Best Inflatable Kayaks

The tandem inflatable kayak is designed with 3 separate chambers that are sealed together with high-frequency welding. It provides high reliability of seaming and increases the kayak's safety. The chambers are located according to the standard principle: port, starboard, and floor. This structure ensures stability on the water and allows you to gain the shore in case one of the chambers is punctured. Additionally, the kayak's hull is made of puncture-resistant 33 mil polykrylar material. Polykrylar is the artificial rubber that is valued for its elasticity, resistance to damage and to ultraviolet rays. Each air chamber is designed with its own one-way valve for inflation. These valves hold air down efficiently and allow for fast air letting out when needed.

For added protection against water ingestion, the kayak is designed with 2 lashed down inflatable spray skirts. One is fixed at a bow, while the other one is attached to a stern. And yet, if water got to the boat you can drain it using a special self-bailing drain valve at the bottom of the kayak. There are also 2 molded skegs at the bottom for better water handling. Thus, you sail faster and with fewer efforts. Sea Eagle 330 comes with the deluxe package that includes 2 inflatable seats, 2 aluminum paddles, a foot pump, a carry bag and a repair kit.
