Other reviews here are pretty good, so I'll just my thoughts and experience.I looked at a lot of inflatable kayaks before choosing this one. My main requirement was that I have a lot of room for my legs (I'm 6'3"). I'd tried a few kayaks (rigid and inflatables) where I didn't like having to be completely inside or have my knees bent all the time. With that in mind, most of the inflatables I found seemed to look way too much like rubber rafts instead of kayaks. Ultimately, that probably wouldn't bug most people, but I wanted a kayak! (or, at least something that pretended to be a kayak really well). The canvas covering on the Navarro 130 really sold me on it. Yeah, it's more of an inflated/rubber canoe than a kayak, but it doesn't LOOK like it (not too much).I've taken it out 4 times. I used a Ryobi Inflator to put the air in. I had to find some special adaptors to make it all work. The sides inflate individually, and then the floor gets inflated. There's also a 'collar' that you can inflate (I just blow into it). Getting the kayak to the right pressure is a challenge, since the max pressures for the three main parts are pretty low. I ended up ordering a low-pressure gauge (made for golf cart tires, I think?) to help check the floor pressure. The floor becomes rigid at max pressure, so I try to get that as close as possible to the max (6.0 psi). One thing I haven't seen anyone else mention is that the floor is actually a completely separate object. I inflate the sides first, then lay the floor in and get it centered and then inflate it. When I deflate everything, I take the floor out to get everything dried off.The canvas covering of the top and the inside 'pontoons' takes a long time to dry, which is probably my only complaint. But the canvas also gives the kayak the look and feel I really like, so it's a trade off.Pros: Looks cool, lots of leg room (too much? - see below), very comfortable to sit in and paddle, lots of storage space, easy to carry around (inflated or deflated), nice paddle straps on each sideCons: Takes a while for the canvas to dry off, storage bag is bare-bones compared to what other companies offer, doesn't come with paddle or pump (which could be a pro, since it makes it cheaper and maybe you already have a paddle and pump?), seems like it's 1-2 feet longer than it needs to be.

My partner and I received one of these as a present back on Xmas 2021, and we didn't get to use it until it warmed up. It's extremely convenient because it fits in the trunk of a car deflated, and it's very quick to set up (once you've practiced a few times). So I bought a second one a few months ago and realized something was wrong. The electric pump took several minutes longer on the side tubes (there's 3 independent areas to inflate), and clearly struggled having to pump harder. More annoyingly when we had to re-balance the inflatables (sometimes the 3 parts to fall quite into place) we found we couldn't unscrew the caps without releasing all of the air. It was SO easy and worked so well on our other kayak, we just couldn't believe it. We spent over 30 minutes on this project by the water.Well it turns out Aquaglide in wanting to reduce the number of different components across their lines changed their boston valves on the Navarros with much smaller plugs from another of their lines which take more force to inflate and which have tiny rings which make it near impossible to unscrew the caps without taking off the whole valve. Even removed from the kayak we couldn't separate them with our hands; it was real torture on our hands.To their credit their support team was incredibly nice, and they sent me new parts after explaining to me what and why they made this change. Unfortunately the change is permanent and irreversible, which means going forward ALL new Navarro 130s (and other Aquaglide kayaks) will have this deficiency. I don't want to put more energy into this project than I already have so I apologize for the lack of videos and photos, so let me put it succinctly: I will keep, enjoy, and tell everyone about our 6 month old Navarro 130 (which would have gotten 5 stars) and I will return the new Navarro and explore other brands for my second kayak.The inflating valves on an inflatable kayak may be

llego en tiempo, muy contento del primer uso, estuve casi todo el dia en el agua, tristemente, al final del primer dia, se descosturo uno de los costado y decidí devolverlo, hasta el momento no me han solucionado la devolución. Esta muy emocionado de la versatilidad de una Kayak inflable, pero no se dieron las cosas como hubiera querido, espero me reembolsen el pago, para comprar un Kayak rígido y seguir disfrutando el mar que tanto amo

I was pleasantly surprised by this kayak. I have a really nice 13 foot, 100lb plastic stand-up fishing kayak that fits in the bed of my truck, but my wife wanted to join me. I couldn't fit another one back there and I wanted something light enough for my wife to handle, so I reluctantly looked into inflatables. I had an inflatable kayak years ago and it was awful. It wouldn't track, and the wind blew it all over the lake. It also weighed a ton and didn't have a protective cloth cover on the hull.This kayak is totally different. The bottom is literally stiff as a board and it has a fin to help with tracking. It paddles very well and tracks straight. It's almost the equal of my rigid kayak when it comes to performance on the water.A few specifics:-The zippers are heavy duty and strong.-The cloth cover is nice looking and tough and the air bladders are thick and tough.-There are two kinds of valves, which is annoying but necessary due to the high pressure of the floor (6psi).-I bought a 12v electric pump. It fills the kayak to the right pressure quickly and came with a big bag of various valve adaptors, two of which were correct!-I though it was odd that the boat did not have any storage pouches or zippered compartments other than the hatches. It would be nice to have a couple of pouches to hold boat licenses, etc.-The seat is OK, not great. My wife added an extra cushion for more padding and higher position and things are good now.-There is tons of room inside for the boater and cargoIt's so nice to be able to put a really capable 13' kayak in a bag and stick it in the closet. I had to build a special rack for my rigid kayak outside, with a little roof, and cover it with a special waterproof cover. My boat's great in the water and excellent for fishing, but out of the water, it' a big hassle compared to the inflatable.

Good: Easy to inflate. Used my SUP electric pump and used an Amazon available adapter for the side bladders.Holds a straight trackComfortableEasy to transport and store.Paddled against a moderate tide under a bridge and had no issues.Limitations: Light, blows in the wind.Slightly more “draggy” in the water than a standard plastic kayak.Sides are high and contact your hands when you paddle.Needs to be dried out after use. In an apartment, this is “interesting” given the boat is 13 feet long.Overall, an A for what it is.

Have only taken this kayak out twice now, but it's pretty fantastic so far. Very comfortable and pretty easy to inflate. You need to alternate inflating the side walls as to not have the boat lean one way too far.. Difficult to explain, but took me a few tries to get it right.Once it's out on the water, it's very easy to maneuver and seems pretty fast. Have been out for a few hours total and am very comfortable. I'm 6'3 and am very happy i chose this over the 110. The extra space has been nice so far for carrying my paddle board friends supplies, as well as the cooler!Only thing is that the optional deck is pretty important imo. Would have been nice if they included it, but not too upset as the product overall seems extremely high quality so far.Will update in the future!
