Für mich nehmen die Bewertungen bei Amazon einen immer höheren Stellenwert ein, was sich auch bewahrheitet. Wenn man im Internet nach aufblasbaren Kajak sucht kommen TOP Platzierungen, wenn man dann bei Amazon die Bewertungen auswertet, ist die Realität anders.Diese Kajak habe ich aufgrund der Bewertungen bei Amazon gekauft und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Ich schreibe die Bewertung, nachdem wir mit dem Kajak einen Indonesien Urlaub gemacht hatten. Das Kajak hatten wir in eine XXL Reisetasche mit Rollen verstaut, wiegt 24Kg (bei 30Kg international frei kein Problem) Wir waren an mehreren Orten mit keinen Inseln und hatten diese immer mit dem Kajak besucht. Das Kajak wurde aufgeblasen, wir waren jeden Tag damit unterwegs, dann wurde das Kajak verstaut, wir sind in Indonesien weiter geflogen und dann das ganze wieder von vorn.Ich wollte damit schreiben, dass das Kajak wirklich strapaziert wurde, aber ohne eine einzige Panne! Super!Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit mit dem Kajak und haben Orte erreicht, welche man ohne Boot oder Schiff (die es in der Region nicht gab) nie erreicht hätten. Da wir nur zu zweit im Kajak waren, hatten wir genug Platz für Getränke und unsere Schnorchelausrüstung incl. Taucherflossen. Auch einen kleineren Wellengang auf dem Meer ist für das Kajak kein Problem.Dieses Kajak ist nicht in den Rankings oder Tests vorn, aber eine 100% Empfehlung!

it is fantastic. I am blown away with how stable and great this is. My wife and I have been out fishing, and exploring in this. Due to the light weight and profile, it is not great n heavy winds but otherwise a very nice boat that is easy to set up and take anywhere.

I found this Kayak easy to use and to carry so get into smaller lakes without any docks or boat launches wasn't a problem. We used it to fish for pike and Trout and found it stable enough to land fish. The only downfall was the fact that I'm a big dude and trying to get out was a problem because the sides ballooned me in lol. So I would almost have to roll over on my side the pull myself out. I'm sure there were a few snickers from people watching Haha. 8^)

My husband and I moved to Vancouver with a dream of being able to explore the waters. The Sea Eagle has made these dreams a reality! We have had this kayak for about a year, and I couldn't be happier. It fits our family of 3 (mom, dad and toddler) comfortably. Our small dog and a bag for snacks and water can fit as well. We have taken it out dozens of times on lakes and the Pacific Ocean (inlets of Vancouver). It is sturdy, reliable, easy to assemble and has responsive steering. The air valves make inflation and deflation dummy-proof, and the foot pump is efficient. Set up takes about 5-10 minutes.It's heavy, so we now have a collapsible wagon that can carry everything to our launch point. Then, we bungee the wagon to the back of the kayak, and off we go! We also have a small, collapsible dolly that the kayak can bungee to, and we can carry the accessory bag (which has ample room for everything included in the package, plus our three life vests).Our family feels very safe in this craft. I would not recommend it for extremely choppy waters (check the conditions before going out), but it has served us well for our purposes. Even with some wind, large wake and strong tides, we have managed to get from point A to point B with no problems - it just takes a tad more man power. There have been zero punctures or leaks, and we use it regularly.I would highly recommend this kayak to anyone seeking ongoing adventure on a budget. It's a dream come true.

