"I reviewed and researched and hunted high and low for an "inexpensive" kayak since I do not intend to become an expert and just wanted to get something to go out on a smooth lake or a well behaved river... And true kayakers will scoff at your purchase but they will grudgingly acknowledge the value of this kayak in the context of what it is made for and that is children, middle aged weekend kayakers, and people who want to destress kayaking not test their mettle against nature."
"I bought mine from a business with a headquarters in Arkansas. My girlfriend and I had signed up (off Amazon Local) for a guided kayak tour. I was looking for an activity I could do, where I could get outside, and where so long as it wasn't too extreme, the weather would not be a factor (I live in Florida, so pretty much year round we can get out). There's plenty of room in the cockpit and I don't have the foot rests all the way forward. Because the weight capacity of this kayak is 250 lbs, and I'm getting pretty close to that limit, it probably sits a bit low in the water, but I don't seem to find that to be a problem. And there is another big company out there (once famous for it's mail order catalog), and we got hers for $199.99. If you're looking into a kayak, and don't want to spend a lot of money, I would recommend the Aruba 10."

"The items included, 2 dry bag storage compartments, the seat with backpack, bungee tie downs, 4 rod holders (with hardware installed for optional 5th), and the paddle are all terrific items to be included at the low price."
"I love my Kayak."
"Omg 101% satisfaction , 5 days to be in my house , arrived in a 45 feet truck , perfect Condition , I went to fish with it in a bay with waves and wind no no problem , I'm just so happy with it."
"My kayak arrived in 5 days and was wrapped in a plastic sheet, around a packing blanket, around a bunch of bubble wrap. I use a pulley system to store the kayak from the garage ceiling and the automatic garage door clears the kayak easily."
"kayak is great so far, seat not so much."
"Perfect beginner kayak and fits in the back of my 2004 Dodge Dakota at an angle."
"I am a big fan of the 2 storage containers as well, since they kept my phone and other sensitive gear dry."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this bc it's weight capacity says 400lbs, & I figured it would be a perfect way to figure out if I wanted to, would enjoy or could use a hard shell kayak, without spending $500+ So I'll start with set up- relatively simple. I put mine in at a boat launch on a very slow moving river, which ended up being very helpful bc of the incline of the ramp. Since its inflatable, and somewhat flexible I was able to get my leg over it and adjust my position while straddling it and standing in the water. Since the middle sunk slightly, both the front and back end, were lifted out of the water a bit. I'm top heavy, my chest gets in the way slightly, and so does my belly, however I am able to sit up right on the floor with my legs together, in front of me, but it's not terribly comfy. I ended up sitting with my legs straight out but open with my feet slightly hanging off. When I returned to the ramp I found it slightly difficult at first to exit the kayak. I'd say it's more like 300lb person max, with 25lbs of gear split between the front & back ends to balance the weight out a bit."
"My kayak arrived 2 days after order and I had a planned to head to the lake with a friend to try it out immediately. I ordered new paddles before my kayak arrived because of so many other reviewers reporting how crappy the ones are that come with the kayak and I must agree on that point. It was easy and quick to inflate but I have yet to figure out the back pack which also is the back support, The kayak fully inflated is very light and easy to transfer from the car to the lake area. It takes a while to balance and paddle at the same time as it does not track as well as a hard shell kayak but I got into a great rhythm and figured out how far to place the paddles in the water to maintain my stride and balance."
"(I use my old paddle instead, which works far better). I found a neat way to carry the boat is to push the paddle under the triangle bungee tree on the bow and hook the back of the paddle under the seat straps. You just lift the whole thing up with one hand and carry it away!"
"The boat itself is just great- it's durable, lightweight, very stable, and comfortable (way more comfortable that any hard kayak I've been in). I have had the larger Sevylor 2-person kayak for about 3 years and am still enjoying it, got this one to add to the fleet and for solo missions."
