Great quality and pet friendly!
I love this kayak! If you are looking for something that is great quality and pet friendly, I highly recommend purchasing this brand. I already own one of their paddle boards, so I was pleased to find their single kayak leaves space for your furry friend. My dog is a 52lbs shep/lab mix and she has enough room to sit/lay comfortably.

    This is my first kayak. Have had it for over a year. It is fun and easy to maneuver in the water. It is durable and quick to inflate whether using a hand or electric pump. The backpack has room for additional gear; however, the kayak seems heavier than the stated 23 lbs. Retrospec customer service is excellent! Had an issue with the center floor bladder and with a valve and they replaced both without issue and without charge.

    Terrible product and terrible customer service. After our second inflation we noticed the kayak seemed lopsided. I opened it up to see what was going on to find a seam had come undone causing the imbalance. I sent pictures to Retrospec thinking they would just send me a new center piece but they punted responsibility to Amazon. Never had a company not want to fix and stand by their product. Find a different kayak!

    Bought this for an upper peninsula Michigan trip and it packed in my checked bag just fine! I’m so glad I bought this for easy day trips on the water! Comes with everything you need but I suggest different oars because the ones that were included didn’t have a grip for hands.

    Overall good, not specifically great for a dog though

    Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2025

    I bought this kayak because it specifically mentioned that it was well suited to taking a dog with you. Aside from being wider than some others, I don't find it particularly well suited for a dog unless they are small and calm which would work in any kayak. The floor isn't extra reinforced and there really isn't much extra room in the single once you sit in it. I also bought it to kayak less than a mile between the mainland and an island town a little under a mile away, but the water has too many currents to make that possible in in inflatable.

    Overall this is a nice inflatable kayak , but don't expect it to ride like a hard sided kayak. When I go out with friends in proper kayaks they have a much easier time for half the effort. The kayak easily drifts in currents so you have to work to keep it straight and don't get much thrust per paddle compared to regular kayaks. For toodling around lakes and bays this is perfect though. I find it easy to haul around in its provided backpack and easy to clean. Setup takes me about 10-15 minutes from backpack to ready for the water and roll up a little longer because I have to dump water out and let it dry a little. The fabric cover means it takes a long while to dry so I often put it away wet and then unpack at home or leave the bag open in the car. The seat is comfortable and everything seems durable. My only complaint is that the paddle is too short to make it over the puffy inflatable sides of the kayak so I continually dump water on myself regardless of how I stroke. Totally worth having for summer fun and I am glad I got it even though it doesn't work for taking my dog or longer trips.
