Sea Eagle SE 330 Inflatable Kayaks and Canoe Reviews
3 Discount Packages available. starting at $249
I bought a used boat and saved a lot. The order was complete and every part was in perfect condition. The boat shipped for free and arrived in just a few days. The instructions were easy to follow and I had the boat together and inflated in less than 30 minutes using the foot pump. The inflatable seat is very nice and comfortable. I took the boat on a small lake for a test run. The boat handles more like canoe than a kayak. It was great for the calm lake and very comfortable to spend several hours in versus a hard plastic kayak. The boat was much heavier than I thought it would be. It was too difficult for me to carry to the water. I bought a small Kayak cart to roll it to the water. I am a female in my early 60s. I also purchased the 12v pump which makes inflating the boat easier. The storage bag is very large making it easy to fit everything back in the back for storage. The bag fits easily into my Camry trunk making it possible to take the boat camping and when I travel.

Love my SeaEagle 330! Due to over inflation and/or a manufacture defect in the seam stitching, my kayak busted a seam on the bottom after roughly 3-5 times on the water. I was able to communicate with costumer service with no problems at all, they explained what I needed to do and my new kayak was shipped to me within a matter of weeks! I have zero complaints with this boat. I have been on section 9 French Broad River near Asheville, NC (class 3-4 rapids) and the 330 handled like a champ! Comparing to a hard shell or traditional kayak, I like the seaeagle better for several reasons. Obviously the portability is huge plus, everything fits easily in my trunk and is ready to hit the water within 10 minutes. Also I appreciate the comfort of an inflatable, it's like floating down the river on an air-mattress! I constantly get asked questions and it is real head turner, A+++++++++ rating all the way around! Don't worry about it getting punctured either, it glides over rocks and shallows with ease!
I USE MY SEA EAGLE AS A TENDER AND AS A KAYAK. I KEEP IT ON TOP OF MY HARD TOP CABIN ON COEUR D ALENE LAKE. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN GREAT!!
It's a nice little boat for my 13 year old on lakes. I'd use it on a river that is flat (Class I) but would be hesitant on anything nearing Class III rapids. It sits rather high in/off the water and is pretty tipsy. For the price it's a good boat to learn basic paddling skills with though.
