Bought an 8’ model this spring and used it almost every weekend this summer. As and apartment dweller, I like having something I can store in my place and transport easily I may small car. I did have to reach out to customer service and they were prompt and eager to resolve my concern. I would recommend a Tucktec to anyone looking for a folding kayak.

Tucktec is AMAZING!
Before I owned this folding kayak, I had no real access to kayaking short of renting one. Now, I can fold her up, put her in the back seat of my car, drive to the nearest river or other body of water and get paddling! Tucktec is excellent with customer service. They aim to please, and if there is ever an issue, they strive to resolve it fast as lightning. I love the independence and freedom I now have to get exercise, peace and soak in the beauty of nature from the water!

Overall performs fantastically, easy to set up
1st off customer service is very responsive, the 1st time I contacted them about shipping questions they got back right away, the 2nd time I contacted them about a part I had questions on they sent out a new part within about 2 hours, no questions, and then they sent a follow-up email. I took my Tucktec out on clam bayou it was excellent. The only thing that was confusing for me was the seat installation, in the 10 foot 2023 video you can't see it well so watch the 8foot video, it shows it a little better, the installation was quick and easy, the instructional videos are "Barney style" as they say in the Navy. This is perfect for a spontaneous kayaking trip after finding some hidden gem hiking, I'm a small person, I'm 5'3", I got the 10foot pro but honestly considering getting a regular 8 foot to ruck with so I can ruck and kayak. FYI the canvas bag fits the base stuff kayak & paddle but if you get the stabilizers, and life vest pack you will need to either tie it to the outside or us a separate bag, I use my old seabag from the Navy for the accessories. Overall performs fantastically, easy to set up, strongly considering getting another to kayak with my kid, I am disappointed the purple was discontinued 😞.

Best purchase ever
Best purchase ever! Easy to transport. The team are very responsive! I purchased back on July, after my third launch I lost one of the stabilizer end caps and they send me a replacement right away! I am in love with my tucktec!

Recently purchased my Tucktec
Recently purchased my Tucktec.
Made in USA, very durable especially considering the weight.
Packs down pretty small, makes for easy storage. Light enough I was able to pack it in a few miles to paddle a remote lake.
Considering the price, this is a no Brainerd if you want a folding kayak!

Like most, I was skeptical about a foldable kayak. Finally decided to give it a try, mostly because there are great return policies. After my first time on water, I decided I would keep the kayak. In my second trip, I really bonded with my kayak and named her “Ruby” (she is red) on my third trip, I decided this kayak gives me the ultimate freedom to get on the water whenever I want, with or without others. Ruby is now a permanent member of my family. I have figured out all the little tricks to make assembly and folding easy. And now matter what, it is much easier than transporting a hard side kayak. Ruby is fabulous on the water. Floats well, tracks well, has plenty of space, and makes me happy! I am thinking of getting another one so I can take friends and let them try out their own Tucktec. #Tucktec

Perfect for me!
I was looking for a way to be able to get out on the lakes without needing help to load and unload. Tucktec for the bill perfectly! At only 28lbs I(65f) can easily lift it myself and it folds up and lays in my back seat!
To be honest, I did have a couple of problems. But their Customer Service department is great; quick to respond and solve any problems.
I love how sturdy and stable my Tucktec folding kayak is. Now, I'm no daredevil. This is not a kayak you'd take out on whitewater. But, it's exactly what I was searching for! And it only costs about half as much as the other folding kayak brand.#TUCKTEC
