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 fishing 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.

First time kayak purchase

I bought just to try it out and see how I like it. The first time I ever took it out it was very stable, and comfortable. It handled waves nice, and tracked well in the water. It was the first fishing kayak I've ever been on. I was worried about being stable, but after a few minutes on the water that went away. So far I'm happy with the purchase. Looking forward to going out again in the future.

Quality

I don’t think I would recommend this kayak. I have had it out 3 times now, it looks like I’ve been using it for a year with how easily the bottom scratches. I use wheels to move it to the water and everything. I take of my kayaks. But I think this thing just gets scratches from being in the water. I have never had a kayak that gets beat up just by being in water. Very soft material or something. The kayak takes on water inside, I believe from the screws where the back wheel is, I have tried to fix this but have only slowed the water coming in down. This shouldn’t even be an issue for a kayak but it is. anyway I have had to place gorilla tape around the places that have been gouged from just being in the water(have not ran across anything or hit anything), this is to try and protect it from its poor quality. I also had to tighten every screw on this thing. Nothing was tight and everything was loose. I say to look around and find a better quality kayak.

Fantastic Kayak

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.

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 !

Never been in a kayak before and I am 61 years old.

Easy to launch extremely stable and within two hours I was taking on good size waves and the floor stayed dry I was very comfortable and even the least bit of nervousness. I am glad I didn't buy a used kayak as this new kayak I can set it up the way I want it. I think this is the beginning of a new and loving hobby. Its so stable I plan to kayak out to the beach on fathers day 2025. Thank you Lifetime for such a stable and dry kayak for a beginner like me. Video's to come soon.

Very stable

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!

Incredibly stable and well made for the price!

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.
