INTEX Excursion Pro K2 Inflatable Kayak 2-Person Set with Paddles & Pump | 68309EP - Portable Sit-on Tandem Kayak with Removable Skegs and Two Dry Bags for Gear, 12ft 9in x 3ft

I have other sit on top fishing kayaks, but they are heavy and difficult to bushwack into a lake or river. And I don't always want to take a pickup or trailer with me. The Excursion Pro is exactly what I was looking for. I'm going on 72 and even I can carry it under one arm quite a ways inflated or in the bag. The pump is "large" and works just as good sucking air out (for a tight pack) as it does putting it in. I can easily fill it in 10 to 15 minutes. They also include a very good air pressure gauge... so there is no reason to over or under inflate. Check it as conditions (temperature) dictates and add or remove air to keep it in the green... and performing to it's maximum. With the large skeg in (there are two options and a solid receiver)... if you set it up for just one paddle and balance your weight in the center (correctly inflated) this kayak will blow any other kayak I've used out of the water downwind. By the way, I use a SailPaddle chute for a downwind sail and this rig is just scary fast (and stable) when you get to 12 knots. Amazingly, Intex has already added D rings in the "perfect" spot on this kayak to anchor the sail and the folded the sail rings slide perfectly into the space beneath the bow cover. They really have thought of nearly everything. I just can't say enough about the quality of the build for the money. It's a light weight tri-vinyl laminate (a gorilla on steroids couldn't rip it) with a stippled surface that feels like zodiac hypalon... and weighs a fraction of it. On the downside I'm not sure why they designed it for the fishing poles to cross in back. It doesn't make a great deal of difference to me and is in some ways a benefit because I can leave two rods in the back pole holders and not worry about coming into the dock and breaking one. There is also (amazingly) a rod holder and accessory bar that slips into place in front of you. Although finding a bar adapter for your favorite fishing rod holder eluded me (they'll make one soon I'm sure). Standard size just doesn't have an easy match. But you can easily modify one to the correct size by holding the sides together in a vice and drilling it out to the size you want. They already include so much that I feel piggish for wanting a horizontal paddle holder when I've got a fish on. The easy workaround is using a long line between the well placed lashing D rings, reefing it tight and then weaving the paddle around it a couple times against the outside chamber. It's just as close to perfect as I can imagine. Even the color scheme looks like it's Coast Guard equipment. Paddles straight and "fast". What more could you want. Any new creation needs some fine tuning in manufacturing. Mine was one of the first and when one of the bottom baffles let go on a warm day. (Watch your inflation... a gauge is included). I emailed them on Saturday night (through Amazon) and they replied immediately (24 hour "quick" phone service with smart polite locals!). The next day I took a picture of the damage and proof of its destruction (cutting out a foot square patch out of the outer chamber and emailed them a picture)... and a new one was headed my way on Monday via FedEx no charge and profuse apologies for the failure. It arrived in two days!! Intex is the best I've ever dealt with. Unbelievable. Everyone I talked to at Intek were crackerjack smart, fast, efficient and true to their words. Amazing in this screwed up world of ours today. Look no further than excellent management and employees that care.

I've had this for about a month now and it's perfect. I've been on several different lakes now with it. It's very easy to setup and use. Weight capacity is good me and my wife ended up taking our 20 year old son out with us and it carried us three just fine, but I would say it's best with two people. The size is great it holds all of our gear and is still easy to use. I think it's the best value for a kayak of it's size. Also have gotten many compliments from people with hard shell kayaks. You will not regret purchasing this kayak.

Overall a good product. It inflates easily and is very sturdy. It deflates into a small package and fits easily into it's storage bag. The shoulder straps make it easy to carry short distances like from a parking lot to the lake. The only drawback is the seat back provides very little support and destroys my lower back. I haven't tried out the fishing attachments, but they look like they would be useful.

