Product Description
The Sea Eagle SE370 Inflatable Sports Kayak Pro Package - Lightweight, Portable, Stable Durable and Affordable!
About the Sea Eagle 370 Inflatable Kayak:
This affordable inflatable Sport Kayak is as lightweight and portable as it gets, yet still remarkably stable and durable. It weighs just 32 lbs. and packs down small enough to fit in the smallest car trunk. Don't let the light weight fool you. It's a rugged kayak rated to hold 3 people or 650 lbs. However, it's best-suited space wise to accommodate two persons.
Unique proprietary 38mil Polykrylar K80 formulation is made for years of faithful durability and service. Super comfortable DKS seats provide true back support and higher seating position for greater visibility of the water. 5 Tube I-beam construction floor provides greater structural strength and allows faster paddling and higher weight capacity.
Rope lacing to hold spray skirts in place, provide multiple tie-down points and front and stern carry handles. Convenient drain valve at stern to easily drain out rain water if left outside overnight.
We began in 1968 selling an inflatable kayak very similar to our present Sea Eagle Sport Kayaks. Since then we have made many improvements in our inflatable kayaks. Today, we offer superior one way valves, thicker hull material and an even better material formulation for greater strength, reliability, and durability on the water.
And best of all our Sea Eagle Sport Kayaks pack to a fraction of their inflatable size, can be carried almost anywhere there is water and set up in less than 10 minutes!
Sea Eagle SE370 Pro Inflatable Kayak - Lightweight, Portable, Stable and Durable ! Check out these great features:

Deluxe Inflatable DKS SeatDeluxe Inflatable Kayak Seat. A great inflatable seat that provides extra back support for paddling, rowing or fishing. Allows you to sit 5" off the floor with 14" of back support.

7'10" (4 Part) Paddle

Rugged Duffle Carry BagRugged duffle carry bag with strong shoulder strap to hold all - kayak, seats, paddles and foot pump. Made with heavy duty 440 denier nylon fabric. Measures 26"x48". Comes with convenient carry strap and drawstring. |

