New 2024 Keystone Peak 2 Person Inflatable Kayak with Exclusive Sun Canopy (Detachable) + Kayaks for Adults + 3rd Seat for Dog/Child + Waterproof Phone Bags + Adjustable Seats + Backrests + More

This very nice for the all family

So much work to take to the water and setup only to discover that the bottom section would not stay inflated and it was torn so it would not float. A waste of time and money and luckily we were never on the water just splashing around on shore trying to go kayaking. We spent a whole day getting ready and bought all the stuff we needed like water shoes and life jackets, we recently retired and were wanting to have some fun.

I was super excited about this kayak with the canopy because you really need it here in Florida in the summer sun! It’s a lifesaver! Blowing it up was easy and assembling the canopy as well. We did a run with the kayak and it started fun but then the paddle broke! The plastic as well as the metal so that’s when the fun stopped. I have to say that the fabric of the kayak feels very soft and easy punchable so we did not feel safe anymore. Also the fabric of the kayak where the seats are attached with the bel, it t is so soft, it deforms the kayak. I loved it because of the canopy but now I am sad that I have to return it because of the poor quality of the kayak. It’s just doesn’t feel safe.

I had a chance to try out an inflatable kayak last weekend, and I have mixed feelings about it. While there are several good points, a few drawbacks keep it from being perfect. First, the material of the kayak feels durable enough for regular use. The seams appear to be well-made, and once it's fully inflated, the kayak is quite stable. It comes with multiple air chambers, which adds to peace of mind because even if one chamber leaks, the whole kayak won’t go flat. However, inflating it to the right psi was tricky because the correct psi wasn’t clearly marked on the kayak or the instructions. The pump is efficient and produces a lot of air with each stroke, but it's short, which meant I had to bend over the entire time to use it. This was uncomfortable given my height of 6'1". Additionally, the kayak features both large and small air ports; the small ports, similar to those on cheap pool inflatables, made the process more tedious.The kayak includes a sunshade with lightweight, foldable fiberglass poles that were easy to assemble. However, the straps for attaching the poles to the canopy were short and needed to be tied, which was inconvenient. Longer or Velcro straps would have been a better choice. The seats, while a nice addition, left much to be desired. They provided minimal back support and often slid out of position, especially under my weight. For smaller adults or children, they might be sufficient, but they were not supportive enough for someone of my size. The paddles were another weak point. They felt flimsy, and the plastic connections were bulky and not very smooth. They would probably be okay for kids, but for any serious kayaking, better paddles are a must. The pump also doesn't deflate the kayak, which made packing up a longer process than I would have liked.Despite these issues, once the kayak was fully set up and in the water, it performed well. It was stable and fun to use, and I like the convenience of being able to transport it easily when deflated. The storage bag was roomy enough to fit all the pieces, including the pump and paddles, which was a nice touch.Overall, while I enjoyed using the kayak, especially for casual outdoor trips, there are definitely areas that need improvement. Better paddles, clearer instructions on inflation, and more comfortable seating would make a big difference. For now, it's a good option for light recreational use, but if you're looking for something more robust and user-friendly, you might want to consider other options. My rating is between 3 and 4 stars. Okay, it was fun to play with it, so I’ll with 4 :).

The features and description tick all the boxes I needed for our camping trip. The setup was relatively straightforward, although I immediately noticed when assembling the nose covers the mounting points were poorly aligned (see picture). The instructions do not indicate the recommended psi, so I opted for a conservative 1.5 feeling 1.0 wasn't stiff enough to prevent excessive creasing. The mil thickness feels like that of a kiddie pool. It advertises carrying a dog, but I absolutely did NOT take a chance. You can see in the picture after one day of use, the sides are deformed. The next day, it suffered a gash on the underbelly when it approached the beach when it bottomed out - I'll accept the blame, but I didn't have issues with the two accompanying inflatable paddle boards that used the same launch location. You will want to replace the paddles or wear some heavy-duty gloves; they will tear up your hands. I purchased some Pelicans at a local Rural King that worked beautifully. It didn't last long enough to install the canopy so I can't comment on it. A positive to end this review on is the separate inflatable chambers - there are three, so inevitably, when one leaks, you at least don't sink. I don't recommend this to anyone who wants more than one use out of it due to the thin material used.

