Aire Sea Tiger Kayak Review

Inflatable Kayaks

Aire Sea Tiger is one of Aire’s specialty inflatable kayaks and is great for many different types of water, including ocean saltwater, calm lakes, and rivers. This kayak is very versatile and extremely durable.

Comes with one of Aire’s best ten-year warranties and with a little care, this inflatable kayak will probably last a lifetime. It is well worth its higher price because it can take you anywhere without encountering any problems. For an inflatable touring kayak, it is undoubtedly top-notch.

Aire had taken Sea Tiger off the market for a while because it was not one of their best-selling products. However, it is now available again and has gained recent popularity.

Back now and better than ever, it is very stable and extremely robust. Everyone who reviewed this inflatable kayak loved it. There is plenty of room for two people to feel comfortable, with plenty of room for equipment and/or a dog.

The Aire Sea Tiger Inflatable Kayak was thoroughly tested and approved by saltwater paddlers from the sunny shores of Kauai to the icy waters of Antarctica. Thus, Aire Sea Tiger is a boat for any water. With its fast, V-shaped hull, Sea Tiger offers the stability and handling performance you require. 

Designed for two paddlers, it can also accommodate a solo navigator. The pedals of the rudder system slide along the kayak to accommodate any position of the seat. The self-blowing floor eliminates the need for bilge pumps. More so, because it is extremely stable, the Sea Tiger is an excellent platform for fishing or diving. The comfortable Cheetah seats offer excellent back support, plus a storage pocket and a bottle holder. They will even fold like a camp chair! And when the journey is over, simply deflate the Sea Tiger and keep it in the trunk of your vehicle.

Excellent features / Excellent performance

Sea Tiger comes with a rudder that works wonders for tracking. Although some people have claimed that they bring the Sea Tiger on a plane and used it on their vacation, it would not be our main choice when it comes to a travel kayak, as it is a bit heavy. The way we think is that anything over fifty pounds just doesn’t come with us on a plane. But that’s just a personal decision and others seem to not have any problem with it.

Although Sea Tiger has an excellent chase, it will not be the fastest kayak in the water. The Aire Sea Tiger width tends to slow it down a bit. That being said, this kayak can hold quite a bit of equipment and still paddle very well. With a weight limit of 700 kilograms, you would be hard-pressed to load this kayak to its limit.

There are forty anchor points and twelve D-rings, so there are plenty of places to attach an anchor if needed. This inflatable kayak is very popular for fishing, snorkeling, and diving. The seats are also fully adjustable so that they can be adjusted to the solo or tandem palette according to your needs.