I received this kayak as a Father’s Day gift, and I absolutely love it! I took it out fishing, and it exceeded my expectations. It’s very stable, comfortable, and roomy enough for two people. It tracks well on the water and gave me a lot of confidence, even while moving around to cast and reel in fish. It made my fishing trip much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this kayak to anyone looking for a stable and fun tandem kayak for fishing or recreational paddling. Great value for the price! P.S. One small recommendation: if you plan to use it for fishing, it’s a good idea to place a rubber mat on the floor to protect the kayak from fish fins, hooks, or sharp gear.

I purchsed this a couple weeks ago as an entry-level kayak just to get started in the hobby and get out on the water and fish as well. It will be fine until I research more and get a hard shell. Also until I get a better way to transport it this one works out well. I see some negative reviews on here and it surprises me. I was worried that maybe I would get a defective one also because I think that's what's happening with these leaks people are reporting. Either that or not to insult people, but they're doing something wrong because this is a great product for the price point. We've taken it out 2 times together and yesterday I went out by myself all day and fished. So far there has been no problems. The only thing I can say is I wish I could stand in it but I knew that getting an inflatable that wasn't possible. I'm not a giant guy I'm about 6'2 and 200 lbs but sitting on the seat even with the extra booster seat got a little uncomfortable after 4 or 5 hours yesterday with not being able to stretch and move around. The paddles could be a little bit longer so we're considering getting different ones but that's not a big deal. The kayak tracks pretty good with the large skeg considering it's not a hard shell. I got an anchor (you'll want that as it blows around easy) some straps so I could hang my paddle when not in use and a lot of other accessories like rail mount rod holders for the bar. If you get creative you can do a lot of things with accessories using the included metal loops that are on the kayak. Enough to make it close to a real fishing kayak. Except for the not being able to stand part. I even bought a wireless castable fish finder so I didn't have to mess with an on board battery, mounting any transducer, etc. I was able to fit a lot of gear on there yesterday for the fishing test run but next time I'm going to pack a little lighter because it did get cramped with a cooler and tackle and everything. Overall for the $248 I paid we are very pleased. It is very easy to set up and just go out on the water. Now when I have to break down all my gadgets and modifications as well as straps and bungees so I can deflate it, that takes a few minutes more but I'm a lunatic with that stuff. If you're on a really big body of water you're going to get a little tired paddling around from fishing spot to fishing spot. I do wish there was a way I could put an electric motor on the back but since it's so cone shaped it's not possible. There's nothing to mount it to in the back. Anyways I guess you could really get creative and do a side mounted thing. I've seen youtubers doing it. I'll wait until I just get another vessel. For now this thing is great and we can pack it around anywhere. The material is pretty thick and tough. I feel bad others are having issues with it but that must be a fluke thing. You sell thousands of these I guess you could get a couple lemons. Good luck if you decide to purchase! Side note: Yes the included rod holders are not really functional as rod holders. You can put things in there but don't put anything you don't want pulled out easily. I use an extra spare rod for the castable fish finder and put it in one of the built it rod holders because it's not like a fish can pull it out.

