About this deal

Intex’s Excursion Pro K1 and K2 kayaks are the best built kayaks produced by the company. These single and tandem kayaks are made from better quality PVC materials than the Explorer or Challenger series kayaks. More robust materials allow for a higher air pressure, which keeps the kayak shape stiffer, increasing speed and performance. Intex kayaks are ideal for paddlers or families who want a low-cost option to spend some time on the water. While they are not as durable as high-end inflatable kayaks, they still hold air for casual paddlers on a budget. For aspiring recreational kayak owners, Intex inflatables offer comparable price and performance to an entry-level rigid kayak, but with the added benefit of effortless storage and portability. Cost savings are the main reason to buy used, or if you feel that you’re among the most casual of casual kayakers. Intex inflatables are perfect for a float around a calm lake, and if you only hope to take the boat out a few times a season, why not get the cheapest one you can?

Having 2 outer chambers to fill with air, it would be much better if both chambers went all the way around the boat so that if one fails you won't sink, but 1 chamber is the left side, 1 is the right side, so if one fails you'd probably sink, or close to it. A marginally more affordable folding boat that's a breeze to set up and enjoyable on calm and flat waters At double the price of the Explorer and Challenger series kayaks, the Excursion Pro kayaks offer an attractive middle ground in terms of performance, price and durability between those budget boats and higher-end inflatable kayaks made by Advanced Elements or Sea Eagle.The Explorer K2 kayak is the least expensive two-person kayak from Intex. Available as a tandem model (that can also be paddled solo), the kayak kit comes with a pump and paddles, so in theory you can buy a personal flotation device (PFD) and safety kit (containing Coast Guard-approved equipment), walk out of the store and get on the water. Amazing product super simple to get ready and out in the water the only thing I would change is the angle the fishing rod holders sit at , would be nice if they were angled away from the occupant when you have 2 people in the kayak " Available as solo or tandem boats, Intex inflatables are best used as casual recreational kayaks. These are not heavy-duty, expedition-ready touring kayaks, but rather are best suited to an afternoon at the beach, cottage or campground, and short paddles on sheltered lakes, bays and slow-moving rivers.

Sea Eagle produces some of the highest quality inflatable kayaks on the market. They utilize drop-stitching to keep the walls rigid, and use robust PVC to resist abrasion and impact. These upper-tier kayaks cost much more than Intex boats, but their lifetime is significantly longer. You can't blow more air into the valves without the pump they provide, and it's a pain to carry that in the boat with you, so when you're out in it, if it needs more air, there's nothing you can do. If you discover the kayak has an air leak, it may not be a deal-breaker. If the leak is a simple pinhole, you can repair the hole using the patch kit provided, or any PVC patch kit. Leaks along the seams of the kayak or at the valves will be more difficult to resolve; pass on any leaking used kayak that you’re not confident about repairing. This improved folding craft is lightweight and does pretty well, if less technical, for a budget-friendly priceI was prepared to buy this until I realized it only has a 90 day warranty. I’ll spend a tiny bit more to get something from a company that supports and stands behind their products. Too bad. Seems like exactly what I needed!" I am so impressed with this product! I don't know much about kayaks, but after a bit of research I zeroed in on this one, and I'm so glad I did. It is durable, easy to inflate, and super comfortable for two people. Just enough room for storage, even with fishing stuff. I wish the seats were made of a different material, as we poked one with a fish hook on our first outing and will probably have to replace it... but that's user error and not a flaw in the product. Thank you for making it possible for me to head out on the water with my kids, at such an affordable price! " And the junction of pump hose and boat valve are pretty leaky. They leak if hose is not in "just" right position. Here’s a rundown of all the models to help you identify the best match for your paddling style and ambitions. Explorer There are three main models of Intex kayaks, with two models available as a solo or tandem kayak. Each design is slightly different to match different activities. The Explorer and Challenger models are found within Intex’s budget-minded “Sport” series, while the higher-priced Excursion falls within the brand’s more feature-rich “Professional” series.
