More About the Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayak

The Sea Eagle 330 is one of their sport inflatable kayaks but can also be paddled as a canoe.  It is a very good kayak to start with if you are brand new to inflatable kayaking as it is virtually impossible to sink or tip it.

It is easy to turn and manoeuver and will go over just about anything except for perhaps very sharp sticks.  It can be setup quite easily by any person of any age and can be taken literally anywhere in the world by car, RV, airplane or even by bike.

The Sea Eagle 330 is great for exploring, fishing, camping and relaxing days on the lake, river or calm sea.  It has a self bailing drain valve which means that if water gets in the boat you can open the valve and easily let it out.

More about Sea Eagle

Sea Eagle is strictly an inflatable boat company that has been in business for over 40 years.

They have an excellent reputation and consequently they are able to offer a 3-year warranty on all of their kayaks and boats as well as a no risk 180 day money back guarantee.

They are a great company to purchase an inflatable boat from and if you are looking for an entry level kayak that is very affordable and super lightweight the SE 330 is a great choice.  This inflatable kayak also comes in a slightly larger version – the SE 370 – which offers a fair amount more leg room than the 330.  Many people have mentioned that the 330 can be cramped.

The Sea Eagle 330 is great for beginners and traveling… however…

My honest opinion is that although I know the Sea Eagle 330 is a great inflatable kayak and is perfect for day tripping, it is truly an entry level kayak.  It is a good model to choose if you do not want to spend much money and want to find out if you actually enjoy kayaking.

If however you plan on getting out on the water more then a few times a year and are able to afford the extra few  hundred dollars, I would highly recommend going for one of their explorer kayaks such as the Sea Eagle 340x  or the new Sea Eagle 385 FastTrack.  Here is why:

First, an Explorer kayak or FastTrack will last you a lot longer.  They are much more rugged and practically impossible to puncture.  Second, they are sturdier and can withstand many different weather conditions as well as handle beautifully in just about any water condition.  They are really an all around better inflatable kayak.

Final Thoughts On the Sea Eagle 330

The bottom line is yes Sea Eagle makes great inflatable boats.  The Sea Eagle 330 sport is a beginner kayak and if you are just starting out you can be completely confident in the SE 330 or the slightly larger SE 370.  Once you become a more avid and experienced kayaker though you may end up trading it in for a better model.
