Do not stand behind warranty

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.

Unbelievable comfort and stability

I just purchased my Yukon 116 two days ago after using a competitors kayak for a 4 mile float. After the float I purchased my Yukon and used on a 10 mile fishing float the very next day and a 5 mile float today. The Yukon drains well, tracks well and fishes extremely well. I was able to catch many more fish due to the comfort and not fighting the Yukon due to tracking! My Yukon is much more stable and does well in rough fast areas of water. It also really is a sit on or stand on top of Kayak Pros: Stable Drains well Comfort Storage Price Floats shallow Tracks well Love the wheel in the back for moving on dry land Fishes great Can truly stand on top of and fish CONS: Did not come with scupper plugs

Great kayak for the price!

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.

Perfect kayak for tall person

I purchased this kayak earlier this year and have really enjoyed it, the only downside is I seem to be taking on water, After about 2 hours on the water fishing I will have about a half gallon of water inside the kayak that I have to drain is this normal?

Great Value for the money

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.

Shut the front door!

After canoeing 1000's of miles I finally reached the other side and got a yak. #1 purchase point made in USA. Great seat, very stable, flows great in the water, looks awesome, and I cannot stop bragging about my new kayak. I did by the portable wheel system, this is a big boat and after dragging it back and forth to the landing a couple of days it was time to upgrade. Highly recommend this yak!

Love it but keel wheel is not great

I would love to give this kayak five stars, as it is super comfortable tracks easily, and you can stay on it all day in the water. Unfortunately, the wheel design on the back heel is absolutely horrendous, and mine fell off when pulling it to the water at first use, otherwise it’s an awesome kayak

Really enjoying this kayak !

I purchased this kayak last summer and had it on the water a few times. I could hardly wait for spring weather this year. I have owned several kayaks over the years and this one is at the top of my list. I am a big guy, 270, 6 '2". Very stable and comfortable, the seat is great. I installed a Huminbird fish finder with thru hull transducer and it works perfectly. Some have stated quality issues but I have not encountered any such problems. I would recommend this to anyone looking for all around fun fishing kayak ! Paddle safe ! God bless !

Great Intro Angler Kayak

Was about to pull the trigger on another manufacturers kayak and then found my yukon for hundreds less with the same features. This is ridiculously stable. I don't stand and fish, mainly drift/troll/cast. Chair is very comfy. Easily added rod holders and accessories to the track.

Great Kayak

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.
