[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great kayak. It maneuvered better than I expected. I weigh 285 and had a cooler on it as well with no problems! I highly recommend. My only complaint is that one of the back wheels fell off on my first use. Looks like this is a common problem.

I very pleased with the kayak so far. I have roughly 8-10 hours in it and I dont have any complaints. I live close to a lake so I can easily roll it to the bank and throw in. Seat is very comfortable. I was a bit shaky standing up the first day but just had to get comfortable with it. When I hook up to a good size bass, I am very stable when fighting it. Plus when I go to seat down bringing the fish in close its very stable when sitting back down. As for the paddle I would like to see it a little bit longer so I dont hit the edge as much.

I took this kayak out today with my 3-year-old. He had plenty of room in front of me and I was very impressed by the stability. He was laying on my leg sticking his hand and foot into the water but the kayak didn't even tilt. I think this should work for the two of us for quite a few years!

I have three Lifetime kayaks, the Manta 120 is my favorite by far. It is stable on the water easy to load and unload the only thing I would suggest is to make the skeg wheels out of rubber.

Bought the kayak almost 5 months ago, and used it towards the middle of fall. It's an absolutely phenomenal kayak, and I love it so much. It's even better with 8 scupper plugs, no water splashes in the kayak, and its super stable.

Bought this kayak to replace my worn out one and for the price I like I can stand up with it. The only flaws I got was that the skeg wheels can pop out, making me lose and having to reorder. Though everything else is very good. Love how it works and paddles nice. Definitely recommend for a stand up kayak for people looking for one on a budget, just watch those wheels!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned my Lifetime Manta Angler 100 for a full year now, having purchased it on July 4, 2025. Over the past year, I have taken it out on both large and small lakes with my beagle riding at the bow. He absolutely loves it! Even when he has fallen overboard a few times, pulling him back into the kayak was easy and felt completely stable—I never once worried about tipping over. The kayak handles boat wakes exceptionally well, remaining firm and balanced on the water regardless of the conditions. While the wheels on the transport frame detached during transport over rough terrain to the launch site, I am otherwise extremely happy with the performance and stability of this kayak. This year I did lose my seat, I should have taken it off the boat during transportation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received my new Manta Angler kayak. Great fishing kayak. Very stable. It would be difficult to flip this kayak over. Absolutely love it. The only issue I have is one of the buoyancy float bags has a hole in it and will not hold air. I'm hopeful Lifetime will send me a replacement.

The shipping of my kayak from the third party services of Sam's Club and the initial handling from Sam's Club themselves is horrible. The first time it was delivered, the box had come ripped open, the wheel skeg was widen and the wheel missing, along with improper use of ratchet straps holding the kayak. I had returned that one hoping that the second one would be in much better condition what a fool I was. The second time the kayak arrived it came in an even worse condition. The hull was scrapped during transit, there was practically even no box at this point. If I could I would rate this a zero! I waited weeks upon weeks for it to arrive only for again for AIT and Ground Trans Logistics to screw me over, they consistently kept delaying the arrival. They initially told me 10:00am-2:00pm, then moved it to 3:00pm-5:00pm, and again moved it to 6:00pm but had not arrived close to 7:00pm. Horrible protection of the kayak in transit, when it arrives at your house expect nothing but a thin cardboard box cutout protecting it only. In my opinion this should of been protected much better than what it had. Absolutely avoid ordering from Sam's Club and their horrible third party services. Do not waste your time and save yourself the headache of avoiding ordering from here.

Came with a hole in it, and Sam's Club customer service is useless, and of course everytime I go to upload a picture I have a “network” error, it's a shame because the kayak looks really nice
