More In-Depth Info
Featured as the most light-weight model in Sea Eagle’s FastTrack Inflatable Kayak series, the 385ft shares the same speed-minded feature seen in all three models within the series: the state-of-the-art NeedleKnife Keel. This upgraded keel offers a smooth and fast riding experience that reflects the same quality users would expect with a non-inflatable, or rigid, vessel.
Additionally, while rigid kayaks can weigh between 65-70 lbs., the FastTrack Inflatable models all range between 35-44 lbs. This makes transport much easier for trips, whether overnight or extended. Plus, because they are inflatable, they can also be packed and snugly stored without taking up as much space as a rigid vessel.
What Makes It Great?
The 385ft FastTrack is:
- Versatile – For fishing, rowing, paddling, and even whitewater kayaking up to Class II
- Fast
- Lightweight – Even for an inflatable model, this boat beats most with its lightweight advantage, while still offering the same great performance of a rigid kayak
- Has a large weight capacity – Can hold three riders, or up to 635 lbs.
Package Options
Sea Eagle offers EIGHT unique packages featuring various accessories and add-ons for the 385ft FastTrack kayak:
- Deluxe Solo Package ‒ Perfect for kayakers rowing solo out there on the waters, the Deluxe Solo package features a single 7’10” AB30 paddle, a carrying bag, repair kit, foot pump, slide-in swept back skeg, and a deluxe inflatable kayak seat. The AB30 paddle even comes in four parts, making it easier for users to pack and store.
