This is my 4th Kayak but my 1st tandem. We purchased it so we would not have to bring so many kayaks for the family to enjoy the sport together. First time out I had my eight- year- old son in front of me and my five- year- old son behind me and I paddled from the center of the kayak. I was able to navigate with no problem with only me paddling and turning was a breeze. It tracks very straight and true. Later in the day I moved to the rear of the kayaked with the five- year- old in the middle and the eight- year- old in the very front. Even when my son in the front got tired of paddling, I was able to control the whole boat from the rear with minimal extra effort. I will be taking this on a camping trip by myself as a solo kayak because I have so much extra room for all my camping gear. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice big solo or a good tandem.

I bought one a couple months ago. My wife and I own several different kayaks. The Rambler is the most stable kayak I have ever tried. I can bring just about anything along that I want; A big cooler, big tackle box, anchor., fishing pole. I bring cushions along. Why? So I can put the seat backrest down and take a nap on this kayak! I take toddlers along and they feel very secure on the kayak. One note, I bought a role of Velcro to put on the seat surfaces so the seat does n't slide around. I just bought a second Rambler to bring my novice friends out with me.

FIRST kayak so do not have anything to compare to all I can say is it is very stable can haul your cooler and wife and still seems easy to paddle. It is easy to get in and out of and no problems hauling in pickup.

My husband and I had two single kayaks and decided on a tandem for river trips. We were looking at much more expensive ones thinking$ 1000. was what we would have to spend on one. We just happened to be walking through Dick's Sporting goods and saw this one. It is an excellent buy at$ 450. and the quality rivals our other two Ocean brand kayaks. It is very stable and tracks nicely.

After renting this kayak from the local park multiple times, I finally purchased my own. It tracks really well as either a tandem or single( sitting in the middle seat). Foot wells are permanent but clip on seats are adjustable for the ultimate fit. Feels very sturdy and would take a large amount of effort to flip it. Not a lot of storage( I pack light anyway) but comfort and stability more than make up for that. Great kayak for me, my son, and dog, but at 12ft and under 60lbs., it is very manageable for those solo outings too. All around great kayak and would highly recommend.

It blew my mind how comfortable I felt in the middle going solo in adverse conditions. I 've had it in some large surf and some heavily currented waters. Not only did I never have any issues of any kind, I never felt like I was n't in control. It's not ideal for fishing, but it can be achieved with some patience and attention to detail. Paddle on!

Nice heavy duty kayak, yet light enough to be handled by one person. Trails nicely. Do suggest buying a set of scupper plugs though.

This kayak is super stable for one or two people in high surf and great at tracking on waves. I love this kayak for fishing, surfing or just cruising. It is worth every penny and more!!!!!

This is the same one we used while on vacation in Maui and loved it. Dicks was great to work with and ordering it for me. It came to my home as promised. A very good experience.

very sleek and fast kayak, the steering is great. ... I ’ d say the Old Town is much more durable. ... The Hobie Lynx is much lighter, almost like an SUP board and almost as fast, though it lacks gunwales, which is less of a concern than you think it might

[ This is my go to fishing craft for the ocean. it has a lot of rocker which helps the boat in choppy conditions. I have paddle every kayak imaginable and this is one of the fastest. Its stable with tone of comfort like tracks and a super comfy seat. I spend up to 8 hrs on the water when I go out. I also guide trips out of this boat. it has a high weight capacity, unmatched bomb proof drive, super fast, and stable. I do n't stand up on this kayak but I am sure you could on a calm lake. My favorite boat from Old Town

[ I love the new colors! I really appreciate the price drop+ new features( front hatch and through hull mount) I got this to replace an Old Town Predator( 2020) I bought used off someone. The Predator was way too big for my small car and was a bit annoying to transport to the beach. This is a foot shorter and 15lbs lighter which does n't sound like much but it feels way better. I ca n't think of a single thing to complain about!

[ Awesome kayak. Perfect for saltwater fishing. Very fast and stable.

[ Purchased in 2021 and have enjoyed it every chance I get! Generally fish the Great Lakes, and it handles the rougher water and beach launching in the surf very well. The peddle drive makes several miles trips out on the water pretty easy, not to mention keeping your hands free from the paddle. Large rear and front wells are great for the dog/ kids to come along. I can walk it down a few blocks to the lake with a small cart with ease, so it's not too difficult to move around.

Bought a month ago. Bag was bigger and heavier that it appeared on the computer screen and makes it difficult to haul along a dirt trail to hard- to- reach areas but quality is good.
When selecting a family kayak, consider features such as stability, capacity, and ease of entry and exit. Look for kayaks designed to accommodate multiple passengers comfortably, with ample space for gear. Additional features like built-in storage compartments and adjustable seating can enhance the overall experience for family outings.
Family kayaks are typically made from durable materials such as polyethylene, which offers excellent resistance to impacts and UV rays. Inflatable kayaks may use high-quality PVC or nylon for lightweight portability without sacrificing strength. Understanding the materials can help you choose a kayak that meets your family's needs for durability and performance.
Yes, inflatable kayaks can be a great option for families, offering portability and ease of storage. Many inflatable models are designed with stability and comfort in mind, making them suitable for calm waters and recreational paddling. However, it's important to ensure that the inflatable kayak has a sufficient weight capacity and is made from robust materials for family outings.
For family outings on lakes, tandem kayaks are often the best choice as they provide enough space for two or more paddlers. Look for kayaks that offer stability and comfort, especially if you have young children on board. Additionally, kayaks with a wider hull design can enhance stability, making them ideal for leisurely paddling and exploring.
Choosing the right size kayak involves considering the number of family members who will be using it and their combined weight. Tandem kayaks typically accommodate two adults, while larger models may support additional children or gear. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for weight limits and dimensions to ensure a comfortable fit for your family.
Families can enjoy a variety of activities with a kayak, including leisurely paddling, fishing, and exploring calm waters. Kayaking can also be a fun way to bond while enjoying nature and getting some exercise. Depending on the kayak's design, families may also engage in water sports or simply relax on the water during sunny days.
