Brought this for my wife as a birthday gift. It actually arrived on her birthday, which was a great extra benefit( shipment delays due to Covid). She had been using a 9' 6 '' big box store, generic kayak and enjoyed it. She took her maiden voyage on her Loon 120 and absolutely loved it! Initially was going to get her the Loon 106, but fortunately when I called I spoke to a staff member who explained the the 120 is better suited for a smaller stature person such as my wife. Tracks like a dream and does not require constant correction! If you are considering the 120, go for it, you will not be disappointed!

[ You can really tell this kayak was made with love. It has great storage, a cool deck for your phone and and adjustable sitting area! Its light enough to carry on your shoulder as well. It also has plenty of bungies. The deck is removable and has a dry place for a battery with a usb cord built in. I really enjoy this product!

[ I have been holding off reviewing my AutoPilot 120 for a year and a half. I wanted to put it through the grind of a full tournament season and many different weather conditions. After completing a full season, I am amazed with this kayak. The stability of the primary and secondary are unmatched to other competitor's kayaks. Spot lock on the MinnKota trolling motor is a game changer. Having the ability to sit in one spot while focusing on docks, brush piles, and deep water is vital when the wind wants to float you off your spots. There is plenty of room in the cockpit and in the stern of the kayak for so many accessories. If you are looking for a kayak that can do it all, look no further than the AutoPilot 120 or 136. You will not be disappointed.

One of those things that just changes your perspective on fishing forever. Spot Lock is unreal in so many situations, both fresh and salt, and combined with plenty of tank well space and the stability to stand while fishing, this is the ultimate fishing kayak bar none!

I own this kayak for 3 years now and it is the best fishing kayak out there. Having a Minn Kota trolling motor with spot lock technology is a game changer. I focus on my fishing all day hands free, feet free and do n't waste any time on the water. Highly recommended!

This is our 3rd Old Town Kayak and as a family we love them! Both the PDL and AP models are very well thought out and designed extremely well.

The Stealth 110 brings ease and comfort to kayak lovers and beginners. From the adjustable seat, to easy to carry handles or for long trips it has you covered with two points of strapped storage to even an under storage compartment. It is one of the most stable kayaks I have been on, it also has multiple foot rests for riders of all different heights. Two features that I enjoyed is the fishing pole adjustable holder stationed in the middle for ease of access. But as a woman the back wheel really helps set this kayak apart. It not only helps stabilize the kayak but makes it a one person job pulling it to the water. I really am enjoying the versatile uses of this kayak without having to buy extra add ons.

Recently, I had the opportunity to try Lifetimes Stealth 11 set on top kayak and I ’ m impressed! First, thing that I noticed is the light weight and easy mobility for a kayak that weighs under 60lbs. This platform includes a skeg wheel that assists in easy transport along with four different carrying handles that provides you with plenty of lift options. The next notable feature is the seat and deck area. For a fixed seat option, this is certainly one of the more comfortable options I ’ ve tried. There is a good amount of padding and comfort in the seat and back that will ease fatigue on long outings. I like the open deck storage area a lot. There is plenty of room to strap down a hydration system, tackle or other kayaking equipment without it getting in the way while fishing. There is also a very convenient storage hatch on the deck just in front of the seat. Behind your seat is another large area to store a cooler like the Lifetime 28 quart high performance or a tackle crate setup. Once I got the Stealth 11 on the water, that ’s where the performance really shines. It tracks perfectly and is easy to paddle. I felt very stable and comfortable in the kayak and found the center mounted rod holding very convenient while moving from one spot to another. Its lightweight design truly helps the overall performance and tracking capabilities. I ’ m am 5 ’ 9 and roughly 180 lbs. and found that there is plenty of room and space for me to stretch out with the multiple footrest positions. Lastly, the price of this kayak is very affordable for a setup with great features and reliable performance. Lifetimes Stealth 11 is a perfect platform for any angler looking to avoid pricey kayaks but still enjoy popular features and performance.

