Pelican™ Sentinel 100X Sit-On-Top Kayak – Perfect for Fishing & Recreational Use

jenna zjenna z: 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!

Pamela Miller: I bought this kayak to replace another that is much heavier. I could carry this kayak over my head if it had handles on the sides. Seems like a major omission not to have them! This is not the fastest kayak I have owned.

Decal: I really like this kayak its fairly lightweight and nice looking comes with plenty of storage space and room to sit I bought mine in the winter because they are cheaper than spring summer by a lot I also bought the sit in style as well I like them both if you need a good kayak this one is very nice for the price! 😁

White Noise Zebra: I have tried a few kayaks so far. This one is the most comfortable of them. The first one was an inflatable with no foot support, the other two were folding kayaks which were more portable than the Pelican but had minimal support on the foot rests (theirs tended to move around so were less stable.) The Pelican Sentinel 100X's foot rests are much more stable. Still not perfect, but then again, my feet are not perfect, so short of getting new feet, the Pelican's foot rests will do. The seat is similar to both of the folding kayaks I had. Not great padding and minimal back support, but the Pelican holds up my mid-back slightly better than any of the other kayaks I tried. If you are a DIY'er you could switch out the seat for something more substantial.

This kayak maneuvers decently but not amazing. For the price point I am not disappointed. It moves through the water fairly easily with not too much effort. It's lightweight enough that I can get it on and off the roof of my car without help. I do wish it had more grip points. It is a little awkward with only one grip point on each side. I can grab one of the scupper holes to aid in carrying it but it's not ideal. If you aren't...

Don Neil: We have been using these Kayaks for almost a year and we love them. My husband is a big guy and he feels very comfortable in this kayak. They are very sturdy and comfortable. They are a bit heavy so I am not able to load them by myself but have no other complaints.

Coreen: I've only had it out once (for 4hrs) and although I adjusted the seat straps I found it did not have any back support unless I was in a reclned position. Also the moulded foot pegs were not in a comfortable position for me. I am disappointed that I will have to spend more money on a sturdier seat and sliding foot pegs There are screws to remove the foot pegs so hopeful it can be replaced with whatever universal alternative I choose. I am not sure how easy it will be to remove and replace the seat.

LauraLaura: I bought a pelican sit on top 9 1/2 foot kayak , What I could see it this junction, was that the order transaction was smooth , it was delivered in a timely fashion and the driver help me put it into the garage, it came in a heavy plastic covering with transporting handles, not padded packaging , I put it on a moving blanket on the floor , after I unwrapped it , I sat in it , placed my feet , adjusted seat, was very comfortable, the storage case at the back , was held in with bungee cords and a zip tie, but for transporting over my head , the storage case fell out as it does not lock in. I will have to MacGyver something to keep it secure, I ordered separately a paddle & plugs. I looking forward to trying it out in the spring when the water opens up :)
It looks & feels great, I am able to physically move it around for transporting, no water experience as of yet. therefore my experience so far , I give it a 4 star up to this point :)

Gary L: 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 !!
