Rated 3 out of 5

Nice design, mediocre quality

I like the design. Very stable and reasonably fast considering the stability. However, the durability is questionable. The seat is comfortable, but one of the strap attachments broke. Cheap metal. I ended up fabricating a tubular frame for a swivel seat. The new seat is about 4 inches higher than factory seat. Very comfortable and the swivel offers benefits that the rigid cannot. Maybe someday a manufacturer will offer this. The other issue is the fabric developed two pinhole leaks, not from wear and tear! I used aqua seal to seal the leaks. Holding up so far. But obviously not the quality of an Aire or Maravia inflatable. It's a great platform casual fishing and exploring. It can hold a lot of weight. I'd gladly pay extra for better quality. BTW, I've owned many inflatables over my 40 years of boating.

Perfect kayak for van camping

We own two of them and they are great for inshore and inter-coastal paddling up and down the Atlantic seaboard and Florida Keys. The flat deck area is perfect for a small cooler and live bait bucket. The outer tubes make sit very stable and perfect for a swimming platform. They track well and paddle easily, but really cruise when you add a Bixpy motor kit.

Great

Amazing with a motor. Speed, stealth, stability, and shallow draft are awesome

My bride likes her boat because she can get on and off easily, no cockpit to climb in and out of.

Introducing the Star Rival Inflatable Kayak, the ultimate sit-on-top inflatable kayak that redefines stability, performance, and convenience. It combines the hard-shell performance you crave with the portability and ease-of-storage you love in an inflatable.

Designed for versatility and stability, this kayak features a high-pressure drop-stitch floor, providing a robust and steady platform for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike. Created using thousands of fine polyester threads, this kayak's floor can inflate to a rock-hard rigidity, ensuring a safe and smooth sailing experience on every adventure.

The meticulous process involves interlinking two pieces of woven polyester fabric with intricate, evenly-spaced threading. Once these fabrics are locked together, they form an incredibly durable base material, ready to take on the toughest waters. Next, a protective air-tight coating is applied to create an inflatable that stretches the boundaries of the boating world. The result? An inflatable kayak that can withstand pressures up to 20 psi (1.48 bars), truly embodying the innovative spirit of NRS.

The Star Rival Inflatable Kayak stands out with its expansive dimensions of 12'6" x 38" (381cm x 96.5cm) and 6" (15.25cm) thick drop-stitch deck. The aluminum-framed suspended-mesh seat guarantees ultimate comfort, while the screened drain port under the seat ensures there is no standing water on the deck. With top-quality Leafield C7 inflation valves, the floor inflates to 8 psi (0.55 bar) and side tubes to 3 psi (0.2 bar), offering remarkable stability.

Moreover, the Star Rival Inflatable Kayak provides endless gear attachment options, including bow and stern bungee rigging and daisy chains. The stern fin plate accommodates interchangeable fins for customized paddling experience. Despite all these robust features, the kayak weighs just 30 lbs. (13.6kg) and has a generous load capacity of 300 lbs. (136kg).
