![]() I personally prefer the high back deluxe inflatable seats offered in the Pro Package over the SEC kayak seat. I have done all day paddling trips in the Sea Eagle 370 and been very comfortable. These kayaks are more comfortable than one might think. When the kayak is loaded properly it tracks well and glides smoothly. It basically comes down to weight distribution so just be aware when packing the kayak that the more evenly you can distribute the weight, the better it will perform. When I tried moving the back seat a little closer to the front seat I found that the tracking wasn’t as good. I find that with the back seat almost all the way at the back and the front seat about 3/4 of the way up the front the tracking is best. The tracking is good as long as you have the kayak inflated properly and the seats positioned in the right space. It is fairly light weight and takes very little effort to turn quickly. I find this model to be particularly easy to turn and maneuver. The 370 can hold up to 650 pounds of cargo and consequently can be loaded right up and keep on floating and tracking well. ![]() □Įven though this is an entry level kayak it is still a lot more solid than many other inflatable kayaks in this price range. However when paddling solo, your dog can have the second seating position all to himself. The dog will definitely end up between your legs. just for a little extra protection and comfort.Īlso worth noting there isn’t a lot of extra room in the kayak for a larger dog if paddling with two people. If you have a large dog I would recommend putting down a towel or a mat. My dogs are small and they often sit on top of the spray skirts at the front and back of the kayak. My dogs absolutely love going kayaking with me. In fact I would highly encourage bringing your dogs along for the ride if paddling on calm water. The Sea Eagle inflatable kayaks are made to be very durable, even their base Sport models. Let me put your mind at ease… I paddle with my dogs in the 370 Sport all the time. I can understand the concern, the boat is inflatable after all and most wonder if a dogs claws will puncture the material. I find that most people are a bit concerned about bringing a dog into an inflatable kayak. Always dry the kayak thoroughly after use before putting it away.Rinse with fresh water after paddling in salt water.Store the kayak in a cool area away from the elements. ![]() Use 303 Protectant to help protect the material from harsh UV rays.The seams are strong, the valves work great and the material holds up well.įollow these easy tips to help your kayak last a long time: I have used this kayak extensively and never had an issue. The construction is not as heavy-duty as their more expensive models but you can count on it lasting for a long time. DURABILITYĪlthough the 370 is a base model it is still well made. Whether you want to camp, fish, travel or simply enjoy a day on the lake cruising around, the SE370 is a fantastic option. The 370 Sport gets you on the water for a really good price. have used their inflatable kayaks for well over ten years. Sea Eagle is well known in the industry for manufacturing great inflatable boats and they have several different kayak options. It is a great option for beginner to novice paddlers, families, or for those who want a very portable kayak that can be taken anywhere. This is an entry level kayak that is not only affordable but surprisingly comfortable and easy to paddle. It takes me roughly 7-8 minutes to inflate all three air chambers. The valves are easy to use and no air escapes when inflating. There are three deluxe one-way valves for inflating the 370, one on the floor and one on each side. There’s room for improvement with the tracking on the 370 but overall it’s quite good. You don’t often find a base level inflatable kayak that tracks well. The two attached skegs do help with the tracking. It has a self bailing drain valve that allows you to quickly rid the kayak of excess water if needed. This kayak is fairly versatile and can be used on calm water as well as in up to class III whitewater. The Sea Eagle 370 sport inflatable kayak is virtually identical to the Sea Eagle 330 (see Sea Eagle 330 Review) except that it is slightly larger, weighs 6 pounds more and can hold an extra 150 pounds.