Great product.

One of the worst kayaks I've ever owned in my life if it's shallow water good luck good luck because it does not do very well at all you can't hardly paddle in it you feel like you're sitting inside of it and like you can't reach over it and I'm a tall person you don't have no room to do anything in it Don't get me wrong it would be a decent kayak if it was plastic because like I said if it just shallow water you're not going to get very far at all you're going to rub rocks non-stop My wife was in a plastic kayak and I was in the air of kayak she was doing 20 times billion better than I was I couldn't get nowhere we end up having to quit kayaking ruined our whole trip I was pissed and that's my honest review about it Arab kayaks are not worth it because you didn't shallow water you're not going to get very far at all at all now overall the kayak is airs up nicely it's a good thought but they have to figure out the bottom part the part that you sit in because like I said if it's shallow water you're going to rub on the rocks because you're you sit down further than what a plastic one would be a plastic one you can't you know sink down into the water more an air up one you can so they need to harden the bottom I think to where it doesn't dry whenever you're sitting in it but overall it was a very tough I was rubbing on rocks and everything else The fins are garbage they don't work at all I don't even understand why they put them on it to keep it going straight it still didn't work just an overall bad review

Not tested in water yet but looks very adequate

Where to start...well...it's not the most sturdy and if you are a novice this might become an issue if you flip over, encounter high winds things like that.The boat, well kayak is VERY narrow. I hate how it squeezes you in and I would have enjoyed this more if there was a bit more width to the entire thing. I get it's a kayak but if you are going through all this effort to make a multi person (I say large single person and your dog) watercraft and have it cost this much - make it a tad wider eh? My fishing tackle rubs the sides of the pvc which will wear it out fast, meaning I need to carry some foam or extra towel now, something of the sort to add a layer between the tackle box and the sides. sigh. I'm annoyed at this - at least I can just toss it into the carry bag.The issue was really when you attach (required!) the front and rear tie in mastheads? whatever they are called. it pulls the sides and bottom to hold everything together making it narrow - at least for me. The seat strapping is probably the weakest link in this entire thing. You need to be much more gentle with attaching them or else the strap might rip right out.All that aside, it comes with a carry bag but was packed into a medium sized box to give you an idea of how compact this is, when in the carry bag it is about a large tall duffle bag sizing. This will be perfect for those people that are stuck in a city and just occasionally want to go splash around in a "real" sized watercraft and not feel or look like a fool blowing up a a kid's sized toy all embarrassed in the sand.It's a good 10ft long, my 6ft frame is comfortable enough in it (aside from my squeezing comment above I mean) and the roof thing is a neat idea. It's tent poles that go in like a cross and then attach near the kayak's side's with clips. the wind will make you hate this, but once you are in the water it's going to be ok (until you flip and while underwater the entire thing blows away being inflatable).It comes with all the bells and whistles it should like fins for the bottom and paddles. The rubber is not thin and unless you deliberately hit a sharp rock or that pointy branch bush near the edge it should not puncture easily. paddles screw together and are in multi parts but quite short once all together? They could add another section in there to make it slightly longer without hurting much for the total bag carry weight nor room inside.The inflating ports were very sturdy and dual ported. The large for releasing air fast and the smaller has a rubber one way simple port on it. Using a usbc air inflator I had it all setup outside on my lawn in roughly 15-20min all in from walking out with the bag to "launch" as they say. So you driving up to a beach or a dock will roughly be the same experience - park and walk to the spot, you're gone in the water about 20min later (without ruining anything or rushing, stowing away items in bag, attaching anchor to front etc) Maybe a bit longer if you are loading fishing gear or something but you are away pretty quick honestly.The inflating part of all the sections and seats took all of 5 minutes with a usbc electric pump. The rest was dealing with the obnoxious wind and attaching it all without punching holes in the craft stupidly with the pole or a stick. If you rush and don't care or leave things behind for someone else to clean up you could full assemble and launch in less than 8-10 minutes by my reckoning!Overall there are some issues, but they are small in comparison to what the trade off is. A literal boat in a bag that doesn't suck and won't make you look silly. (until you fall out ha!)

