Sea Eagle 370

Size, weight, capacity

Fully inflated, the Sea Eagle 370 is 12 ft. 6 in. (381 cm) long and 33.8 in. (86 cm) wide. This gives you enough length for either three people, or two adults and some camping gear without the storage issues that you would usually have to contend with.

A key benefit to an inflatable kayak, besides the storage, is the increased load capacity. For a 12 ft. kayak, the 650 lb. (295 kg) capacity is enormous. To carry this comfortably, it’s important to make sure the kayak is fully inflated to the recommended 1.1 PSI.

Sea Eagle 370 weighs just 33 lbs. (15 kg), so it’s easy to load up into the trunk of your car and take to and from the river. This is also ideal for anyone living in apartments.

Features

Sea Eagle kayaks are among the strongest inflatable kayaks on the market. With sun and saltwater resistance and hulls designed for up to Class III rapids, these kayaks are built to last.

The I-beam floor construction gives the Sea Eagle 370 direction and stability. When fully inflated, these beams are extremely rigid, so you get maximum control and comfort. Inflatable seats keep you comfortable as you cruise around. Skegs on the underside bring an element of tracking and speed that inflatable kayaks often lack.

Spray skirts at the bow and stern stop ocean and river spray from soaking you in your kayak. A central drain bung lets you empty out any water which makes it past these skirts.

Bow and stern grab lines give you control of the boat and let you move it around when launching and landing.

Performance

The Sea Eagle 370 has all the stability you would expect from an inflatable kayak of this size. Transporting and inflating this boat is straightforward, so you can spend maximum time enjoying yourself on the water. The capacity is enough to carry three kayakers, though the Sea Eagle 370 performs best with two passengers.

The kayak is easy to launch and climb aboard. The reinforced PVC hull is durable enough that you won’t worry about scraping over a few rocks on the way. This durability makes the Sea Eagle 370 a great choice for negotiating up to Class III rapids.

The high sides, while making this boat stable, can make it difficult to reach over the sides. Together with the seats, which are low in the boat, this can make it hard for smaller passengers to paddle properly.

The Sea Eagle 370 is a great choice as a recreational family kayak. For those who want something more technical, there are more capable models such as the Sea Eagle 380x.
