Wilderness Systems Pamlico 135 | Sit Inside Recreational Kayak

My wife and I love to use this. It can be used as a single or both of us can kayak together (of course I do all the paddling). It is comfortable and well made. Over all I give it a top rating.

The wife and I have taken this out multiple times on Puget Sound- not exactly what you'd call extreme kayaking. It's a dream on calm days, but holds its own when the tide's rolling in and the water gets choppy. I never felt like this was going to roll over. It's super helpful, since my wife is a novice, and the stability makes her feel comfortable out on the water.Beyond that, the kayak's seats are remarkably comfortable, and the foot rests are a real nice touch. I'm 6 foot, and I fit nicely in the back seat (don't feel cramped at all). The dry hatch in the back is nice- you can store some smaller things, though be warned that while it won't let in water from the outside, it's not immune to condensation.I guess the only complaint I could possibly have with this is the cupholders are pretty much only good for cans- anything larger just flips right out. If that's my one complaint, then you know that this thing's solid! :)

the kayak came in bubble foam. delivery was handled by amazon and nothing was damaged. i attached a photo of the full size of the kayak here for reference. a little bit drama about the delivery as they delayed it for 2 days. got it 2 weeks ago, and we tried it for the first time today. before this kayak, we bought 2 singles Pelican kayaks, which in comparison to this tandem kayak are....like armature (Pelican) and professional (wilderness). it is stable, easy to paddle and comfortable to sit in. my husband finds this one wont pull you to left or right (which happens often when we are either left-handed or right-handed). i would love to buy 1 more next year so that i can invite more friends to kayaking with us.

Adjusts smoothly and easily, although settings slide if paddling with force. Handles very well and is not tipsy in both the tandem and single setting. Fairly heavy to carry any distance (33 kgs), but feasible for one (or two) stronger individual(s). Used in coastal Caribbean ocean. Overall, great value and a fun kayak.

Update: The two mystery screws belong to the aft chair. As shown in one of my pictures you can see they only installed one of the screws on each side when it's supposed to be two.I have tried reaching out to the manufacturer via Instagram, email, Amazon, and Facebook. They refused to reply.The kayak showed up in my house and a plastic bag and half a ripped up box. There were two loose screws and a bunch of plastic shavings inside of the kayak. I also had scratches along the side as well as four holes in the bow. Not sure why they're there but I am very certain I'll take on water if I put it in. Is it up the customer to plug these holes? Also why are they there? Furthermore the back foam panel looks like it doesn't have sealant all the way around. Furthermore one of the plastic caps that holds the pads is bent and damaged. Last, but I'm sure not least, I just stopped looking for things, the stern looks like it's been dragged and rubbed down. I'm very displeased for spending over a grand on a damaged product.

just took our maiden voyage, worked great, arrived in mint condition.

This is one fabulous kayak. We had a 13-ft inflatable that we loved but this one, naturally, is far superior. Glides through the water effortlessly. My wife doesn't even have to paddle. She can just have our dog, Katie, sit on her lap and enjoy the scenery. It's a big awkward to get it on and off our roof rack, but I've figured out an easier system. Plus, I bought wheels for it. That makes it waaay easier to get to the water. Oh, the seats are the most comfortable we've ever used...don't even know they're there. Can't wait for the weather to get warmer so we can get out in it more.

This kayak is comfortable, roomy enough for two and gear for the day, whole allowing easy maneuvering. Glade we chose this boat.