I was hoping I would like this inflatable kayak more than I do. We ordered it with the idea of keeping it on our boat (a large-ish cruiser) and inflating it to tool around and explore when we're at anchor. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be doing that.The inflatable kayak took two adults about a half hour to fully assemble, and that is using a powered air pump, not the ridiculous manual pump supplied with the kayak. I'm sure with some practice, that assembly time will shorten a bit. One of the most frustrating things is that nowhere in the instructions or marked on the kayak does it say what pressure to inflate it to. It just says inflate it until it's fully inflated. Not very helpful.The system for securing the seats to the 'hull' is terrible. Straps attached to the seats are secured to eyelets on the sides of the hull that look to be glued on (at best) and do not look to be able to withstand any amount of stress or strain such as you would apply by leaning back against your seat's backrest. Even when all strapped in, there is no real support provided by the backrest. People (like me) with a bad back are not going to enjoy using this thing.Another issue I have is that the entire hull of the kayak is one single air chamber. Contrast this with a 'real' inflatable boat (like a zodiac) which has multiple separate air chambers, so if one is punctured or leaks, there is still one or more inflated air chambers to keep you from sinking. With this inflatable kayak, if you happen to drag this rather thin PVC boat over a rock or stiff stick while in the water, you're going to be swimming to shore.Despite all my grumblings about this inflatable kayak, if you know all this about it and you do not plan to use it anywhere with rocks or trees in the water and you're just going to play around and use it like a floaty water toy (which it is, really), then it will suit you just fine. But if you are thinking that this is the solution to your desire to have a kayak to go boating with then you will likely be disappointed.

I was excited to try this kayak since I have never been kayaking before but a friend has so I asked him to help me to learn and to try out this kayak. Unfortunately he got sick the first weekend that we scheduled and then last weekend the wind was howling and the weather unpleasant. My review is due so I will have to add the "on the water" review later.I was very happy when I unpacked this kit and saw that it was well packaged in a very sturdy box and well protected from shipping damage. The fact that everything is included makes this a very handy package for a beginner like me.I studied the assembly instructions and tested out the pump by inflating the seats and the bow and stern pieces.The pump initially was horrible. I could feel a lot of air blowing out the top valve with every downstroke - almost as much as was pumping out the bottom! It got a bit better as I used it more but is still very inefficient and leaking a huge amount of air. The pump also has a very short stroke - a bit less than 7 inches. It would be a lot more efficient if this were two or three times this length and would dramatically reduce the amount of effort needed to inflate the kayak. It would still easily fit in the bag.The valves in the inflation ports are also a bit finicky. The valves do an ok job of slowing down the air from leaking out but do not stop it completely. When it comes time to deflate them, you need to fiddle around and find just the right way to pinch the valve to allow the air out.The paddles go together easily but do not feel very sturdy. The hand grip pieces have some sharp edges from the plastic forming and need to be sanded down to avoid scratching or blistering your hands when paddling. I left the paddles partly assembled to reduce time to set up before launching - they fit in the bag in 3 pieces, not the 7 that they come in.I look forward to getting this on the water and updating my review - for now I have some concerns - mostly about the pump so I will take a backup with me since this is a single point of failure if the pump fails.

