Sea Eagle 330/370 Inflatable Kayak Real-life Review

The Sea Eagle 370 Pro is a lightweight and portable three-person inflatable kayak. The SE330 and SE370 are part of the series of affordable, lightweight Inflatable Sport Kayaks by Sea Eagle.

This is a very popular line of inflatable kayaks, if not the most popular. You see them everywhere. I rented a SE 370 for a test weekend to find out what the hype is about.

In this Sea Eagle 370 review, I’ll take a detailed look at the different aspects of the kayak.

Features of the Sea Eagle 330 and 370 Features

The SE 330 and it’s bigger brother, the 370, are Sea Eagle’s most “basic” inflatable sports kayaks. Obviously the word “basic” is relative, since Sea Eagles basic line is better than most other manufacturers’ inflatable kayaks.

Best 6-person inflatable boats

If you have a large family or like to entertain friends on the lake, you will need to get an inflatable boat that has the capacity to carry 6 people.

Unfortunately your choices are limited, since not many inflatable boats are made for 6 people to fit. Even the ones that are advertised to fit 6 people are usually rather tight (if 6 people can get in at all).

Most 6 person SIBs can carry 2-3 adults plus 2-3 children.

Sea Eagle 12’6″ Sport Runabout Review – Pros and Cons

The Sea Eagle 12.6 Sports Runabout is a medium-sized, premium inflatable dinghy. Sea Eagle products have always been known for their rugged, confidence-inspiring builds. Whether you use the boat extensively or pull it out once a week or month, the 12.6SR should keep chugging regardless.

I had the opportunity to test the air floor version of the boat for the better part of a day in Fl, and have been wanting to put my thoughts to “paper” ever since to help others considering the boat.

Let’s learn more about the Runabout to find out if it’s right for you in my review of the Sea Eagle 126sr.

Solstice Voyager Inflatable Raft Review

Solstice Voyager 6 Person Inflatable Raft

The Solstice Voyager comes in 4 versions, based on size. You could buy a 2, 4, 5 and 6 person model, but it seems you can only get the 6 person version (model 30800) nowadays.

I had the chance to use the 6 person Solstice Voyager this summer on a calm lake, so this review will be based around my findings with that particular boat.

Features of the Solstice Voyager

This boat is one of the lowest priced inflatable rafts you can buy in 2020. As such, you can’t really expect much from the boat.

It is made up of a total of 4 air chambers inflated through boston valves, which is nice from a boat of this value. The more chambers the better, since in case the boat is punctured out on the water, you still have 3 air tubes intact keeping you above water.
