Sea Eagle 393rl Inflatable Kayaks and Canoe Reviews

I love using my Sea Eagle kayak. Its portability is especially important to me as I transport it in my rv and use it when I find a suitable lake or river.

My only hesitation to fully recommend it involves leaks. I replaced it once when I first purchased it because the tear was under the seam and not fixable.

The boat is great and we had a lot of fun with it this summer. I wish Sea Eagle would post a detailed YouTube video of the procedure for folding it up and getting it back in the bag after use. The directions are not super clear, and we struggled with that part of it. The electric pump was also well worth the money. Made it much, much easier to inflate.

My wife and I have been very happy with our purchase of a pair of 393rl kayaks from Sea Eagle. They handle well in the water with decent speed for an inflatable kayak. The stitching is high quality and surfaces clean easily. My only suggestion for improvement is to make the foot rests easier to install. We have to exert a lot of physical strength right now to bend the material enough to get the rods to slip into the intended slots. Overall, we recommend the product highly for anyone who is looking for a smooth ride on an inflatable kayak.

The performance of a rigid kayak, but you can put it in a car trunk. I’ve owned a number of rigid, inflatable and frame kayaks over the years and I am very impressed with this kayak. I can keep up with people in rigid touring kayaks with no problem. I paddle it regularly without the skeg and find it easy to steer. I often fish from it. As a performance boat it doesn’t have the stability many other inflatables have. It would not be my choice for a sailboat tender for example. The folding seat had good adjustment points, but I was less impressed with the two strap option on the inflatable seat, although this can be remedied fairly easily. I find both seats less comfortable than most which is the biggest drawback for me. The included paddle is well built and functional, but those who will be doing much touring will probably want to upgrade. I strongly suggest the adjustable foot brace option. Their power inflator is also a great option.