Review for: "New 2024 Keystone Peak 2 Person Inflatable Kayak with Exclusive Sun Canopy (Detachable) + Kayaks for Adults + 3rd Seat for Dog/Child + Waterproof Phone Bags + Adjustable Seats + Backrests + More"The kayak came in a box size 16 3/4" x 24.5" x 9 5/8" (42.5 cm x 62.2 cm x 24.5 cm). Inside the box was a bag with the user manual, 2 dry bags, vinal repair kit, two skegs, rope to tie on the ends, and seat straps. There was also the boat, 2 ends, 2 paddles, 3 seats, canopy and poles, carrying bag and a manual pump.When we were pumping up the boat, we noticed there's a drain plug in one end that's right by the water. It's quite concerning that it doesn't seem to be made that well and it's under the waterline so if it leaks, the boat would no longer be afloat.The manual pump is short so if you were standing, you would need to bend over to use it. I found sitting at a chair was much easier to pump it up. It can also be pumped upside down if that’s easier. There are two valves on each of the boat’s inflation holes. The clear one on top is a one-way valve that will work well with the manual pump. The black valve underneath would work best with an electric pump. The two smaller attachments are connected to the pump and can be used without detaching them which is nice so you don't lose the pieces. The main boat uses the large pump nozzle but the cushions require the smaller ones. I found it easier to do these smaller pieces with an electric pump (not included).Compared to other inflatable kayaks I've used, this one only has a single layer rather than separate air compartments. That means that if you get a hole in it, you will likely end up in the water. This has 3 separate compartments, but it's one on each side and the bottom, not two of the same area over one another.Once the main part of the boat and the two end pieces are pumped up, the rope is to be threaded through. I was a little confused with the directions. I figured out if you start in the centre at the bow or the stern, take the midpoint of the rope and then thread half on one side and half on the other. Be sure not to go too far as the other hole is for the canopy. The last part of the rope will go back up through the last hole and then I just tied both of them together in the middle. I'm not sure where they are supposed to tie to, and I don't really like having the string tied across the boat but I wasn't sure where else to put it. In that case the instructions are a bit vague.The paddles came in 20 pieces, 10 for each paddle. When putting the paddles together, there was an end piece missing on the inside of one of them that stops the water from getting inside. The paddles are fixed length of 79 ¼” and have hand grips on them. They are not adjustable at all so if you don't like where the hand grips are, there's no other place to put your hands. Also, there are no rubber water stoppers on the paddles.There are two main black seats that inflate but I only received one green cushion. The instructions say that there are two extra seat cushions, but the listing says there is just “a third seat for a dog or a child”. I'm guessing the instructions were incorrect to say that there should be two extra seats.When installing the canopy, we noticed there were ties instead of loops. The metal pieces go into the hollow ends of the poles, and then the carabiners hook onto the side of the boat. One of the carabiners was already broken when we were putting it together the first time. This canopy should not be used if there is any wind. The ties made it easier to take the whole thing down after, so I'm glad they opted for those instead.The length of the boat when finished is 11 ft / and it's about 39.5"-40" wide. The height with the canopy is about 60". We had 2-3 adults helping put this together and it took about 1.25hrs. It was much more complicated than most inflatable kayaks I've used before, so I don't recommend it. The seats and backrests are more like pool toy toys and will not give any support or comfort. If used for any length of time, paddling would likely cause a lot of back pain.I wouldn't recommend this for anywhere that has rocks or branches or waves, so likely a small pond might be okay. Because of the construction, one hole will make the boat sink.Keep in mind when using an inflatable boat like this, you still need to keep within the rules and regulations for boating in your area. In my area I need to have life jackets & whistles for every person, a 15 m buoyant rope, and a bailing bucket or manual bilge pump.As a kayaker with both recreational and sea kayaks, I do not recommend this Keystone Peak inflatable boat as a kayak. This is more like a pool toy that could be used on a small pond, but is not made for two adults to go out on a lake for a couple hour paddle. Setting it up takes a long time, and if you keep some of the pieces inflated, that would probably shorten their life span. The canopy is a neat idea but only would work as shade if the sun was directly overhead. When we were setting it up, the sun was coming from the side so the canopy did nothing. Also, it would act as a sail and likely push the boat over if there was any wind.The carrying bag that comes with this is of really cheap material and the zipper broke the first time it was used. The clear zippered bag also broke on the first use when putting the deflated seats in. The listing states that you can "deflate and store the kayak in seconds, folding it into a compact size that fits snugly into the provided bag." It took me 10 minutes to dismantle the canopy, 10 minutes to deflate the boat to get it in the car, then another 30 minutes at home to deflate the rest and pack it back into the box. So it took almost an hour to store the boat, not “seconds.” The boat itself fit in the black carrying bag and the rest fit in the box. I could not pack the boat back into the box after it was set up.Note: if it is windy, be sure to tie a rope from the inflatable boat to something solid until people are in it. I had the wind pick it up today.
