A great match for lakes and mild rivers.
If you want an affordable, all-in-one inflatable kayak that’s easy to set up and fun to paddle, the Sea Eagle 370 delivers a solid experience. This tandem kayak (which also works well solo) comes with everything you need so you can hit the water fast. The thick PVC construction keeps it rigid on the water, and the adjustable seats make it comfy for long paddles. The main drawback? The side tubes aren’t as burly as premium models, so it’s best for calm waters rather than rough rapids.

First Impressions
The Sea Eagle 370 Pro is an all-in-one inflatable kayak package that’s ready to hit the water (just add life jackets!). Right out of the box, it’s clear this is a well-thought-out setup for casual paddlers. The kayak itself feels sturdy for its price range, with thicker PVC than many budget inflatables, helping it hold its shape and resist ‘taco-ing’ in the water. The adjustable, inflatable seats are a standout feature, offering more comfort than most competitors at this price point.
That said, the included accessories, like the foot pump and paddles, are functional but not high-end. The paddles have a slight wobble and the pump is small, making inflation a bit of a chore. The carry bag is another weak point; it’s awkwardly shaped and difficult to repack. Still, for the price, the 370 makes a strong first impression as a solid entry-level option.
Setup/Packdown
Setting up the Sea Eagle 370 Pro is a mixed experience. The first time is the toughest, as installing the nine Boston valves (six small, three large) is finicky and requires some finger strength. Once they’re in place, inflation is straightforward, though the included foot pump is slow. Using a larger aftermarket pump cuts setup time significantly…
Deflating is easy, thanks to the quick-release valves, but repacking the kayak into its narrow, poorly designed bag is frustrating. It’s heavy (42lbs without paddles) and awkward to carry, so many users might prefer transporting it inflated when possible. Still, the fact that everything (paddles, pump, repair kit) fits into one bag is a plus for storage and portability.
Paddling Experience
On calm water, the 370 performs well. The 12.5-foot length helps with tracking and the PVC hull doesn’t absorb water, allowing for smooth gliding. The high-riding design makes it maneuverable, though it can feel less stable in choppy conditions or strong winds.
The adjustable seats are a highlight, as they wedge securely in place, making it easy to switch between tandem and solo paddling. They’re also thick and supportive, though sitting higher up does raise the center of gravity slightly. The kayak handles best with two paddlers, but solo use is surprisingly manageable.
One downside is storage space, as there’s not much room for gear beyond small items in the seatback pockets. The included paddles work but feel flimsy, so upgrading them might be worthwhile for frequent use.
Final Verdict
The Sea Eagle 370 Pro is a fantastic value for recreational paddlers. It’s not the burliest or fastest inflatable kayak, but it’s well-built for its price, comfortable and versatile enough for both solo and tandem trips. The all-inclusive package means you won’t need to buy extra gear (except life jackets), making it a great starter kayak.
That said, it’s best suited for flatwater use, as while Sea Eagle claims it can handle Class III rapids, its high sides and inflatable seats make it less stable in rough conditions. The awkward bag and mediocre paddles are minor drawbacks in an otherwise excellent budget-friendly package.
