Sea Eagle SE 370 Inflatable Kayaks and Canoe Reviews

We swallowed the anchor 4 years ago and moved to the forest. I thought my fun on the water was done. Sailing was something we could all enjoy. Some friends took us kayaking and it was fun. We had a hard time getting Barley comfortable on the kayak. He loves to sit on the tallest object which was the outside! This was not working. We needed an open design. I was thrilled to find a 3 person inflatable kayak to fit us, the dog and some gear! The 370 is a joy to paddle, great tracking and so comfortable.

This is my third Sea Eagle kayak. I decided to move from the 330 to the 370. I was a little concerned that it might be harder for one person to handle in the water, especially in rough, windy conditions - but it is not. It handles very well. I am having a bit of trouble carrying it by myself. Overall, this is an awesome personal watercraft.

Not sure whether I wanted to invest in a hardshell kayak and all the acoutrements one would require, I thought I'd give the SE 370 a go. I was able to take it out on a nearby lake about six times last year before winter came on strong. Pluses: inflation is a snap, although I usually wound up strapping it to the top of my car, which was pretty easy to do. It's not very heavy, although its length does make it a bit cumbersome for one person to carry. On the water, it is stable and I feel very secure. Minuses: I wish it could go a little faster and straighter on the water. I've experimented with where to locate the seat (when I go out alone), and some tips I got from customer service (when I called) have helped. Conclusion: a nice craft for simple pleasure floating on a lake (I haven't tried it in a river yet), and a pretty good value. A serious kayaker wishing to make a fuller commitment to the sport might want to go with another model (or hardshell).

There's was nothing in your literature that said it was sourced out of China. How much air to put in bottom chamber. Should be a gauge of some kind.

Seats. From pics looks like seats are fastened down. Of course they aren't. Seat always leans back. Very uncomfortable after a period of time. Seats should be higher up. The paddle rubs on RH air chamber. Very hard to get out of. I've been dumped in Miss. River twice trying to get out. One of my boys has a hard shell one so we will go up river this summer to see which one takes the most energy. No place to put any thing. If you place some thing between your legs than can't