If you are looking for a fishing Kayak that does everything a high dollar Kayak does at a fraction of the cost look no further! I have had a lot of Kayaks in my day and I can honestly say this is one of my favorites. The new intelligent scupper system worked like a charm and kept me completely dry. Kayaks I have owned in the past always soaked my feet with residual water after a while paddling around. The built in wheel in the keel made transport to and from the water an absolute breeze! The Built in Rod Holders were the perfect size for my full size catfish poles all the way down to my smaller panfish rods. The kayak was super easy to paddle and tracked really well. I am 6 feet tall 235lbs and I was even able to stand up in this kayak!!!! Overall I would give the Lifetime Stealth 11 kayak 2 BIG thumbs up!

Love this kayak! The Lifetime Stealth 11 is super stable, and the SmartFlow Scupper system keeps the water out, which is a huge plus. The rod holders are in just the right spots, so grabbing my gear is super easy. Plus, the padded seat is really comfy for those long fishing days. It ’s also a breeze to move around with the carry handles and skeg wheel. If you ’ re into fishing, you can ’ t go wrong with this one!

The Lifetime Sit On Top Stealth 11 Kayak is my first ever kayak and I 'm excited to talk about it. It has some great features and I 'll address them all. 1.) The adjustable padded seat was very comfortable to me while a paddled around the pond and fished. 2.) The tank well storage areas in front and back have plenty of room for my gear although on the maiden voyage I chose to take very little. The bungee cord lacing is extremely tight and will safely secure my gear. 3.) The tracking was on spot as I paddled. Getting from point A to point B was very easy. And maneuvering was just a breeze. I found out you do n't have to paddle hard to get this kayak moving and bringing to a stop or making a sharp turn. This was extremely easy. 4.) The Lifetime Kayak Sit On Top Stealth 11 seems very stable and at no time was I concerned about it tipping over. 5.) The multiple foot rests provide great comfort while paddling and allow me to also stretch my legs when resting. 6.) The storage hatch could not be in a more convenient location. Right in front of me if I needed to get into it quickly. 7.) The 4 carry handles seemed strong enough and easy on the hands as I pulled the Lifetime Kayak Sit On Top Stealth 11 to the waters edge. 8.) I liked the idea of the adjustable rod holder sitting between my legs and out of my way when paddling or landing a fish. The 2 flush mounted rod holders behind the seat make switching rods quick and easy. 9.) I also like the skeg wheel. No worries when I have to pull the Lifetime Kayak Sit On Top Stealth 11 over concrete. 10.) So I paddled around about 4 hours before I decided it was to hot out and time to quit. The Smartflow scupper system did it's job keeping water off the deck. 11.) The paddle holder is in perfect reach, no need to lean or stretch to get to it. So I have say that the Lifetime Kayak Sit On Top Stealth 11 is the perfect first kayak for me to start out with.

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.

I had to order a new seat back for my Lancer 100 kayak. This was due solely to my mistake and not a production issue. Ian in customer service gave me exemplary help. He not only sent me the seat back, but also the strap, bungie and connections that he knew I would need. The service I received blew me out of the water( so to speak). I now know the reason behind the company's name as I will be a lifetime customer of Lifetime. Ian rocks!

I bought a 8ft lifetime kayak for my daughters birthday( larger one, she grew out of her lifetime kid kayak) and only a display kayak was available, except a hook plug was missing for attaching the seat( water was getting into the inner kayak).. I went online and sent an email explaining, they were nice and let me know they were sending me a replacement with no extra charge to me. buying from lifetime has been the best decision I 've ever made!! I will continue to buy their kayaks and send my family and friends to them.. seriously a exceptional company!!

I haven ’ t been able to test the kayak out just yet, but it came packaged really well. Pretty easy to assemble, although we did use an electric pump to ease inflation- in a pinch the manual pump works just fine. The backpack makes it easy to lug around and store while not in use. I can ’ t wait to take it on the water with my kids!

