Great Sturday Starter Kayak
I bought this Kayak about 9 years ago and although I haven't used it for a few years, it doesn't disappoint. Very sturdy and great for small lakes. Have used it fishing, since that's what it is intended for, but mostly just for cruising and enjoying the scenery. It is a bit heavier kayak, but that's what also makes it more sturdy. Easily holds someone who is 225lbs with no problems at all. Customer service has been great. I lost one of the hatch covers and looked for a replacement online, but couldn't find one that size. Contacted Lifetime and they are able to ship one out to me... super easy and quick. Even after being in outside storage for 3 years, a little bit of cleaning and it's as good as new. Can't wait to get it back in the water.

Sick of recovering damaged kayaks!
This kayak was damaged, I want to revive a kayak that I don't have to repair. This is the second one to arrive damaged!!

    Very Disappointed
    when I got home my stuff was in my yard . Also the plug on the front had been ripped off and missing on one. The other one looks like it had been use then returned then sold to myself. It has gashes all over the bottom and black all over the handles. Very disappointed to pay almost $1000.00 and get my stuff this way. The one missing the plug was wrapped in plastic and bubble wrap the other only had plastic over the seat.

    One Solid Kayak
    I bought this kayak in late summer last year. After having it out in various ponds lakes and rivers I must say, this is A solid "sit-on" kayak! Its features are utilitarian and very well placed and functional. (I have another identical LIFETIME kayak that I ended up adding all of the same fishing pole features to...) Also, I feel it's relevant to mention, both times I have called Lifetime for parts (crushed stern carry handle & scupper plugs) they have immediately sent me the products free of charge!

    Bought as a starter kayak, but its a keeper!
    This is my first and best kayak I own. It is so confortable to sit in, very stable (I can sit sidesaddle to reach something in the back without any problem). It may not be a fast kayak, but it tracks very good when you paddle. And the plastic back support makes a world of difference! Also, Lifetime Customer Service is AMAZING if you ever have any question they WILL help you!

    Just don't bother!
    Not because of the kayak quality but because you don't know what you will get and when you are going to get it! I ordered the blue one and after a month I got a totally different kayak, which you can see in the photos. Also the shipping was weird too! I set an appointment online and they ended up calling me for drop off a week earlier and at a time that didn't work for me, so I had to ask my neighbor to watch for it while it was sitting outside my house! I ended up returning the kayak the same day and get a full refund.

    Dog worthy
    I wanted a kayak that would easily handle my golden retriever as my companion. I would have kids and other adults also, but mostly the dog.

    Great boat, damaged on delivery-TWICE!
    Love the Tamarack, but had to be delivered twice with the first one having a hole in the hull, totally inoperable, and the second delivery was damaged and scuffed all over the side and top. Since it would float, I took delivery, but very disappointed in the two different shipping companies used by Walmart. The boat is great, just wish Walmart compensated me for a non-new condition product.

    Nice smooth, balanced ride! Well made. Looks great
    Great kayak and paddle. Suggest you buy paddle drip ring to help prevent water running down your paddle getting you wet, but everything else is wonderful.

    Great Durable kayaks for our Vacation Rental.
    Great Durable kayak. has water drain holes so you can fall off and get back on and water drains out. Had Shipped to Key Colony Beach and shipper was prompt and called ahead and was smooth delivery to our Vacation Rental in Middle Florida Keys. Putting in and out of Sea Wall people are rough on them and these are durable. would buy again.
