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!

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.

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.

Kayak is great, once issues are worked out.

Okay, I got this kayak late in the middle of 2021 and got to take it out a few times before winter arrived. Upon receiving the kayak, which I had delivered, there were some noticeable and obvious problems. As the pictures show, almost all the scupper holes were still plugged up and I had to carefully cut out the remaining pieces. Next was that the skeg wheel was completely unattached from the kayak which I believe caused some scratching in transport. There were various sized scratches all over the kayak even though it was wrapped pretty well in bubblewrap and foam. A lot of screws were loose and one of the handles was actually attached in the wrong way. I was easily able to fix the loose screws and adjust the handle so it was correct. The skeg wheel was a bit trickier to get back on but it is very secure now that it is which begs the question of how it fell off in the first place. With all those problems, I have enjoyed actually using the kayak. It is very stable in the water to the point where I have purposefully tried to tip it and fell off before it actually flipped. I am not a small person. I'm 5'11 and around 265 Ibs. It tracks pretty well, though it is very slow. Speed is not the point of this kayak though so that is hardly a problem. I would recommend buying in-store and closely checking it out if you have the option. I did not as everywhere was sold out at the time I was looking into getting one. The skeg wheel works fine for short distances but the small wheel often results in it dragging on the ground. The adjustable footrest work well. The gear tracks pre-installed have some screws that stick out to the point of blocking items being put into the tracks without some minor modification.

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.

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.

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 !

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

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.
