Great stable Kayak

Just purchased a few weeks ago to use for fishing. The Manta is very stable and love the color. Used one time so far and very pleased.

Looking forward to using it next week.

I bought this last week and plan to use it next week for the first time. Looking forward to trying it out. It looks like a sturdy kayak.

Awesome kayak!

This kayak is awesome! It is the most stable kayak I have used and I was able to stand and fish with zero issues. It maneuvers great and very easy to paddle. It has plenty of room for all your gear. It is light enough to load and unload it by yourself. It also has 2 built in wheels that make launching it very easy. I really like that it has 6 rod holders. The only downside is the way the outer rod holders angle , sometimes i would hit the rods while paddling.

Awesome Kayak

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lifetime Manta Angler is very easy to maneuver and there’s plenty of room for gear . The tracking is fairly good but as in all kayaks in my experience it’s about transferring your weight of your load around to help balance your kayak to get the best tracking . The stability of the Manta Angler is awesome, I was able to stand up and cast my fishing rod with ease and landing a big bass I had no worries about tipping over . I love this kayak

Super stable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lifetime Manta kayak is an amazing, affordable, lightweight kayak with a ton of innovative features. Some of my favorite features include the wide platform, which provides amazing stability, and the 4 rod holders. The gear tracks provide a ton of mounting options for my electronics. I do wish there were a few on the back. The dual skeg wheels make it nice to maneuver around the garage and to the truck, but they have a hard time in sand. It's still much better than previous versions. I've owned 4 different models of Lifetime kayaks, from sit-inside to pedal drive and everything in-between. The Manua has the best tracking of any of them. The stability has beyond exceeded my expectations. I'm a big guy and I am able to walk to and fish from the front of the kayak! Speed is not the Manta's strong suit, but it makes up for it in stability. It comes with a motor mount and mine will be installed this week. Heading out to Clear Lake California this weekend for a kayak bass tournament, and I will update my review after cruising with the motor. A few wish list items. 11' long New seat design, including an option to sit about 3" higher. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the Manta and I plan on using it for many years in many kayak bass fishing tournaments. I received this kayak free of cost in exchange for a honest review.

Manta Kayak

This is the 4th Lifetime Kayak I’ve owned. It’s by far the most stable which is crucial for somebody such as myself who frequently has one of my young kids or my petite Labrador retriever abroad. Sometimes both at the same time. I can comfortably maneuver around to grab/move gear around while on the water. The seat is very comfortable which makes it’s easier when paddling for long periods of time. The only thing I’d change is the weight of the kayak. Aside from that, I highly recommend it to anyone seriously considering it for leisurely paddling, fishing, or even hunting out of