Love2run
I got this double kayak for my two boys that absolutely love to fish, swim and be on the water. It took us about 10 minutes to pump up which is not bad to be on the water paddling around and/or fishing out in the open water for the day. The seats were surprisingly comfortable for a long paddle session and the it was a sturdy ride. It was super easy to maneuver through the water. We ’ ve always wanted kayaks but didn ’ t have the room to store them. This comes with a storage bag that is easy to put the folded kayak back once dry that fits the oars and pump with ease. Amazing!

Great portable kayak! This kayak is a fantastic quality. I love the option to deflate and use the backpack style carrying bag. It is on the heavier side for some, but my husband does not have an issue. The pump is a great quality and quickly inflates. The bag has plenty of room to fit everything inside. Highly recommend!

Megs
This inflatable kayak has worked well to paddle in our creek and out to the river with my son or daughter. I am careful to avoid downed trees or anything that could puncture it. We also plan to use it in the ocean and intracoastal. My 9yr old son fully inflated and assembled it by himself. It comes with 2 seats, 2 paddles, pump, repair kit, fins, and a nice zippered storage bag. While it is easy to setup, it does take some time and should be noted that there are a lot of parts to keep up with and the once inside the bag it is quite heavy and large to store or transport. For one person, it takes about 15 minutes to deflate and packup and bw 30- 45min to set up the first few times.

The Patoka Inflatable Kayak can be 2 or 1 person. Comes with carrying Pack for easy storage and packing to your favorite spot at the water. Quite impressive with quality of this Inflatable Kayak. The lightweight maneuverability and stability. The weight limit is a max of 375 total weight. Still great for a adult and small child or one adult. Comes with everything you need to hit the water except the life jackets. Remember if you have 2 people you need 2 life jackets. Also repair kit comes with this as well. I would recommend this if you are needing to Kayak and have a small car or no storage room.

[ I have owned the Old Town Bigwater PDL 132 for 4 years now and can tell you, this kayak embodies the name bigwater and other all is an amazing platform! It's fast, agile, stable, adaptable, and very customizable. The drill plates are really nice! They allow you to add accessories that require drilling holes to mount that accessory but you do n't have to worry about drilling into the main kayak itself. But my favorite thing about the bigwater, the PDL drive in combo with that sleek, narrow hull! The Bigwater truly is a beast but can really get moving out on the water. I 've been able to pedal it, bow into the wind and still hit 4mph- 4. 2mph! That's great for a kayak! It's hull just eats waves too. The bow has a narrow point that is designed to split waves, make it easier for the kayak to keep moving through those conditions and I ca n't tell you how nice it is to have that feature being a trout troller up in the Rocky Mountains, dealing with wind waves, chop, and heavy wind. Other all, the Old Town Bigwater PDL 132 is the perfect kayak that gives you all of the features to be an amazing fishing platform but gives you that unique kayaking experience with it's narrow hull! I 'd always recommend the bigwater!

This is my first real kayak and I was torn between a sit in or a sit on option and then I found this! Super unique design and I ’ m very impressed with the quality of the product. I feel like I ’ ll have it forever. If you are thinking of using a kayak on bumpy choppy waters or just lounge on a lake it works for both. My favorite feature is the skipper plugs which allow you to drain the kayak while you are in it!

