We have two yellow inflatable Qayaks. A friend, who says she bought them for $300+ several years ago, told such a story of such frustration the first and last time she tried to inflate them on a muddy beach on the Chesapeake Bay (and deflate the muddy mess to back in her car), that she happily gave them to me. "Good riddance!" she said. We store them under our lakeside cabin, inflated year-round. After a couple years, one of them sprouted a leak on the valve stem, which my dad says is fixed now after some fiddling (I'm skeptical). They are one-person kayaks and users must be skinny (I'm a 5'10" 150-lb woman, size 8-10 but it squeezes me).

I bought a Qayak over the summer. It has some pros and cons. First the good: Great price, fast delivery, Boston valves, has some big detachable skegs that make it track really well.

The negative aspects of this product are: It has an "open hull design" that is it lets in water in the front and back (i sat in a puddle of cold water for hours), it has 12 small drain plugs that don't fit very well- that lets in water too. My boat had a cracked Boston valve fitting. I discussed all of these issues with Qayak customer service and they agreed to send a new bladder to fix the cracked Boston valve. After a month and not receiving this replacement part, I emailed them again. Now it is 10 days later and still no response or replacement part. So I have to give their customer service a fail and the product over all a failure. It leaks! I believe this is a company that will disappear within a year

Nice boat for weekend users. I like the idea of helping out a small company, and Qayak seems to be just that. Great customer service, delivery times, etc. Nice folks. Never had to use the warranty, but it seems like a good one.

As stated previously, the draft of the boat is pretty low. I think this is good for wind, but I prefer to be up a bit higher. The boat drains well with the self-bailing inserts popped out, and I like the seats. Good foot bars, too.

The tube fabric is, I think, Denier 1000 and is very durable. The inside floor seems durable, albeit a thinner material. I went and got some shower pan liner material to put on top of the floor to avoid punctures. I may be paranoid, but c'est la vie.

Good skegs - a trial to remove / attach so we just leave them on. The tandem model (which we bought) came with throwaway paddles, so plan on getting a couple of those.

I like the Qayak a lot - we've scraped over rocks and hit Colorado River Class III without anything bad happening to boat or riders. It seems stable and well put together. Great price, too.

I was searching the internet for a cheap inflatable to use this summer on a small lake for fishing. I found the Qayak website and after drilling them with several questions decided to take a chance on an unknown boat. Fifteen years ago my first "kayak" was a Sevylor Tahiti which I wore out over the next four years. Since then I’ve owned about 12 hard shell boats the remaining two being a Dagger Calisto and a Prijon Eski.

So anyway, the other day I tried it out for the first time. It’s good, for the price it’s real good. For its intended use it will work fine. Mine measured out at 32" wide by 10'6" long fully inflated. It weighs 26 lbs with the seat installed. The seating area is narrow so if you are a wide body you might want to look elsewhere or maybe at the tandem model.

The design is clever and the construction seems very good. Long term will determine that. The foot rest peg design works very well. The seat is heavy and clumsy and the seat back is too high for what I'm used to. I might just use a back band and my Sealine seat pad. The pump did not fit the Boston valves snugly enough and required a hand hold, this would be very frustrating for a newbie.

The two skeg design really helped tracking. I could not get them out after deflating so I just left them in. The mesh bag is a throw away. I made a sling carrier from a canvas grocery bag and it works well.

The boat is very comfortable on the water. I used a high angle stroke with a 220 cm Onno paddle and it tracked pretty good. It also has a bit of glide to it. It has a lower profile than most inflatables which helps in the wind.

I gave it an 8 as a boat but for the price, $214 + $25 shipping it gets a 9, have fun...
