Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for a top class fishing kayak which can accommodate up to 3 people. This is particularly good for sight fishing on flatwaters.

Pros:

The Sport Fisher has the needs of an angler well catered for with its range of nifty features. First class stability and tracking is ensured due to its UV-protected blow-molded polyethlene constructed and stable hull design. Molded carry handles are located at the front and rear of the kayak, so transporting it isn't hard on your hands.

It has two comfortable ergonomic seats with backrests plus a side-facing seat in the center, so you can kayak solo or bring two friends along with you and enjoy kayaking as a group. This 10 ft kayak has a max weight capacity of 500 lbs, so if you have 3 people on-board you’re looking at max weight of around 140 lbs per person.

Rear scupper holes allow you to drain water out of the cockpit area. As this is a sit-on-top kayak, this is a very important feature. There are three 1.5-inch fishing rod holders included plus a cup holder.

Storage-wise, this kayak doesn't disappoint. There is a dry storage compartment at the rear plus ditty trays and a shock cord to keep loose items tied down.

An on-board accessory mount allows you to fit a small electric motor or optional rudder if you want to enhance the tracking in the future.

Cons:

This kayak isn’t built for speed, so don’t expect to go fast in the waters or use it on rivers. However, its stability is second to none.

The seat back cushions aren't very substantial so we recommend getting some additional support particularly if you have back problems.

Guarantee: 1-year limited warranty.

Summary

The Lifetime Sport Fisher Kayak is a good quality kayak with enough features to please anglers as well as casual surfers looking for a paddle. Its substantial design and excellent weight capacity makes it a fine choice for taller or lager kayakers. As standard, two paddles are included so you don’t need to purchase any separately.

All in all, this kayak is well worth adding to your shortlist of quality fishing kayaks.
