Just taken my Wave Navigator out for the first time and so pleased with the quality. East to inflate, set up, deflate and pack away. Highly recommend

Great Kayak at a reasonable price, loads of room for two and more, looks to be really good quality. Takes around 5 mins to inflate with manual pump and really quick deflate.

After a lot of research the Navigator Plus was the best option I could find for a versatile inflatable kayak that could be used for multi-day trips with kit but still walked to the beach. It inflates easily, is very sturdy, paddles well for an inflatable and is portable short distances. Only wish the bag had a better waist strap to take the weight off of the shoulders.

Ordering was easy and delivery was quick. I am due an operation on my shoulder soon and one on my foot so I bought it as an incentive and something to look forward to in 2024. When it arrived I was lucky my partner was at hone as it was so, so heavy. I have bought a trolly to drag it to the water but its not put me off, I'm rather excited. Maybe you should also sell trolleys.

Fast delivery and good quality kayak. Took it out on the sea for it's maiden voyage and it glided through the water lovely. Very easy to use. The fins are a good addition. Didn't take too long to inflate. The last few pumps are hard to press down, but doable. There was a slight issue with one of the seat connections. I contacted the company and they sent a replacement out very quickly. Would highly recommend this kayak if you want an inflatable.

The perfect kayak for anyone with no room to store a hard shell canoe. Easy to set up and use. Comfortably fits 3 people. The drop stitch construction makes it reassuringly stable in the water, very similar to a hard shell to paddle and control. The dark blue colour dries quickly in the sun. Would recommend ditching the double kayak paddles and using single canoe style ones unless you want to get wet as you paddle.

Last minute purchase before heading to the Lake District. So glad next day delivery arrived as promised. Wanted the 2-seat version but grabbed the 1-seat version due to availability. Had to improvise a second seat as, disappointingly, the extra seat pack was also unavailable. Hope to get that soon when back in stock. This drop stitch kayak is very rigid when inflated and very roomy for 2 adults and a few canoe bags. An extra child also fits ok for a short trip. Stable on the lakes and paddles well. Not tried in rougher water. It would be a difficult 1 person carry without some wheels - that Wave don't seem to supply - would be nice if they did. We also purchased 2x Wave SUP Wildcats from another supplier as our preferred colour was unavailable from Wave directly. Annoying that the SUP and Kayak pumps are different so had to travel with 2 pumps. It is large when packed and wouldn't fit in our boot (Freelander 2 with all seats in use) so check how you plan to transport it (we could carry it in our caravan). Overall pleased, but perhaps should have checked the packed size more carefully as may have to go on the roof if not towing.

Owned a regular inflatable kayak before and looked forward to getting a dropstitch kayak, I wasn't disappointed, it was easy to inflate and getting the seats right wasn't an issue and seem fairly up to the job, even for a large bloke like me. The Kayak is very rigid when inflated, I inflated to 10PSI which seems well enough. The workmanship seems excellent although the skin was not as thick as I'd have thought. For the price I guess it is all fine and with careful ownership it will probably last a long while, the bits that get bumped were very well protected. In the water it goes really well, next trip I'd lose one of the skegs, seems OTT having 2. Dropped a star for the material quality thickness but I'd have probably dropped a star for being too heavy had it been thicker material..