Enjoyable and rugged whatever your limitations, capabilities and risk tolerance.Paddled the Sea Eagle 370 to the Boston Harbor Outer Islands a few times, Buzzards bay a few times, Ninigrit National Wildlife Refuge, Slocum River, Contotook River, and the Hudson River. Caught black sea bass, fluke, stripers, and blues. Each trip was 5-10 miles and fun as heck.Bobbed over 3 ft swells, ferry wakes, and chaotic chop. Have not yet felt at risk of capsizing. Almost fell out playing around in the bow with a fish finder transducer bracket. [lesson: keep a line tied to you and the sea eagle on open water.] If you do capsize (unlikely) or fall out (more likely), it is easier to get back into the Sea Eagle than a kayak. Practice before going offshore. It's fun and will build your confidence/competence.Dragged the Sea Eagle over coastlines strewn with shells and pebbles. Hit submerged river rocks and bounced around/over them. The closet I've come to puncturing it is (a) hooks (b) knives. [lesson: (a) No knives are on board (b) all hooks must be grounded in a (wine) corks. Be really careful casting, and even more careful landing fish].Make sure the inflation caps are on securely. The bottom seat bag twice deflated after the cap rubbed against something and somehow worked itself loose. [lesson: like a boat propeller or sailboat boom - keep the inflation caps clear]Aside: When the water temp gets cold, I will try towing an inexpensive, one person, inflatable as back-up.Takes more work to get from point A to point B compared to the hard shell kayaks. For reference If you can propel a hard shell 3 mph for 5 miles, plan on 2.5 mph in the Sea Eagle. The good news is that the Sea Eagle will melt away more extra calories and in increase your upper body strength :).Tracks into 10 mph gusting 14 mph breezes 200+ lbs on board without much more effort than a hard shell kayak. Like most vessels, yaws when running with swells. Adding a keg might help, but I drag it up on the shore and portage over sand/rock bars frequently and don't want to bother removing it each time. The 2 skegs already on the Sea Eagle haven't broken yet.Get the best seat they offer. If you plan on taking gear or two adults without much gear, get the bigger version. Probably not much difference in performance. One is heavier to carry.Why a sea eagle and not a sea kayak?- Lower cost- Transport solo and without car racks- Requires much smaller storage space after use- greater capacity for fishing gear, picnic stuff, camping stuff- More stability if you move around. Less likely to capsize- easier to get back in if you swamp or fall out (see below)- friends and family without car racks can borrow it.- if it gets damaged, lost, or stolen, unpleasant but replaceable and not a huge loss of money..Why a kayak and not a Sea Eagle? - Faster and easier to cover distances- more convenient if you can store it at the water and use if frequently from the same place- Tougher construction, hard to puncture unless you really hit something hard- Novices can rent and get lessonsWhy either?- I paddled about a mile out on Buzzards Bay to fish a ledge. The only other boat around was a huge, beautiful, 100+ foot yacht at anchor. When I got closer to it, I saw couple kayaks tied off the stern. Ask them.- Paddle to an island or light house and experience the warm and special reception reserved for paddlers- Feel ten feet tall when captains hail hello and make you feel part of their world.- Tell fish stories to prove you are no longer New England's worst fisherman.- Scoff at novice boaters and yahoos on the water.- Let your sweetheart see and feel your new body.- Watch family and friends laugh and play.Set-up/break down: Takes about 15 minutes to set up and same amount of time to dry and roll up, no biggie. Foot pump is fine. Make sure the inflation hole caps are on securely.Maintenance - After deflating, dry it with a towel or you'll get mildew. I bring a big sponge on board to soak up what little water that might get in and wipe the kayak off after use. Drying towels in the car trunk are handy when you get back ashore.A fun and creative project is to add a PVC bracket to mount a Signtek-type portable fish finder with holders for the display, a fishing rod, and a flag (or light).Heavy duty carry bag, but wish it bag had 2 back pack style straps. It's awkward and uncomfortable to carry.Final note: It's not if, but when you will have an unplanned event. Fun can quickly turn ugly if you don't plan for emergencies, don't file a float plan, or don't pay attention to the weather and water conditions. It can turn tragic if you don't wear a PFD. Respect your capabilities and limitations.

