Hobie Endeavor 12.5 Kayak
Yes , I recommend this product
Kayak was as nice as described. Molly was very helpful in explaining and demonstrating the features of the kayak which made our decision to purchase two kayaks easy. The price and quality of the kayak compared favorably with similar recreational kayaks at LL Bean that we considered.

Smooth ride! Tracks great!
Yes , I recommend this product
I bought this kayak in late fall, so I’ve only had one chance to take it out so far—but I was really impressed! It feels incredibly stable and glides across the water like a dream. The storage area behind the seat is super convenient for keeping a dry bag within easy reach (and not at my feet!). The cup holder fits my REI Nalgene water bottle perfectly, and it’s easy to grab while paddling. As a woman who wears a size 18 in pants, I fit comfortably in this kayak. I also love the higher seating position—it’s very comfortable—and the seat is removable, which makes transporting the kayak easier or gives you the option to use it for a picnic stop along your route. 10 stars for this amazingly comfortable seat! One thing to note: getting the kayak up onto (or down from) the top of an SUV might require two people. I’m on the shorter side, but I had no trouble adjusting the foot pedals while floating, which was a nice bonus. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and can’t wait for more adventures!
