JUST WHAT I EXPECTED FROM PERCEPTION. - Love the thing, even the colors. Tracks very well without a skeg, even better with one. Not cramped, roomy. Stable, quick. Handles open water and constricted beaver canals very well. Update: 9-10-2020 After several months of heavy use. Water bodies: coastal marine, lakes, streams, Puget sound (inland marine), lite river use. I have used this kayak for multi night trips and it has no problem with heavy loads. It has out performed my expectations for a 14 foot kayak. Not too long to handle, load, or transport. Not too short as to hinder stability. I am Far more than pleased with this kayak. it has expanded my paddling range. Easily covers 8-10 miles of leisure paddling in just a few hours. I am mid 50's.. and 200 lbs +/-.. I have been a kayaker since 1978. You can't go wrong with a Perception, in my honest opinion. Review: No problem with Perception, but it arrived broken , XPO shipping was awful - Was hoping for a better experience here as the Kayak looks great. No problem there, but the shipping was so bad. First of all, XPO Logistics told me multiple times it would arrive a certain day, then called that day and said it would arrive 4 weeks later, at the earliest! After lots of called with XPO logistic CS, it was delivered a week later. I unpacked the kayak and it was severely damaged. It looked like someone took an angle grinder to the bow and it had perforations below the waterline. I suspect it was dragged on something like concrete for quite a distance. I have a number of other kayaks and these PE kayaks are tough so it must have been dragged a long way on the ground. So I asked to return it, and the saga continued. XPO and AMZN said they would pick it up 4 days later so I rewrapped it and hung around waiting for the pickup. Half way through the time slot, I got a call from XPO saying they were going to schedule it for 5 WEEKS LATER! Called XPO CS and they had no record, despite all the robocalls to me telling me that today was the day for pickup. Needless to say, it’s not worth the hassle of delivery. ## Features - Journey with Confidence: The Perception Carolina 14 is your trustworthy companion for memorable adventures.

Good value. Pretty basic overall. *by R***T on September 29, 2020* This is overall a very good product. It's a good value. It's a good boat overall and seems to have an excellent seat. It's sorely lacking a skid plate on the keel. More accessible storage compartment lids would be nice. It looks like it'll be a good dependable boat. The only annoying thing is that the foot pegs have a tendency to ratchet towards you. I find myself always having to reach into the boat to adjust them forward. ## Frequently Bought Together - Perception Carolina 14 | Sit Inside Kayak for Adults | Touring Kayak | 14 - Best Marine and Outdoors Kayak Paddle, Carbon Fiber Shaft & Fiberglass Reinforced Polypropylene Blades, 220cm, 234cm, 250cm, Lightweight Kayak Paddles for Adults --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/321763996-carolina-sit-inside-kayak-for-adults-touring-kayak](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/321763996-carolina-sit-inside-kayak-for-adults-touring-kayak) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