Very well made, tracks straight, comfortable, light and easy to inflate/deflate. Worth the money as it is high quality along with the seats and paddles. Theres lots of room for 2 or 3 people or 2 people and a lot of camping / travel gear etc..This would be a good kayak to go on a weekend or longer adventure. It is so easy and fast if you have to deflate it and put it in your vehicle and inflate it somewhere else. No tieing it to the roof and worrying if it is tied down securely etc.. Lots of room in the kayak for 2 taller people or for fishing etc..I love to go out on the water stretch out laydown and just let it float with the waves. Sometimes i'll go out 30 feet and tie it to a tree on shore and pass out for hours enjoying the warm sunshine and breeze off the water.I definitely would buy one again or another Sea Eagle product !KevinAvid Kayaker & Lounger

We just got this yesterday and of course, we pumped it up in the living room to test it. It was a little tedious to figure out what went where because we didn't know what we were doing but we just kept looking at the directions.It was much bigger and more comfortable than we expected. In the house it looked positively skinny where you have to put your butt, but when you sit it in it kind of comforms to your shape. I am not "little".. I am about 5'1" and 170 pounds and I was fine. I also put my 2 kids in with me... one weighs 105 the other 67 pounds. There is a little overlapping of feet, but not too cramped. I was very impressed with the thickness of the material it is made of and the workmanship. It was much bigger and nicer than I expected. So today we took it to the lake for a test. Now that we knew what to do my 9 year old basically set it up and pumped it up in about 8 minutes by herself. My husband (5'10" 170 pounds) and the above mentioned 2 kids (342 pound total) took it out. What a hoot! I honestly kind of expected it to tip or sink and then have to pack it up and send it back to Amazon, but WOW!... it was amazing. It tracked straight and went pretty fast... although the lake was very calm when we were there. We have only been kayaking twice (and that was only for an hour each time), so we are not experts but my husband said it felt no different than the hardsided kayak he had used before. If there were a wind I guess it would have been harder, but he was amazed at the performance. I think the double skegs on the bottom really help, because other brands that don't have the skegs seem to have alot of poor performance reviews, but that is just my opinion. Then my husband let my kids do it alone (just the 2 of them) and they did great! They didn't go far, but they were able to handle it and maneuver it well. It was a little bit of a pain to try to dry it off enough (we went late in the day so we couldn't let it air dry), and you have to get into the nooks and crannies.. but we did what we could and when we got home we pumped it up in the basement near the dehumidifier so hopefully it will finish drying it off. Once you know what you are doing, it only takes a few minutes to pump it up. I did alot of research before I made this purchase, and it seemed that this was the best for the money... and I am very happy. I actually was thinking of the Sea Eagle 330 and was about to buy it when I checked the prices and the 370 was actually $25 less than the 330 that day (and $75-125 less than the 370 had been a few days before). Now I see the price has gone up again, but keep checking as the price seems to fluctuate. (I actually paid $224 for the 370 about a week ago) So if the convenience of not having to cart it, store it, carry it, like a hard sided one (not to mention paying more) appeals to you... give it a try... I was more than pleasantly surprised.And thank you to all the other reviewers that helped me make this decision!9/2/12 We took it out again to the same lake and had even more fun with it. My husband and the 2 kids decided to try to get to the other side of the lake. It had taken about 25 minutes in the hard sided kayak, so I waited about 5 or 6 minutes before I got in the car and went to meet them on the other side of the lake. I couldn't see them so I prepared to sit and wait in the car. Next thing I knew my kids were knocking on the window of the car... THEY HAD MADE IT BEFORE ME! My husband said it seemed to move quicker than the hard sided one he had used before. Also we had people watching us pump it up. One person came to talk to us about it and said he was going to get one based on what he saw with ours and the fact that even the kids could handle it. Still really happy with the purchase. BUT, although the bag is big, it is heavy and the kayak and pump, etc do add up to more weight than I want to handle... so I am getting a tub with wheels on it so I can drag it to the water easier.8/24/13 Still Happy!~ Working great! No problems! I am not that strong, so I bought a garbage can on wheels to store it in. I can pull it out of the van and wheel it to the lake. Dry it when done and wheel it to the car and into the storage area at home. No problems, no mold, still good as new! BTW, drying it is much easier IF you dump the water out of the self bailing plug in the end (which I just noticed! Duh!)