---|---|---|
Deluxe One-way Valves On All Air CompartmentsThese Deluxe One-way Valves are simple and easy to use. A great improvement over traditional pipe valves which are hard to close, loose air easily and crack over time. Our Deluxe Valves come with an inner diaphragm which allows air to be pumped in without air escaping afterwards. The larger opening of the Deluxe Valves allows for rapid inflation and deflation. Comes with molded O-rings that can't be lost and a tether that will keep them attached to the hull at all times. Final seal is achieved by the outside cap for true air tightness. |
Molded Skegs for Better TrackingUnbreakable molded skegs improve tracking and will not fall off or get damaged when hit by rocks or get lost. Tracking is very important in a kayak. Inflatable kayaks need skegs to track smoothly across the water - otherwise your paddling effort is wasted. Cheaper competitive boats without rear skegs just weave and wander across the water, wasting your paddling effort. |
5 Tube I-Beam Floor Construction5 Tube I-beam construction floor provides greater structural strength and allows faster paddling and higher weight capacity Because larger I-beam tubes have more rigidity than smaller tubes it also created a more rigid inflatable floor with natural chines which improve the speed and tracking of our Sport Kayaks, making it easier to paddle long distances whenever you wish. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As others have mentioned, the toughest part is the initial job of fitting the rubber rings on each of the valves. This is a two-person job, but not as bad as we expected. One person puts the rubber ring on as much as they could and holds it on while the second person pulls the ring the rest of the way over the valve. Once it's on, it never has to be done again.
It took us around 20 minutes to blow it up the first time. We weren't sure what we were doing and of course we were a bit nervous. After the first time, it takes us about ten minutes to inflate and literally one minute to deflate. It's honestly a snap to do! My husband had wanted to purchase an electric pump instead of relying on the foot pump included, but I told him that others swear that the foot pump is all that's needed and they're right. It's amazing how much air gets pumped into the boat with just one push of the foot. You do NOT need another pump!
We had some concerns about the comfort of seats which are blown up. They're quite comfortable. I can't speak for the regular seats, but the pro seats are well formed with good back and rear-end support.
When doing our research, we weren't sure if we should get the 370 or the smaller sized one. We wanted a kayak that gave us a decent amount of room, but was still manageable to be rowed by one person if we wanted. My husband is 6 foot and I'm 5'6" and the 370 is perfect. It gives us plenty of room for our legs, plus for our stuff, but is still small enough to be used by only one of us. If you're looking for a two-man kayak, get the 370. The 340 would be too cramped, I believe.
One thing should be noted: You do tend to sit up a bit higher than you would in a hard shelled kayak. Letting out some of the air in the seats would bring you down lower, but we're fine with the higher seating and enjoy the firm support.
We've taken the kayak on a calm lake with little breeze, on a lake with a little bit of wind as well as on a river that started off calm and became a bit windy and had some small rapids from time to time. It performed well in all instances! Would it be great in a high wind situation? Probably not, but a light wind didn't cause any issues for us. Does it move through the water as easily as a hard body kayak? Not quite, but it does move through the water easily and doesn't take away from the experience.
For someone who's looking for a kayak that can be thrown into a car easily, doesn't cost a small fortune and that is well made and tough, this is the kayak for you. Others are just as impressed as we are. There isn't a time when we take it out that at least one or two people come over to us to ask questions about it.
Durability:
Over the last 2 months we have stuck to flatwater areas in Western NY. We haven't hit up any rapids (and probably won't for a long time). Some places that we have gone to are Mendon Ponds, Genesee River, Oak Orchard Creek, Canadice Lake and Putnam Pond in the Adirondacks. We have dragged the boat unintentionally over submerged branches and rocks, landed roughly on rocky shores with absolutely no mishaps. The scariest moment was in the Adirondacks where we ran aground on some submerged rocks while going full speed. No damage! I'm gaining more and more confidence with taking this boat out on the water mostly anywhere.
Performance:
I have found the performance of the boat to be perfectly acceptable. Let's be honest folks, this isn't a hard plastic kayak (which I've rented) that cuts the water like a knife. It's an inflatable. The difference in the profile is like comparing a cow with a horse. With that said, once you get going, you can get moving at a decent clip. We have clocked speeds of 5 mph (per GPS) at times. I've also found that proper paddling technique helps with the tracking issue (moving in a straight line). We were able to keep the kayak moving in a straight line in 20mph winds while towing a smaller inflatable behind us in the Adirondacks. I've also found it VERY easy to paddle solo. The boat also hauls a good amount of gear, we went camping to a boat only site and we had 400 pounds between the two of us plus 20 pounds of gear between us and a couple of bags strapped to the bow and stern. The boat was marginally more sluggish but nothing like what I expected, add the 20 mph cross winds and the performance was more than I could have asked for.
Convenience:
From when I pull out the bag from the trunk to putting into the water is about 10 minutes. I replaced the included pump with an Intex Double Quick pump. Just didn't like the foot bellows pump. I also tried an electric pump but found that it really wasn't necessary. The boat is a little heavy, the bag with everything in it is at least 40 pounds but as long as you aren't hauling it far it's not a big deal. It's still pretty amazing that I can pull a 12 foot kayak out of the trunk of a compact car. I do have to say that the carry bag, while very sturdy, is difficult to carry. A double strap like a knapsack would make it easier to haul.
Cons:
The seats in the low end package are ok if you sit in the back of the boat because you can lean it against the rear spray skirt. But they give lousy back support when you are in the front or middle. The lack of back support is probably my biggest complaint. I also would like some tie down points along the sides for attaching ropes or D- rings. The only attachment points are on the ends where the spray skirts attach.
Final Thoughts:
I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I was lucky to snatch this up on sale on Amazon for $225 shipped but even at the higher price points I would have been satisfied. This is a well engineered and well built boat for a great price and it can open up a whole new line of activities that may not have been available to you due to cost or ability to trasport. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the 370 to anyone and I can say we are planning several major trips for next summer.
Addendum (6/10/13):
I've continued to be very pleased with this purchase. I think I've gotten my moneys worth and then some. I've taken this boat into ponds, lakes and rivers and haven't had a single mishap. Now, after having paddled it quite a few times, a few comments.
This paddles and feels more like a canoe than a kayak. Nothing wrong with that, its super stable in the water. Think of it as a double paddle canoe instead of a kayak and you'll have a better idea of what it feels like in the water. The boat does WAY better when its loaded with people and gear, the tracking is much improved and it becomes even more stable. It still can be paddled comfortably with one person (I've done this quite a few times) but it becomes more susceptible to getting blown around by strong wind. I've also glued on some D-rings towards the middle and use a seat that clips on when I'm solo for more comfort. One last note on durability: I've run this boat onto rocks, have hit submerged rocks, have run aground on rocks (from going at a pretty good clip to completely stopped in 2 seconds), have run over submerged branches and reeds, have beached on everything from sand to gravel and rocks (of course), have hit docks and pylons and have not had not a single puncture. Not one. In fact all I've had up to this point is a few stains from all of the bumping around that have scrubbed right out. When I'm in this boat I don't worry about a thing.
Addendum 7/30/16:
Still going strong! This thing is a beast. At this point one of the seats has a slow leak as well as one of the spray skirts. Honestly, I haven't really bothered to track them down and repair them since they aren't essential items. Other than that, no issues. Yes, its barge like in the water but it fits in the trunk of my Honda fit, I can blow it up in less than 10 minutes and be on the water. A quick wipe down, 10 minutes to deflate and roll it up and I'm on my way. I've more than got my moneys worth, I'm actually looking to upgrade to one of the nicer models. BTW, I've trued other brands, one intex had a removable skeg that got lost after the 3rd trip, another sprung a leak around a valve seam, another got holed the 1st day. So sea eagle has been the champ in durability too.