Nikki
I really like that I have options to choose from a sit in to sit on top. Transitioning between the two was really easy and I could do by myself. It handled really well in the water better than my other sit on top kayaks. It balances really nicely so if you ’ re not sure of your skills you will be comfortable giving kayaking a try on this. It did take 2 of us to move it. I ’ m sure a taller stronger person would have no trouble. I am 5 ’ 4 ” and used the foot rest at the very top, so there is definitely plenty of room for a taller person. But it also was a nice fit for me. The sit in top does have a lip so you could put a skirt on it, but I wouldn ’ t as there ’s is nothing on the side connection that would stop water from coming in like a rubber seal. For the small details it has a curve in the top side and strap for your paddle holder. A small cubby you could put your phone and stuff in with easy access and it ’s not on the floor. There is a lay down cup holder, which held my drink but I didn ’ t like as my bottle got wet. And sometimes I have a drink that the lid is open so I would have nowhere to put it. All together though this is a great option if you want the best of both worlds. I plan on taking this instead of my other kayaks so I can transition and enjoy the best of both!

Kayak Cliff
Wow! What a great idea. Many kayakers want a sit on top for the warmer months of the year, while they might also want a sit inside for the cooler months of the year. Or, they might want a sit inside on a summer day to keep the sun off their legs. The Cabrio 11- does both! It ’s a convertible! Pull it ’s top off for an open air sit on top experience, or put it ’s top on for a sit inside experience. It ’s your choice! My favorite feature is the little cubby hole storage area for my phone that is in easy reach just under the sit inside cover, really cool idea! This seems like a very durable kayak with its HDPE construction and I really like how Lifetime has treated the kayak to resist UV damage, like they do all of their other outdoor products! Check out the Cabrio 11- it ’s worth your time and money!

I was given the opportunity to test this kayak for Lifetime. I used to kayak a lot, both whitewater and recreational. Now I have 4 kids and I have not been able to be as active as I would have liked. This kayak caught our eye because for our kids the sit on top feature is really nice, they do not feel trapped and they like to jump on and off. For me, it was nice to have the ability to put the cover on and stay a little drier. If. I get a chance to take it on a river the cover is nice to avoid all the water coming over the edge. I really like the storage area on the back, there is a little storage at the front as well and even a small place in the cover for small items that would stay dry. the kayak is very large and stable, great for beginners, though it is very large. It is also heavy, definitely a two person job to move it and load it most of the time. The handles seem durable and are convenient for carrying the kayak to the shore. The cover comes on and off easily, my eleven year old had no problem taking it off then putting it back on. This is a great family recreation boat!

I practiced assembling the kayak twice in my apartment, then took it out to a lake for the real test. Still had to check my notes, so it took me 15- 20 minutes to assemble. Once I got it in the water, it was wonderful. There were strong gusts of wind, as well as a steady breeze, but had no trouble making a straight heading to wherever I wanted to go. Wish I had gotten one of these kayaks sooner.

[ I 'm very impressed with my new Bay ST kayak. I 've been canoeing and kayaking all my live( I 'm 62) and have a good deal of experience in all types of paddle craft in all types of conditions. For its length and width, I 'd put the Bay ST in the top of its size category. The boat is surprisingly stiff and responsive, easy to paddle with high or low paddle angles, tracks well with moderate strokes, turns easily and tightly in a lean, and is very comfortable. All of this from a corrugated plastic folding boat that only weighs 26 pounds! Amazing. I 'm impressed with this little kayak and am eager to put it to the test in big water( with a spray skirt).

We took our Oru Kayaks out of the box on the shore of String Lake, Grand Teton NP, with directions in hand and gathering onlookers anticipating the final form of our clever unfolding. The first attempt was frustrating. I might have said a swear word or two. However, the second kayak emerged more easily and lacked the initial assembly drama. Those interested in our maiden voyage were delighted to see how light the boats were and how easily we launched them. After sliding into the water, my first stroke shot the boat forward and I knew I was in for a great day of paddling. My wife and I simultaneously commented about how easily the boats paddled and how responsive they were. As a side note, thank you very much for supplying a decent paddle in your package. It paddled as well as my trusty Werner paddle and broke down better. The first test came at the north end of String Lake where we had to portage the boats a quarter mile to Leigh Lake. At 26 pounds apiece, we easily carried both Oru boats together. On a previous trip to this same destination, we carried 65 pound plastic kayaks individually over the portage, which means we walked a mile with more weight, instead of a quarter mile with lighter Oru boats. Paddling Leigh Lake was a dream. Even in light chop from an afternoon gust, the Oru Kayaks paddled great! Our heavier, plastic ocean kayaks totally out perform the Oru kayaks on our home waters of Monterey Bay, but they don ’ t come close to the convenience, compact storage, and light weight we need for packing in our trailer and heading out to lakes in the northwest. The best part: I didn ’ t buy have to buy a kayak rack for the cab of my truck, which my wife isn ’ t tall enough to reach anyway, for two folding kayaks that fit snugly in the truck bed. Thank you for a pair of really fun kayaks. More adventures to follow…

