Sea Eagle Inflatable Kayaks – The Good and the Bad

In the inflatable kayak world Sea Eagle is a well known and respected brand name and company. In my search for an inflatable kayak, I spent a lot of time researching different brands, makes and models of kayaks. I learned a lot about Sea Eagle boats like why they are so popular, what makes them special as well as the negatives of using one of their inflatable kayaks.

Why are Sea Eagle Inflatable Kayaks so Popular?

  • They are very affordable. Sea Eagle offers kayaks ranging in price from $250 up to just over $1000. They have something that everyone can afford.
  • They offer inflatable kayaks that will perform on every type of water. Sea Eagle kayaks, especially their explorer kayaks can handle flatwater paddling and still take on heavy whitewater rapids. They are extremely versatile.
  • They offer something for everyone. There are three different styles of kayaks to choose from. There is the Sport Kayaks which are more of a beginner kayak/canoe that is perfect for someone just wanting to get out on the water and have some fun. There is the Explorer Kayaks which are bigger and more rugged. They are excellent for kayaking lakes, whitewater rapids and ocean swells. The Explorer Kayaks can be used for exploration and adventure. Then there is also the PaddleSki which is a completely versatile kayak that offers the option of paddling, rowing, sailing or motoring.
  • They are light enough to bring traveling or anywhere you want to go in the world. Sea Eagle inflatable kayaks range in weight from a mere 24 pounds up to 52 pounds. They are great for camping, vacationing, fishing, relaxing and adventure.

Why are Sea Eagle Inflatable Kayaks so Special?

  • Sea Eagle kayaks are as rugged and sturdy as they could possible be. For an inflatable boat they are practically solid as a rock. It is just about impossible to puncture one of these boats… they are excellent quality.
  • All Sea Eagle inflatable boats come with a standard 3 year warranty and a 180 day risk free trial. You can return your kayak within 6 months for a full refund with absolutely no hassles if you are not completely satisfied.
  • Sea Eagle kayaks are completely sturdy and great for beginner kayakers up to advanced kayakers.
  • The comfort level of their inflatable kayaks are bar none. They offer the option of purchasing their high back deluxe seats which are a dream to kayak on and offer excellent back support.
  • Each Sea Eagle inflatable kayak can be used as a tandem kayak or converted into a solo kayak.

The Negatives of Using a Sea Eagle Inflatable Kayak

  • They are not fast. They offer complete sturdiness but not high speeds. Do not expect to be the fastest boat in the water
  • Tracking is only so-so. The tracking isn’t bad and for recreational use there will be no problem. However if you are used to using a high performance kayak that offers great tracking and speed, you may be disappointed.

Final Thoughts on Sea Eagle Inflatable Kayaks

After all of my research I did become a fan of the Sea Eagle kayaks. My particular favorite is the 380 which is one of the explorer kayaks. They are great for the recreational kayaker who wants a great quality boat for an affordable price. I also loved that Sea Eagle puts together a package for you that includes your kayak, paddles, seats, pump and bag… all for a great price. Even though there are a few negatives, I still think that most people would be quite happy with these boats. It’s just a matter of finding the right that will suit your needs. However there are lots of other great brands of inflatable kayaks as well that all offer different pros and cons. I would suggest spending a little time on your research before you choose which kayak to purchase.