La bomba de aire que se incluye hace que el inflado del kayak sea extremadamente rápido y fácil. Las válvulas de inflado no permiten que se escape el aire cuando se quita la bomba y la tapa con rosca asegura que no se salga el aire después. Para desinflar basta con desenroscar la tapa y prácticamente se desinfla por su propio peso, no es necesario subirse en el para que se salga todo el aire. La bolsa que se incluye es útil para transportar todo en una sola bolsa, únicamente desearía que tuviera bolsas para los remos ya que se podría ponchar el kayak al momento de meter los tubos de los remos. Para distancias largas o para remar con mucha fuerza recomendaría comprar remos otros remos, preferentemente de fibra de carbono ya que los remos que se incluyen son pesados y la paleta se flexional ligeramente cuando se apoya muy fuerte. Si El empaque incluye dos protectores inflables para las aletas inferiores del kayak para evitar que se doblen lo cual me parece muy útil al momento de guardarlos.
Yo necesitaba un kayak en donde cupiéramos cómodamente mi esposa, mi hijo de 7 años y yo, que soportara bastante peso pero que pudiera cargarlo y remar solo. Este kayak es perfecto para lo que quería. Inicialmente había pensado en comprar el modelo 330 pero encontré este a muy buen precio.
Diese Kajak habe ich aufgrund der Bewertungen bei Amazon gekauft und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Ich schreibe die Bewertung, nachdem wir mit dem Kajak einen Indonesien Urlaub gemacht hatten. Das Kajak hatten wir in eine XXL Reisetasche mit Rollen verstaut, wiegt 24Kg (bei 30Kg international frei kein Problem) Wir waren an mehreren Orten mit keinen Inseln und hatten diese immer mit dem Kajak besucht. Das Kajak wurde aufgeblasen, wir waren jeden Tag damit unterwegs, dann wurde das Kajak verstaut, wir sind in Indonesien weiter geflogen und dann das ganze wieder von vorn.
Ich wollte damit schreiben, dass das Kajak wirklich strapaziert wurde, aber ohne eine einzige Panne! Super!
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit mit dem Kajak und haben Orte erreicht, welche man ohne Boot oder Schiff (die es in der Region nicht gab) nie erreicht hätten. Da wir nur zu zweit im Kajak waren, hatten wir genug Platz für Getränke und unsere Schnorchelausrüstung incl. Taucherflossen. Auch einen kleineren Wellengang auf dem Meer ist für das Kajak kein Problem.
Dieses Kajak ist nicht in den Rankings oder Tests vorn, aber eine 100% Empfehlung!
I definitely would buy one again or another Sea Eagle product !
