Sevylor Tahiti Plus Kayak - 2 + 1

This is a terrible Kayak. The seats constantly slip from under you as you're paddling and two of the three have punctured in the seams, so impossible to mend. I've had mine for a couple of years and its been well tested- I'm now seriously thinking of sticking a Stanley knife through it!I had to return the first one I had delivered as they'd forgotten to add some of the necessary parts when it was manufactured - which gives you a clue as to how poorly the QC is.It tracks like a drunken pig - even with the Skeg I bought. The only way to manage is to get the balance of crew just right - if not, you'll be going around in circles even before the pub, especially when trying to paddle upstream. Paddling on your own is just as difficult. Even with the correct inflation the bow will stick out of the water and the boat sags in the middle. The width of the boat means that you can't paddle on an optimal way and you'll realise that you're too low in the seat to avoid chafing the sides with your arms.Along with the other faults I'd like to wish you luck packing the boat so that you can carry it on your back. Life is too short to sit on a bankside trying to work it out, especially when it's wet - and you won't enjoy the weight.Having now purchased a Wilderness Tarpon 100 Sit on Top Kayak, I can thoroughly recommend the sport. It is the most wonderful feeling paddling around the islands of Scotland and the English waterways. Pure bliss! But I implore you to think again and save up a bit more to get something that you and your family will enjoy for years to come. Now - where's that Stanley knife!

Took them out today for the first time. Just an hour in the sea and although it was choppy and windy the kayaks were brilliant. I'm 6'3" and 100kg and it felt really stable the whole time - even with another 45kgs of kids in it too. I was worried about the seats based on other reviews but they were fine and supportive. I bought the skegs which sat well in the water contrary to other reviews (maybe the others were incorrectly fitted?). They pump up in just 5 mins with a handpump and are easy to move around being so light. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

OK, it's cheap ... but it has started coming apart at the seams after just 1 year of light use. I have been using it to go from shore to my boat and back - not far - every other weekend or so. It got a few punctures which I repaired, and that was fine. But now, the kayak is coming apart at the seams in apparently unprovoked ways. Pretty impossible to patch up. Well worth getting something more expensive that actually will last.

It was all right. We used it last summer and the beginning of this summer. (so for a few month) In the winter we kept it inside the house, rolled up, cleaned, dried. Last time I was pumping it, the bottom just blew up. It wasn't even fully inflated. The hole is so big, I cant fix it. I am disappointed, it wasn't even a year old.... One of the joins just let it go, and got torn.

Good kayak. Inflates well and is easy to pack away as well. For the price it should really come with a couple of oars and also you will need to buy a skeg if you plan to use this kayak with 2 people or more as it does not keep its direction very well. Overall it is very sturdy to use and easy to assemble however it is slightly overpriced and needs a couple of accesories to make it a decent usuable kayak.

great craft good fun, but one seat dosnt stay inflated.

Good points about this canoe are:- It's easy and quick to inflate even with a hand pump.- It's stable in the water - I was able to get down into it even off a relatively high pontoon without tipping it up.Less good points are:- The instruction booklet has tiny print and is very hard to read - plus doesn't have enough detail.- Folding the canoe up into the straps for the 'backpack' system is impossible - 4 of us have tried and can't figure it out!- The canoe is very hard to keep straight without a skegOverall it's not a bad starter canoe and I'm sure we'll have fun with it. However I regret not buying a Decathlon Inuit canoe - they seem to be much sturdier.

Cracking kayak. Quick to inflate (with a double handed pump). Sadly, the seat bases slide resulting in the back collapsing and me flat on my back! If I can find more stable seats I’ll be very happy!
