This product did not disappoint and came in handy during our movie night! It feels sturdy and it was surprisingly comfy. Haven't tried filling it with water but will be trying it out next week at our outdoor event. You will love it!!!

My grandkids loved this, they played all day in this..big enough for 3 & 1 yr old. Very sturdy...VERY IMPRESSIVE...BETTER THAN I THOUGH IT WOULD BE!

**2020 v 2025** Bought one of these March 2020. Ordered a second on May 2025. The dated info printed on the inside of the kayaks is 2019 (for our 2020 purchase) and 2022 ( for our 2025 purchase). But I couldn't visually see a difference between the two. **Inflating** The manual pump is nice but I would definitely bring an electric if possible. I'm 5 feet tall and I was hunched over trying to stand and pump. It takes a short while...but today we were rolling out our gear as a father son rolled their canoe into the launch and by the time we had finally put in, they were heading back to launch when we started our journey (so 20+ minutes with three capable hands and kid wrangling). Considering all that, an electric pump is with shaving off some time, imo. **Set up** Very intuitive. You do it once and you'll remember the next time. Very simple and easy. **Maneuvering & Balance** We didn't put the skegs on and it made maneuvering tougher than it needed to be. I've seen other people have drilled holes and attached strings so it doesn't get lost. We will definitely try that next time. It felt a little unstable with my teen son in back. Not sure why we felt so tippy - he could have been overzealous or maybe that little fin really does help out. But no tip overs yet. Even my husband with our 6 year old in front trying to dangle his feet over the edge and trying to grab algae didn't tip over. **Fit** It's more than roomy enough for me (5' 120 lbs) and my 6 year old. I was able to stretch my legs out completely. My husband (6'1" 220lbs) said he needs to figure out a better way to sit. He's not very flexible and he said his feet fell asleep. My teen son (5'10" 140lbs) didn't complain. He's pretty athletic and flexible so he can manage to rearrange himself in different ways. But I think my teen son and husband would be most comfortable riding solo. This two person kayak would be perfect for one person and their gear. For our family of four: I paired up with my teen son; my kindergartner went with daddy. For what it is worth, my husband and teen son have shared one kayak before but they didn't bring any gear. **Seats** Again, my 6 year old and I were fine. We sat up straight. I definitely felt like my seat back could have been firmer and I had to pull the straps as tight as possible. My husband said he wasn't totally comfortable and he said it looked like my teen son was fully reclined the whole time. Tbh, I am not sure if my teen was being silly or lazy or if it was his preference, but he didn't make much effort to adjust and he didn't complain. **Patch Kit** We ended up puncturing our new kayak (2025) when we finished today. My husband dragged it against the dock where inexplicably there were three massive screws sticking pointy side out. We cleaned the area and placed the provided patch. The patches look a little meh. Will update with how it holds...but we're already planning on ordering a better patch kit. The ones provided are a nice extra but they're very basic. **Storage** We were able to deflate and place all the items back into the bag. Folding was fine - basic attentiveness was all it took. Some items with storage bags are impossible to shove back into their bags after use. But this was easy enough to get back into the bags. The bags themselves feel a bit flimsy but our first has lasted 5+ years. We'll continue to store it mindfully and hope it holds up. **Overall** We found we got our money's worth for our first purchase (2020). I was annoyed to see the price jump in 2025 but I can see the value even at this price point (currently $150). We'll definitely get our money's worth. While we'd absolutely prefer the hard kayaks, the inflatable ones are just easier to store and transport so they're the ones that make sense for our family of 4 right now.

Que la caja llegó maltratada

Big lump indicates seam came loose within 3 days after inflating and the middle section doesn’t stay inflated and can’t hear nor see where the hole is. I have to inflate the middle section every day and it only stays inflated about 3 hours and as soon as you sit on it- we’ll you know the rest…. This is my 3rd time buying this product and I’m so disappointed. The cost seems to go up I noticed because I purchased this inflatable love seat about a year or so ago.

