Sevylor Adventure Kayak Review(test, experience & rating)

The inflatable “Sevylor Adventure” is a kayak for two people that can also be paddled alone. We’ll go into that later.

At 314cm in length, it is quite compact. The very manageable pack size combined with the comparatively low weight of around 12kg makes this inflatable kayak an interesting offer for paddlers who would like to take their boat with them on trips.

This is also supported by the quick set-up, which the manufacturer specifies as around ten minutes. This means that the boat is quickly ready for use even for a spontaneous tour in between. The “Sevylor Adventure” comes in an elegant blue-gray color scheme.

“Sevylor” introduces itself as “The Original since 1948” and has set itself the goal of producing high quality, affordable, inflatable kayaks and canoes, inflatables, sit-on-tops, and much more that everyone can have fun with.

In this kayak presentation, we will tell you whether the sixty years of experience of “Sevylor” paired with these requirements also led to a good boat in the development of the “Adventure”.

In the following, we will present the “Sevylor Adventure” in detail and also explain the differences to other boats in the manufacturer’s program. In addition to the Sevylor Adventure, there is also the Sevylor Adventure Premium.

Here are more models In addition to the Sevylor Adventure, there is also the Sevylor Colorado, Sevylor Madison, and Sevylor Adventure Plus.

Capacity

The inflatable kayak is designed for two people. However, the total load capacity of the boat is only 165kg, so that the kayak should be well utilized with two adults and a little luggage. One customer also reports that it can be a bit tight, especially in the rear area, for taller adults.

However, thanks to the two adjustable and removable seats, it can also be easily converted into a single kayak. Then it is also well suited for solo paddlers to take more luggage and equipment with them.

The luggage can be secured with practical straps at the bow and stern.
If you are looking for a boat that offers you more space and a higher loading capacity, “Sevylor” has other suitable kayaks in its range.

Take a look at the Sevylor Yukon, for example. This is designed for a maximum load of 210 kilograms. Alternatively, the “Sevylor Colorado” might also come into question. It is a little longer than the “Adventure” and yet offers a total load capacity of 200kg.

In addition, “Sevylor” has the “Adventure Plus”, a kayak for two to three people, which is significantly longer and therefore also offers space for a small family.
You can also find these boats here on wellenliebe.de.

Features

The color design of the elegant kayak comes with a number of practical and proven details:

• Robust and resistant polyester cover.
• PVC side and bottom chambers with bar construction
• Three separate air chambers for more safety
• Practical straps in the bow and stern area for securing luggage
• Adjustable seats with backrests promise good seating comfort and can be removed (conversion to a single kayak).
• Removable fin and integrated track profile for easy maneuvering.
• Two handles for transport when inflated, as well as for turning the kayak on and off.
• The well-known “Boston valves” with sealing caps for easy inflation and deflation. The “Boston valves” are as easy to use as they are practical.

Operation Area

Relaxing paddling tours on sheltered waters and the fun tour near the beach are the areas of this entry-level boat.

Some customers rate the stability and good maneuverability as particularly positive. Few customers complain about poor maneuverability when paddling with just one person.

We recommend a dry suit so that you are well prepared for long tours. You can find the best kayak drysuit here.

If you need a boat for the family, “Sevylor” also offers a family kayak, the “Adventure Plus”, which we have also presented.

Acquisition Cost

The inflatable “Sevylor Adventure” is a good boat for everyone who is looking for a simple boat for leisure and vacation.

It is ideal for beginners who may only go paddling every now and then and therefore do not want to spend too much money on the right equipment. You can find out what a kayak costs here.

Processing

Many customer reviews are positive and mention the good quality of this inflatable kayak.

A customer reports that after three years the plastic around the vent of the floor chamber had dissolved and the floor had become unusable.

Equipment

In addition to the boat, the scope of delivery already includes the attachable directional fin, a transport bag, and even a pressure gauge.

We rate the latter as particularly good because without a manometer it is difficult to see exactly whether enough or too much air has been pumped into the chambers.

A repair kit is also included.

The “Sevylor Adventure” is designed for one to two-person operation. Thanks to the easily removable seats, it can be quickly converted from a two-person to a single kayak.
