Pelican Sentinel 100X- Sit-on-top Kayak - Recreational One Person Kayak - 10 ft

came on time and not damaged. First one ordered was damaged. Return was processing was straight forward. This one arrived in perfect condition

We bought these for Florida River paddling and so we can take our dog-a cardigan corgi- with us. They are lighter than a lot of the kayaks in this size range and the seat is very comfortable and supportive as well as easy to adjust. There is a lot of storage in the back of the kayak and bungee cords that do a good job of holding everything so it doesn't slip around. We can pack a lot into these kayaks too-my record is me, dog, cooler, 2 backpacks, a sifter, and a shovel! And there was room for another bag if i wanted it. The non-slip pad in the bow as well as the open pad area is perfect for our dog to ride (and occasionally jump out) while we are paddling. They are pretty sturdy overall and I prefer the sit on top style of kayak (I have a fear of spiders making a nest inside of the sit inside kayaks where I can't see it) so these have been great!

The Pelican Sentinel X100 was rated in the top 10 stable kayaks for dogs. It’s floor pad keeps our adult Boxer from slipping around the boat. Plus when we take a trip around the lake, the boat can heat up on a sunny day. But or dog doesn’t have to worry about that since it’s padded.It is easy to get around in and lightweight but still does not easily tip over. I am able to get in and out of the boat in water about mid-thigh deep without dumping my pup in. And my pooch can maneuver (very clumsily in the beginning) without tipping us over.The bungee straps on all 4 sides provide plenty of places to clip miscellaneous items such as flip flops or our dogs water bowl, just in case we need that extra security. The extra “trunk” compartment that comes with it is not waterproof but I love it. I keep my phone & keys in a waterproof pouch that I put inside the compartment.I do wish they could’ve done something different with gripping a wet boat to load it up. But I just bought some waterproof stair tread & put it where I needed some grip. And the seat doesn’t have anything to clip it down if transporting on top of your car. I just use bungee cords.I would absolutely suggest purchasing this kayak! It has given us so much enjoyment.

I bought this kayak to replace a Lifetime sit on that I had grown beyond. I wanted to start carrying more gear so I sought out a higher weight capacity. When sitting in the Pelican, you can reach forward to the bungee area and back to the bungee area behind and it doesn't shake or tilt the kayak. I store a cooler in the back and water bottle in the front, so reaching for these while on the water happens every trip out, and I have had no issues. One thing I was not entirely happy with was that only one side of the boat has the carrying handle divot for solo carrying the boat on its side.This does not come with a paddle, but I got an orange Pelican paddle to match in a different order and they look good together on the water.

I love the straps in the sides, front and back for storage. There is a soft padded area at your feet where my 70lb pit bull fit just fine. Doesn’t come with the paddle, so you need to buy separately. It’s ultra light so being a small woman I can bring it up and down the stairs and lift onto my car by myself. I think because it’s so light and more of a blunt nose it’s really slow in the water. I find to harder to keep up with some of my family with heavier pointier models, but it does the job. I prefer a hard bottom over inflatable because in Florida I am constantly going over oyster beds that might puncture an inflatable model. It’s worth the money and was the most cost effective I had seen online.

I bought three of these Kayaks for our vacation rental. We are just going into the summer season, so they haven’t been used yet. I did find the best price on Amazon, and shipping was free because I have Prime. It made a big difference when buying three.

CEVA had some very poor ratings. Worried? Hell yes. But. Bazonkazonk! Kayak arrived in a fairly decent plastic bag and the kayak came out looking showroom peachy. No scuffs, holes, damage or anything. Next up: Apache Lake with high school friends. I'll review the boat after the test run in the lake , although , I could use my neighbors pool? ... hmmmm

I LOVE this kayak, so had to include a picture of my happy face. Been looking for a great affordable kayak with all the basic features I wanted, but stock is low everywhere because of COVID-19. As soon as this came available I gobbled it up quickly before it sold out again. It came quickly, it cruises like a dream, I love the storage container, and bonus that it came with bungee cords. It’s very stable, went over some minor rocky rapids and I never took on water and my open drink in the shallow cup holder never spilled.The only gripe I have is the position of the seat. Though the padding was great as well as the adjustment features, my tail bone rested on the hard plastic of the kayak which made it tender after a few hours. Easy fix though, I’ll just sit on a towel for cushion, or eventually replace the seat.I also added handles/cleats so we had a place to run ropes through when mounting the kayak to the car.

This is a really good kayak for anyone interested in starting this sport

It was great on my most recent trip on the river. It handles well and the seat is comfortable and holds its composer. Great on the back for long trips .I also like the different foot positions giving me more thrust and smooth paddling ability. I am happy with my purchase and give it a 5 star rating. Only problem that i have is that it went on sale a few days after i purchased it.. Tho the 62 bucks extra was worth it !! I highly recommend this kayak !!

Being out in the lake on my own and recreational use, to see sunsets!

We had been looking for kayaks for over a year, they were sold out everywhere! Found these on Amazon by coincidence and we were excited when they shipped! Very satisfied, we will be kayaking this summer! Yay!

Have not used it but received it with some small scraps on the bottom, so not a good start.
