous headwind that made paddling a painful chore, despite the current being in my favor. At 16.5 miles and about 5 hours, my arms forced me to cut my journey short. (total trip would have been about 22 miles). Not even once did my back scream at me. This kayak is so incredibly comfortable, I cannot even express my pleasure with it. Everything about this kayak is amazing....except one thing. It is heavy. Trying mount and dismount from my roof is horrible. Aside from that...LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I just recently purchased this kayak, and I absolutely love it. I came from sundolphin 10ss and this kayak is one thousand percent better. I am 6'3" 220lbs and I feel absolutely comfortable in this kayak. So far I've only taken one trip for more than 8hours but that has nothing to do with the kayak. The one trip I did take for more than 8 hours I did not feel run down neither did I hurt. In fact I felt great. Now if I'm being honest, any kayak can flip, and this one is no different. But as tall and as big as I am I felt glued to the water. Was completely able to turn around in the seat and access my milk crate with all my fishing tackle. While on that subject the tank well is huge, big enough for a black pack or milk crate and another small cooler. Deck space is also amazing. In one of my trips out I even stood up, did not fish while standing up, but not the kayaks fault, that was my fault. I truly believe that you can stand and fish in this thing, with minimum effort. The dry storage area actually has stayed dry on me the entire time I've been out, and on one of my trips I got extremely muddy, long story but I learned that wet grass and flip flops do not go together. So when I got home and cleaned the kayak, I did not get any water in the dry storage area while spraying with a water hose. Be that as it may, I still put all my stuff in a stay dry bag, just for safe measures. I do not particularly like the way the dry storage is set up, and by that, I wish the dry storage had a latch system on it like the vibes, just for easier access. But it is definitely not a deal breaker, and with a DIY engineering I'm sure you could probably replace it with one. I'm not crazy about the position of the drain plug either, being on the side of the kayak, seems like if you got hit just right it would take on water, has not been an issue yet, but I would prefer it to be on top of the kayak. This kayak tracks great in the water and has pretty decent speed for a stable fishing kayak, a little slow to get started but after you are moving I had no problem keeping up with my wife in her 12 ft sit in touring kayak. We were not racing but still the speed is pretty good. I do like the idea of the skeg wheel for loading and unloading purposes, but the cut out around the wheel could be a little bigger. Kayaks are designed by nature to have a concrete boat ramp to launch, and if you pull this one across any grass or rocks it clumps in there and causes the wheel to get stuck, but nothing a cheap kayak cart can't fix. Even though this kayak is 82 lbs, its not that heavy, but it is bulky and be prepared for that when loading. If you plan on putting it on top of a car by yourself, please send me a video of how you do it. I'm in pretty decent shape and can not load it on top of my wife's car without help. I can load it into my truck absolutely no problem though. Bottom line if you are looking for an American made kayak but do not have the money, or want to buy a bonafide or Jackson kayak, you will not be dissapointed in this kayak.

Bought this kayak a couple years ago. It has been a great kayak. I am 6'8" and able to stand up in it, (although it is a little shaky). The best part is lifetime's customer service. I lost my seat this year, and it is impossible to find the right replacement seat, but when I contacted lifetime they sent me a replacement seat free! I am very pleased with the service, durability, and joy that this kayak brings. I will continually buy lifetime products in the future.

I love my Yukon Kayak! It is very stable. I weight 225 lbs and use this in rivers and creeks mostly. It fishes really well. I added a trolling motor mount and trolling motor and I love it. The seat is extremely enjoyable a blessing to sit in. I went on a 18 mile float and my butt nor back hurt when finished!