I love my Oru Bay ST because it has allowed a Manhattanite with a subcompact car to finally get back on the water in a routine way. I didn ’ t think I ’ d ever be able to own a kayak, but now my wife and I own 3, and can fit them( and 3 kayakers) in our car and get out on the water. The Bay ST is much easier to put together than the original Bay, which is a big relief after struggling with the old model.

I bought the Pelican Classic 120 a month ago. I have been out in it several times and will agree with other reviews that say it is comfortable, quite stable and needs tracking help in any wind. I ended up building a skeg for it rather than order options found on line. The skeg improved tracking in wind greatly. Paddling is fine but it is not a fast kayak by any means. Mostly due to the hull design. It does have a good load capacity which came in handy paddling in bundles of firewood to a remote campsite in VT. I have no regrets with the purchase and will recommend to those wanting a decent fishing kayak.

I took it out on the Meramec River in MO. The Kayak rides high in the water, excellent stability, easy to get on and off, I felt safe on it and it was better than my Pelican sit in Kayak. I did re enforce the seat buckles with zip ties. All in all I would buy it again..

We love these kayaks! They are the first ones we have ever had and we like the features that they have. Waterproof storage comes in handy for our phones and keys. The straps on the back hold our life vests nicely. The reclining seatbacks are nice as well, except one of straps sometimes breaks free if you lean back to hard. Might have to fix that one. Otherwise we are very happy with them!

I typically prefer a sit in kayak, but the crosswater was a very smooth and comfortable ride

I coupled with a MinnKota 45 lb. thrust trolling motor and it moves me around well. I ’ m 5 ’ 10 ” and weigh 200. I carry a 10 lb anchor which I store under the battery cover to distribute the weight. The 360 swivel works well for me. I am 70 and do not stand up while fishing but I know much younger people could. I ’ ve landed several 5 lb. bass on an ultralight rod in it.

This isnt an inexpensive kayak but you get more than what you pay for in a stabile one person fishing craft that is packed with good features. Are the flaws? Sure there are some things they might want to consider such as the raised track handles put quit a bit on leverage on the hull but having those tracks there opens up all kinds of possibilities. This was my first yak and I ca n't imagine I could have bought any better this boat is as much fun as it is functional. One suggestion for future models is a sucken battery well to lower the center of gravity a bit and to help keep the battery in place.

Man oh Man what a Great little boat( Kayak). Very easy to put in the water. And the customer service is spot on. They replaced my battery cover hinge with no problems. I took it out to Lake Norman for the test run. I used a 55lbs thrust motor. Great!!

My husband& I( age 66 and 67) are so happy that we purchased two of these kayaks. We have been told that Old Town Canoes& Kayaks are by far the best in quality, safety and performance. We are extremely happy that we listened.

Purchased this three weeks ago, and finally got it on the water. It's easy to sit in, the seat is remarkably adjustable and comfortable. the padding is easy on the legs, and the footrests are simple to adjust. The boat itself is light enough for a 75- year old guy to heft, and lift to the top of the SUV( Wow!) The Cherry Red stands out and gets me some neat comments. Easy to paddle, and tracks pretty well, too. Thanks, Old Town.

