sorted byIt is really stable and you would struggle to capsize it (we tried), or come out of it by accident. The sides are substantial and you will find that a longer paddle is better for that reason, but this is also what gives it its stability. Read the reviews on the Decathlon site, there is lots of information there about it.
We usually use it with two ~80kg adults and a 10kg dog. There is lots of room for two adults and a dog and bits and pieces, rucksacks, etc. We have also had an extra adult, approx 65kg with us, but I would say this was a squeeze and made the kayak heavier to handle (two people paddling).
Otherwise, it is very manoeuvrable, very stable and lots of fun. Not just for paddling about either, we've probably paddled well over 15km out on a loch on a single day. We can spend whole days out on it, sunbathing, relaxing, exploring, eating, etc etc, and been out probably >25 times now; no repairs as yet.
Other info: Takes about 10-15 minutes to set up from scratch using manual pump. There's a little USB rechargeable electric pump you can buy off eBay/Amazon which was £16 when I bought it. This holds enough charge to blow it up once, then top off to correct pressure manually. Better than the ridiculously priced electric Decathlon option. We regularly 'beach' it when bringing it in, no problems with tears. We are always careful not to over-pressurise it. Needs a quick check before using it on a second day just to top up air. Have never needed to top up over just one day, no matter how many hours' use. We bought 215cm oars first because that was all Decathlon had in the shop, but have since bought the more expensive adjustable 230?cm ones - longer is better. You can get drip guards - little rubber things that go around the ends of the paddle, only about a fiver and stop a lot of back splash if you are planning some serious paddling. We found dry bags unnecessary. You can tuck a rucksack in at the back of the boat where it stays dry
I don't know, give it a try. We got hooked and have had endless hours of fun.
Final word: GET LIFE JACKETS! I don't hesitate to recommend this kayak, but don't take any chances. And another little gem: the weather can change within minutes, literally, on any loch.
For the person who asked about the sea, the closest we've been to that is paddling out around Isle Martin (Ullapool). Kayak handled it perfectly well, but it was an eye-opener for me feeling the swell of the current beneath the boat as we turned towards shore. It makes you realise just how powerful oceans must be. Otherwise, we've been out on Loch Awe, Lubnaig, Tay and many others. Plenty of currents, waves, and hard paddling in one direction, but nothing has felt quite like that 'ocean swell'. I don't think this kayak would 'cut' through the wind and water the way a traditional low profile plastic canoe might if that is necessary for sea kayaking. Its comparatively high sides make it far less aerodynamic, but again, that is what gives it its stability. Handling vs safety and comfort. So I don't know if it is good for the sea, I only know it has been good for us even on some stormy lochs. And even better for lazy days in the sunshine.
How easy? It'll take a bit of effort- probably 2/3 minutes of continuous effort for each side rib.
Also if anything happens and one flips over, at least yourself (& one child) can paddle quicker to shore for help if needed, or help get them back into theirs
I'm just thinking of diffeent scenarios, probably extreme but always plan for the worst, esp on deep water (edited)
In case of falling out and it being drifted away quicker you can swim to it, much like a surfer board? (edited)
Whether you get an electric or manual pump, getting one with a deflate option is worthwhile too. Even after letting the air out by opening the valves, there will still be air left inside the deflated kayak. Sucking all the air out of the kayak using a pump's deflate connection, makes it so much easier to fold and fit back in the bag. (edited)
Tahiti Plus 3 person Inflatable kayak kit with 3 Paddles and Pump - Blue / Red
For info, this would be very occasional usage with 1 adult, 2 kids not paddling very far - so don't necessarily need top quality
I'm only after a kayak for myself. There are a few vids on Youtube which say it's fine for one person though.
this deal has expired btw. At least at £199. Back up to £249.99
had a fun day with the kids.
felt solid.
I saw another family out on another inflatable.
looked like they were sinking !
That extra hundred though has me going round in circles.
Thanks for the reminder.
I’ve tried a few electric ones and they are very slow.
I use this one and can have it ready in under 10mins.
