Aqua Marina

Great kayak, easy to inflate ,easy to use ,very sturdy, used in the sea great fun, can be carried by 2 adults but I suggest that if you need to carry it far then buy some wheels,

Honestly, this is a great inflatable for the money, but I cannot recommend it. Things I like:1. Robust enough- Kayak feels like it will last a good length of time if you take reasonable care. But it doesn't feel like you need to baby-it, unlike some of it's competitors2. Seats do not need inflating unlike some other inflatables. This is a time-saver3. Tracks well in windy conditions. It's not particularly fun against the wind of course, but you at least can keep it straight in moderately windy conditions. The double skeg helps this.4. Packs extremely well into the included bag- no fighting to get pack it all in!5. Included paddles are actually pretty good for the moneyThings I didn't like:1. Drain plugs are hard to get back in securely after use.2. The deck is supposed to be separated from the main kayak between uses. This is a real pain when it comes to putting it back together- bit of faffing to align the deck under the inflatable sides.3. Skegs are super tight, real pain to install and actually dangerous to remove as they need so much pulling (when they finally slip out, the skeg flies out and busts your knuckles).This is my second inflatable Kayak. The first, from another well know manufacturer got punctured very easily on second use. Not sure what punctured it, but given I was still at the new-baby stage and keeping good care, I was very disappointed. I sent that one back. This one seems more robust, as I mentioned already.My biggest issue and the reason I can't recommend it- these inflatable kayaks are a real pain to put up, inflate, drain, pack away, unpack at home to rinse in clean freshwater, dry and restore. It really takes the good out of them, after you've gotten over the novelty factor. This Aqua Marina finally drove me to invest in a roof rack and get a ridged plastic kayak. So much better; way less hassle, way more time having fun, don't need to baby it. Get an inflatable if you want to try kayaking and are not sure if it's for you. If you are already sure, go for a hard boat from day 1. Yes, will be more expensive likely, but well worth it.

To set up is fairly easy, pumping could be explained better as to what to do with the valves! Carrying is a bit heavy but overall a very good product.

I am novice this kayak is brilliant easy to inflate in the water very stable and easy to direct. Been out when very windy other kayaks struggled mine when through the swell no problem. Also dried quickly. The inflatable floor particularly impressed very firm and seat very comfortable highly recommend this kayak. Would be better with foot rest but can buy these.

Good inflatable canoe. Been out a few times on the River with no problems. Quick and easy to assemble, with the skegs on it travels straight, been over some shallows where I scraped the bottom, but no damage, stays dry. Dog loves it, and no it didn't puncture it. Only negatives are that it takes a while to dry, I got the 390 - I paddle in the back position, ideally I could go a bit forward, plus I don't know if it is available but a foot rest to stick to the forward seat location would be handy. Love it

Product seems really good quality, everything I need to start kayaking, pumps up really quickly with supplied pump, easy and quick to deflate, paddle and carry bag are good quality too.

very good and very well made

Sea kayaking unsafe product and despite 17 phone calls to aqua marina they are refusing to help until I forcibly removed my comments about the product also lying to me saying it had been sent when u clearly hadn't four weeks later I'm disabled and still without a kayak disgusting

I am writing this review after only 2 flat-lake paddles (several months of ownership), as end-of-season is upon us! As such, I can not comment on long term ruggedness. To be "safe", I also purchased Amazon's aftermarket 3-year warranty (~$150).To begin, Aqua Marina's customer service email is useless, I attempted contacting them twice with questions, and after a week or so received a garbled (non-english) response to only one email question. I do not know where they are located, but I'm happy I did not NEED them to solve a problem!The of the 'high-pressure' floor works well, as I can stand up when the yak is floating with no taco-ing. The side tubes are rigid, allowing easy getting in & out. Make certain to always use both fins, or each paddle stroke will set the yak in a different direction. With fins installed, yak travels reasonably well, even in ~10 MPH cross-wind. Outer cover and bottom seem reasonable quality, and dragging empty yak over smooth-ish rocks between water & vehicle leave no marks on the bottom. Seats install nicely and provide firm back support. Although I have not experienced any problems (yet), I have no idea how to patch side tubes if a leak were to develop, as they do not appear to be removable (poor design?).Finally, I gently fold the deflated yak for travel in the back of my truck, but I store it in my garage flat, and partially inflated (~1/2 PSI), to prevent repeated folds on seams from separating / leaking (un-gluing). I have owned iSUPs in past years, and their leak failures have always occurred on a seam fold after about 1 year of tight folding / unfolding.So far, this yak has met my expectations for a mid-priced family general recreation yak. This is not a pool toy. Nor is it a class 2+ whitewater yak. Only 4 stars tho, as the company's customer service is terrible!

Facile et rapide à monter. Idem pour le démontage. Ne prend pas trop de place dans le coffre.Déjà quelques belles balades dans le Verdon. Très content de mon achat. Deux amis ont craqué et acheté le même :-)

Una calidad precio increíble. Hay que decir que lo compramos en oferta y por eso nos gusta tanto!! Pero tiene todos los detalles, cremalleras de calidad, la barca en sí tienenunancalidad brutal, ademas esta separado en dos partes, esta el suelo, y esta la barca, lo que hace un montaje bastante comodo, recomiendo ver un video antes de comprar porque hay muchos modelos y tienes que elegir el que mas se adapte a tus necesidades.Estoy muy contenta

Arrivato in neanche una settimana, con un giorno di anticipo. Aperto (la scatola presentava perforazioni, il contenuto fortunatamente era intatto.Aperto, gonfiato, risultati eccezionale. Anche il prezzo cmq non scherza per un kayak gonfiabile.Dopo averlo gonfiato, sgonfiato e ben piegato, non sono cmq riuscito a far entrare tutto nello zaino, come tra l'altro mostrano dei video sul web. Forse sono io che devo far pratica.Ad ogni modo non vedo l'ora di utilizzarlo.

Komplette Ausstattung mit Paddel, Pumpe, Tragetasche. Guter Qualitätseindruck (muß sich noch auf Langstrecke beweisen). Aufbau sehr einfach und schnell. Kommt im Geradeauslauf nicht an das größere „Aqua Marina Steam“ heran, ist aber logisch, da kürzer und konstruktiv etwas anders konzipiert. Das mitgelieferte Alu- Paddel ist einfach und robust, wenn man jedoch höhere Ansprüche an die Performance stellt, sollte man über ein Carbonpaddel nachdenken. Das Einstecken der Trecking- Finnen am Boden ist etwas fummelig. Für leichteren Einbau die Grate etwas abschleifen. Überraschend großes Cockpit mit viel Stauraum. Durchaus für Mehrtagestouren geeignet. Achtung, aufgrund des Deckoberstoffes trocknet es etwas länger. Aber wenn man vor dem Einlagern gut abspült und aufgebaut 24 h trocknen läßt, kommt auch kein Schimmel in den Oberstoff.Mir fehlt eine Fußstütze. Benutze einen Drybag als Alternative. Der Preis ist toll für diese Bootskategorie. Bei anderen muß man oft Pumpe, Paddel etc. extra erwerben.Wer ein kippsicheres, gemütliches Freizeitboot mit guter Verarbeitung sucht und nicht auf Schnelligkeit und sportliches Tracking angewiesen ist, der macht hier nichts falsch.Ich fahre neben diesem auch einen alten Faltboot- Zweier, ein AM Steam und einen Ultralight- Einer.