Yes, I’ve been reading a lot of reviews, and I always read the bad ones first. But there were so many good ones, that I gambled I’m going to get one of the good kayaks. I was wrong. And please, see the other 1 star reviews – I’m not the only one! Summary: 1 hole in the inside of the base hub (where you’d sit) at 2nd inflation/1st time we were supposed to go on water. Multiple holes in the carrying bag. Story: We are in CoVID-19 times… So we were very excited to receive this kayak, our kind of only “vacation”. The day after receiving the kayak we did a first inflation on our lawn, using the pump provided: inflation was fast, deflation was fast. A lot of leg room. We were careful to put the kayak on nice grass, and took off our footwear. Two days later, we went to a lake and inflated the kayak. As we were done, my friend said I didn't inflate the base hull well enough and should inflate more before taking the water. As I was doing so, I heard a little air flow - about 2' away from the pump. We figured out there was a little hole! on the inside of the hull base! not the part that may have scraped something on the outside of the bottom… That was totally unexpected! I didn’t notice it 2 days earlier, maybe because I did the trial inflation/deflation fast, and this time I took longer to do the inflation, enough for the base to begin deflating. Anyway, at this point, I’ve been having the kayak for a few days, and the first time I’m taking it to the water it has a hole in a place that has not touched anything rough! For a $300+ kayak, needless to say I want my money back! I would have accepted an exchange, but at this point, 1 week later, the kayak is out of stock without any indication when it would be available again… So I’m returning it, to at least get my money back. I’m very upset, as I can’t get a replacement these days. Here goes my “vacation”!!! And while we’re at it, let’s mention the carrying bag also has multiple hole! Again, that bag was used a total of 2 times: to bring the kayak to the lake, and back to my garden. I didn’t expect high quality of bag, but that’s beyond crap quality… Included: Video of the hole, and photo with the 3 biggest bag holes highlighted. Otherwise, yes, the kayak is heavy in its big box. I’m going to have to struggle quite a bit to bring it back to the Amazon Hub Locker+ (which is located in a heavy traffic city area, so I need to park the car and walk with this heavy box to the Locker…Joy!!!)

This is gonna be a long one so buckle up. I grew up on the water in Maine. I guided paddle trips for a prominent youth organization. I have been Certified to teach paddle sports by every organization that does so. I have thousands of hours and even more miles on the water in small craft. I love this thing. So my family has been off the water for a while do to no storage for boats where we live. I have been looking at inflatables for a bit, prime day came around, and I went for it. Here’s the good: super compact. We can fit two in the back of my wife’s small suv with everything we need for a family of 4 to have a great day on and off the water Very stable. Try as he might, my two year old can barely even rock one of these, even with my 280lbs in the high seating position. The peace of mind with little ones on board is amazing. Now, the amazing: Versatility. I have never had a craft of any kind that can be so quickly reconfigured to cover any possible need. We took them to a local park with a group of friends to really give them a workout. Within 90 minutes the went from carrying 1 adult and one child, to two adults, to two 7-10 year olds and one adult, to just one adult fishing. With the way the seats and foot pegs attach to the boat, you can re set for weight distribution or activity in seconds. It’s really kind of mind boggling how well thought out this is. Ease of paddling. So I’ve read all the reviews about this being slow and unresponsive. I don’t understand what they are talking about. For the sheer size of this thing it is darn near nimble. And. with the correct skeg for the water you are paddling, it is almost thoughtless to control which allows you to pay attention to what you want, rather than wrestling a boat. Wonderful. Getting setup. My daughter (who is seven) and I can park our car and be on the water in just about 15 minutes. It’s great. We can get in a paddle after work/school with just about the same ease as having hard boats without all the extra weight, transportation issues etc. A couple of things that maybe aren’t the best, but I really don’t care: The paddles are terrible. They are plastic and aluminum 5 stage, short paddles. They suck. You can get way better for 30-40 bucks on here. Do that, problem solved. Long term durability. We’ve had them out a handful of times and I can see scuffs and fold marks already. But you have to remember this is an inflatable boat. They just aren’t going to last forever. These are tougher than most I’ve seen and I if I get a couple of seasons out of them at this price point, I’m happy. Over all, the only thing I am upset about is that I waffled on this purchase for so long. These watercraft have quickly become an integral part of my family’s summer and we will enjoy them for as long as we can. Well done Intex, Well done.

I needed an easier option for transporting my traditional kayak. Decided to try an inflatable. This does not disappoint. It feels slow in the water compared to what I am used to, but it is so sturdy and comfortable. It truly is easy to inflate and deflate. Impossible to fit back into the tote bag, but you don’t really need to. It’s easy to pickup and carry. Definitely not sorry I bought it.

The kayak is well packaged complete with a holder for phone and 2 fishing rods. The oars seem flimsy but should be ok for casual kayaking. Serious kayakers should get their own oars. Overall the material seems tough although I have not taken it out on the water yet. So far it’s good value for the money.