It is made of a thinner material and I do n't think it would take alot of river rash, however with its skeg built into the body it is great on lake paddles and easy river paddles. It tracks well in the water, and is a lighter sit inside Kayak to carry to and from

Ordered this kayak for curbside pick up at Dicks Sporting Goods in Danvers. Cole was the employee who helped me load the kayak into my truck, and was super polite and helpful, thanks!

You can ’ t beat it. It trails amazing. Turning is a bit hard than the 10 XT. So many accessories and options on the kayak and a very comfortable seat. Very stable kayak and a large cockpit. It is so relaxing to have your legs out over the kayak and seat all the way back. Also, if you ’ re like me that likes to do overnight camping, kayak will supply you with all that room. And it ’s not only perfect for that, it perfect for just an hour on the water. You get what you paid for. So If you ’ re looking for a kayak that is easy to paddle, vapor is way to go. If you ’ re looking at getting 8 or 10 or 12 XT all the same except the length.

Was walleye fishing on a large bowl shaped lake known for rough water. I paddled out to a point and started catching walleye. The wind came up and the 14- 16 ’ v bottom aluminum boats headed for the marina. I paddled out for another drift. I didn ’ t head in until I took a wave over the side and thought maybe that was enough. Great, stable kayaks! I have a Vapor 10 as well. Building a farm pond on my property this fall. They will see heavy use from here on out.

The kayak is very stable and smooth in the water. I do n't use anything other than Old Town ever since I tried one several years ago. I feel the Old Town Company makes quality product and it will last for a long time.

First time trying out my new Vapor 12 Angler that I actually bought for my 12 YO Grandson on a local lake to see how it handled in the 20 mph wind. Funny thing, side wind wanted to push the stern and not the high profile bow. Tracked well with a tail wind and into the wind. Slides easily through the water reasonably fast with no fatigue. He likes over night Kayak camping on the quiet slow to medium flow streams in the area and I see this as having plenty of room for his gear. His take on it, He loves it and had no trouble with the side wind pushing the stern, might be because of his lighter weight Ample room for my 6' 2 '' 185 lb frame. Seat adjust, modest thigh/knee pads plus moving the drain plug to the bow rather than the gunnel are very good. Very nice kayak for the money. Four stars for the stern slipping in the wind. Would buy again

I purchased this to install on a Sun Dolphin 8ft. kayak to improve tracking.... after quite a bit of modifications to both the kayak and the skeg... success! In order for the up and down to function you must loosen the pivot bolt... disassemble pully assemblies... lubricate and re fit... the pivot bolt should not have thread on its entire length... only on the bolt end... but after loosing and grease it pivots fine. Lil mini yak tracks much better now.
A kayak's tracking ability is influenced by its hull shape, length, and design. Longer kayaks generally offer better tracking due to their streamlined shape, while a flatter hull can provide stability. Additionally, features like skegs or rudders can enhance tracking by helping to maintain a straight course in various water conditions.
The design of a kayak plays a crucial role in its performance across various water conditions. Kayaks with a pointed bow and a sleek hull are better suited for calm waters and long-distance paddling, while wider, more stable designs excel in rougher conditions. Understanding the intended use and water environment can help you choose a kayak that performs well.
For tracking in open water, touring or sea kayaks are often the best choice due to their elongated shape and efficient hull designs. These kayaks are built for speed and distance, allowing for better straight-line paddling. Additionally, kayaks equipped with tracking fins or rudders can further improve their performance in open water.
Yes, the weight capacity of a kayak can impact its tracking performance. Overloading a kayak can cause it to sit lower in the water, which may lead to increased drag and reduced tracking efficiency. It's essential to choose a kayak that can accommodate your weight and gear without compromising its design and performance.
When selecting a kayak for long-distance paddling, consider factors such as hull design, length, and comfort features. A longer kayak typically offers better tracking and speed, while comfortable seating and storage options are essential for extended trips. Additionally, look for kayaks that are lightweight for easier transport and handling.