The first time we filled it with ice, it melted fast because the bottom sits directly in the pool water with only a thin layer of plastic between. We solved this easily by buying a piece of craft foam at Michaels and trimming it to size. Now the bottom sits a couple inches out of the water and the ice lasts for hours!

Uno descansa con una tranquilidad muy satisfactoria

Love the chair, it is super comfy....when it is not slowly deflating due to tiny holes right on the inside seams. I had to get creative in order to find and patch them up. The patch that comes with the chair had about as much effect as decaffenaited coffee on a sleepy person. E600 and a rubber patch did the trick, stay away from original crazy glue or you might end up with some in your eye (did not happen, but the potential was there, the way it was spraying around with the escaping air) or all over your fingers (did happen, but I lucked out and did not glue myself to anything). Final thoughts? Go ahead and get it but be prepared to patch it frequently. In less than 4 months I had to patch up 4 holes, 3 of those were on the same seam and fairly close to each other.

For the end of summer sale it was worth the purchase I felt the plastic oar it's self was really thin but for what we used it for it didnt break .it does come in half so there's a smaller one for someone to paddle behind you . Got us through 5 hrs. of paddling in water we wouldn't get out and swim thru

I needed a short air mattress for the back of my SUV and this was the right length. The 7 inch thickness is also very comfortable. It would be a challenge to blow up and deflate manually, but I used an electric inflator to blow up and deflate it fast. The flocking on top is very thin, but it is better than the plain plastic. I was disappoint it came in pink, and it shows all the smudges easily. The description does say color may vary so you may also get a pink-or not. This mattress will be ok for occasional use for kids, but it probably won’t hold up over extended use.

I have bought this once before and it was great until the seam blew a hole, but I think it was due to folding and unfolding it every weekend. I got another and will leave it inflated and against the wall now. I do have a problem with the pump that came with this newer model(?). The cord can't be kept out like the previous version?? I had different models but it's hard to close the door on pump area if cord is out. I keep it out since I need to inflate but don't want to break the compartment door. I kept a previous version and figured out the electrical cord that goes onto pump is too fat to allow the cord to use the same space (notch) so I can close it to look cleaner and safer. Hope this makes sense. I am happy with the product it is comfy.