Feels really solid, doesn't bend or sink in. Tried with my two little kids on a sea and on a river - brilliant. A bit heavier tha I expected but that just confirms durability of materials. Paddles really good considering the price of the whole lot. Pump that comes with it very efficient and I love the fact it's both - inlet and outlet of the air - easier do deflate. Just great

Ürün beklentilerimizi karşıladı bir hafta kullandık hiç bir sorun yaşamadık. İki günde bir hava kontrollerini yaptık. Tek eksiği koltukları koltukların arkasındaki hava tapaları kolay açılıyor ve iniyor onun haricinde sorunsuzdu

Excelente producto, muy facil de inflar con una resistencia excelente, lo he usado en lagos y presas cerca de mi ciudad y ha sido una grata experiencia. Recomiendo una vez adquirido ver tutoriales de como inflarlo, como doblarlo y que hacer y no hacer para que les dure mucho tiempo

Ce kayak est parfait pour nous qui sommes deux femmes. Très facile et rapide à gonfler et en utilisant la jauge fournie pas de risque de surgonflage. Nous avons eu la bonne surprise de recevoir le modèle 2021 avec améliorations ! Nous n’avons pas eu de problème d’accessoires arrivés cassés ou grosse ponction sur les flanches du kayak. Il y avait quelques traces creuses dans le pvc mais qui semblent s’être résorbées au fil ds gonflages. Ce n’est pas un kayak de compétition professionnelle mais pour une balade sur un lac ou une découverte de « sentier maritime » sur une rivière il fait amplement le travail ! Sur l’eau il est très stable. Nous utilisons le grand aileron et c’est vraiment un plus car la direction est très fluide et droite. Le kayak est très réactif et chaque coup de rame ne fait tourner exagérément le bateau à droite et à gauche. Le support gps peut aussi bien se clipper à l’avant qu’à l’arrière dans les trous prévus pour les cannes à pêches, et en inclinant bien la tige modulable ça ne gène pas pour pagailler. Le kayak est étroit ce qui permet une bonne mise à l’eau des pagaies sans s’incliner, contrairement au modèle Explorer qui est plus large et sur lequel il semble falloir faire plus d’effort. De retour de promenade, on le sèche bien partout (dégonflé c’est plus facile pour accéder aux plis intérieur et côtés du plancher) avec une serviette absorbante microfibre (achetée au rayon voiture !) et le tour est joué en moins de 10 mn. Pour le rangement, nous utilisions au début la fonction « dégonflage » de la pompe et mettions un point d’honneur à faire le vide d’air et replacer le kayak dans ses plis originaux. Mais c’est une erreur de ne pas laisser un tout petit peu d’air dans le kayak et de vouloir le replier comme s’il était sorti de l’usine. Ça le fragilise car ça oblige à forcer pour plier et le PVC n’aime pas ça. Maintenant on ouvre les valves qu’on bloque en position « ouverture » avec le 1/4 de tour à droite, on attend que l’air soit sorti. On retourne le kayak, on replie la partie longue droite sur la partie longue gauche. On replie 2 fois le nez de devant vers le centre pour chasser l’air qui reste en surplus, puis 2 fois le nez de derrière vers le centre. On referme les valves en glissant ses mains à l’intérieur et on finit en juxtaposant les deux parties pliées l’une sur l’autre comme un livre fermé. C’est expliqué plus ou moins comme ça dans le manuel, mais à chacun de trouver sa méthode. Celle-ci fonctionne pour nous et ça tient tellement mieux dans le sac fourni que lorsqu’on essayait de le replier comme à l’origine ! Tout tient parfaitement dans le sac fourni (rames démontées, support gps, cale-pieds, sièges gonflables...) et on peut encore ajouter des choses (genre serviette microfibre...). Un peu lourd mais facile à mettre dans le coffre de la voiture...et en route pour une prochaine utilisation ! On est ravies de sa qualité pour l’usage qu’on en fait ! Bien utilisé en conditions de navigation sans rochers affleurants et bien entretenu, ce kayak semble parti pour durer des années sans problème.