We just got back from our 4th kayak outing this Summer with the Intex Challenger: Pro’s: 1) The price (we got them on black Friday at a substantial discount) for what you get is really superb. Don’t be put off by a low price on these – they’re not cheap in any way. 2) Easy to transport and store. This was the primary reason we went with inflatables. I can toss them in the trunk of my car – no need for a roof rack. Also – they fold up and easily store in the supplied bag – allowing us to store them in a corner in the basement. A hardshell kayak will weigh 50+ lb’s making them harder to transport and store. 3) Setup is easy. I haven’t timed it but I suspect they inflate in less than 10 minutes. It’s really quick and easy to pull it out of the bag and have it ready to go in the water. 4) Very stable on the water. They’re easy to get in and out of (as easy as it can be anyways) – I’ve not come close to capsizing one. They feel stable and inspire confidence on the water. 5) Storage is adequate. You can store items behind the seat - I take my pump along on every trip just in case. It easily stows away behind the seat. The cargo net in the front of the kayak is sturdy and allows for ample storage for a dry bag and towels etc. 6) Light and easy to carry. Both my wife and I can carry them with ease. This allows us to setup on the shore then carry to a launch site with no trouble. A little awkward to carry – yes – but we have no real problems. 7) They feel very sturdy and well constructed. We’re careful not to overinflate them and avoid running into anything or grounding them. No concerns about leaks thus far. Con’s: 1) Comfort is just okay. I’m 5”9’ with pretty standard sized feet and I have a hard time getting super comfy in it. My feet feel a little cramped in the front compartment after a bit. It’s possible I need to experiment with the air pillow a bit more. That said – it’s not bad – I just wish it was a tad more comfortable. If you’re over 6” or have giant feet you may struggle with it. 2) Setup and tear down is easy – but it is a job you have to do every trip. They deflate pretty quickly – then you have to wipe them dry (lest you risk mold later on) then fold them up and store them back in the bag. Easy enough to do – but it adds probably 30 minutes (setup and teardown) to each trip. Not a big deal for us but a con nonetheless. 3) The valves are a real bear if you over-tighten. Now – the solution is to not over tighten them, but it’s a judgment call and I tend to err on the side of caution which leads to twisting a bit too much. If you do this it’s virtually impossible to loosen the valve to deflate without the aid of a tool (I keep a pair of Channellock’s in the trunk now just in case!!) which can be a problem getting them back home. I don’t blame this on the product but it’s something to be aware of. Just Okay: 1) The seat is comfy enough – but it’s not great. 2) I see some people in the reviews ding the supplied paddle as a negative. I find it to be fine and more than adequate for the inflatable. It’s light enough and moves the boat just fine. You’re not going to use it for an Olympic time trial but that’s not the purpose of this kayak! 3) Maneuverability. With the supplied skeg (the little plastic rudder like device you attach to the bottom of the boat) the kayak tracks straight and is easy to keep on course. If you forget the skeg or lose it you’re doomed! Overall the boat performs just fine – but understand it’s not going to perform like a hardshell kayak. Things to get along with your kayak: 1) You’ll likely want a PFD – get one designed specially for kayaking. You need to be able to move your arms and shoulders freely. Search for a kayak PFD and you’ll be fine. 2) A Dry bag. You’ll want a place to store items to keep them dry should the worst happen. In my dry bag I carry: a. Some rope and carabiners. Just in case. b. A loud Whistle. Recommended for emergencies. c. A waterproof carrying case for my phone. d. Bottled water. e. Granola bar. Final Thoughts: We’re supremely happy with the kayaks! For our wants/needs (we’re 60 years old and like puttering about on calm lakes and rivers) they’re awesome. Realizing they’re not perfect we are very happy with our purchases. A superb bang for the buck purchase and lots of fun.

As a complete newbie to boating, this is really an awesome boat/raft. I had a lot of doubts as the inflatable kayaks I’ve been on before have been really prone to currents and wind, but this boat is a behemoth. It’s simultaneously huge and spacious (took 2 friends, about 600 pounds total with 3 people total), extremely buoyant, easy to inflate and use, and not prone to winds or currents like other inflatables, really stable. I had hooked up a 55lbs thrust trolling motor and battery first time with no problems in about 10 minutes. For the price as well, $140 for a huge raft with really easy setup and deflation is exceptional. I would recommend the motor as the oars alone that come with it aren’t ideal for multiple people or against strong winds/currents. Overall I would highly highly recommend. This is probably the closest you can get to actual boating without breaking the bank or needing a truck for towing/parking space for the boat.

This kayak is great for the price that you pay. It is easy to store, transport, and inflate. It offers a range of accessories and attachments for various activities, especially fishing. There's enough room for two people to comfortably use the kayak together. It floats well when fully loaded, and is stable on the water. My only complaints are 1. The inflatable seats are a bit flimsy and 2. it seems to be a bit easy to puncture the material of the kayak itself. It had an air leak our first time using it, but it was easily patched. This proved it to be a pretty safe kayak though since it was able to remain afloat with two people even with one of the sides very low on air. This kayak is perfect for fishermen or couples looking to have a fun day of paddling without having to invest large amounts of money. I would recommend this kayak for lakes, ponds, gentle rivers, and marshes. I wouldn't advise taking it out on rough waters or any places with lots of sharp rocks. But it is perfect for getting out on the water at your local lake!

My family has really enjoyed having these on our camping trips! They are so nice and pretty comfortable for an air mattress. Almost like having real furniture for your tent! The sizes are great and the cup holders definitely come in handy!(No spilled drinks in the tent!)
