The super-popular Sea Eagle 330 Inflatable Sport Kayak is the perfect combination of price and quality for the budget-minded paddler. Sea Eagle has sold over 300,000 Sport Kayaks since they were first introduced in 1973, with over 60,000 being sold in just the last five years!
The Sea Eagle 330 and 370 Sport Kayak are two of the most popular inflatable kayaks in the United States!
What’s not to like about the Sea Eagle 330?!
- The 26 lb. SE330 takes only 6 minutes to inflate and holds one or two adults.
- It’s incredibly durable! Its extra-thick, specially formulated hull material stands up to abuse year after year of use. It’s even warrantied to do so!
- They fold up to a fraction of their size (24″ x 16″ x 7″) to be transported in the trunk of a car, stored in a closet or corner of the garage, and checked at the airport as luggage.
- And the load capacity is a phenomenal 500lbs.! There are some big men in my family. This can easily handle one of my 300-pound cousins and his camping gear!
The features, specifications, and price of the Sea Eagle 330 Inflatable Sport Kayak combine to make this kayak a true winner!

Key Features of the Sea Eagle 330 Inflatable Sport Kayak
The following key features of the inflatable Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayaks set them apart from the competition and deserve closer attention.
5-Tube, I-beam Floor
The 5-tube, I-beam floor of the Sea Eagle Sport Kayak provides a rigid inflatable floor that bears most of the weight rather than the side tubes. The I-beam floor along with the kayak’s natural chines improves the kayak’s speed and tracking for added comfort when paddling longer distances.
Two Rear Skegs For Tracking And Speed
The Sea Eagle Sport Kayak has two, rear skegs like a surfboard for superior tracking and speed with less paddling effort. Inflatable kayaks without skegs waste paddling efforts by weaving and wandering along the surface of the water.
The skegs are made of extremely durable, molded plastic that won’t be harmed when hitting rocks or running the Sport Kayak up on the shore.
Deluxe One-way Valves On All Air Compartments
Sea Eagle Sport Kayaks have simple, easy-to-use, deluxe, one-way, screw-type air valves for the inflation and deflation of the hull and seats with the final seal being achieved by an outside cap for true air tightness.
These deluxe air valves are designed with:
- An inner diaphragm to prevent air from escaping after it’s pumped in
- A larger opening for rapid inflation and deflation
- A molded O-rings to keep them attached to the kayak at all times
- An outside cap for true airtightness
Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayak Discount Packages
Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayak discount packages are available for the budget-minded kayaker. The basic accessories of each package are the foot pump, repair kit, kayak carrying bag, and easy-to-store kayak paddle(s) with drip rings for staying dry.
The seats and accessories change between packages to accommodate the needs of different types of paddlers.
Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayak – Deluxe Kayak Package
The Deluxe Kayak Package (Model Number SE330K_D) has the best price I can find for a quality, inflatable, 2-person kayak. Want to kayak solo? Just remove one of the seats and reposition the other for comfort.
This package for two includes the SE330 Sport Kayak, two paddles, two movable and removable, inflatable seats, a foot pump, and a carry bag with shoulder strap.
Features:
Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayak – Pro Solo Kayak Package
With the added comfort of its deluxe seat, the Pro Solo Kayak Package (Model Number SE330K_PSB) provides a superior setup for solo paddlers.
Features:
Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayak – Pro Kayak Package
The Pro Kayak Package (Model Number SE330K_P) is the tandem version of the solo package above. This is the better choice. The inflatable seats are removable and movable, meaning you can use this model as a 1-person or a 2-person kayak.
The option to take a friend, family member, or date along on your kayaking trip is worth the extra cost.
Solo kayaking is great but the bonding experience of kayaking with a partner is invaluable. I’d know. I met my wife while kayaking and our friendship grew out of kayaking together.
Features:
Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayak – QuikSail Kayak Package
The QuikSail Kayak Package (Model Number SE330K_QS) has everything in the Pro Kayak Package plus a kayak sail. Imagine the fun of turning your kayak into a downwind sailboat!
No permanent adjustments are needed for setting up the QuikSail just roll it up and stow it away when not in use.

Necessary Accessories
Personal Flotation Device (PFD): Always carry a United States Coast Guard (USCG) approved PFD. PFDs are part of the boating safety basics for paddle boaters and are required by law enforcement on government waters.
Dry Bags: Sea Eagle Sport Kayaks don’t have a watertight storage compartment like many hardshell kayaks. This makes dry bags necessary for keeping gear safe and dry.
Certifications
Sea Eagle inflatable Sport Kayaks are certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) confirming that the Sport Kayak series has been manufactured to meet the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards for design, construction, and safety.

Who Are Sea Eagle Boats?
Sea Eagle Boats is a family-owned and run company located in New York. They have had a stellar reputation for making high-quality inflatable boats since 1968 and each of the boats in their lineup is a testimony to their excellence in the inflatable boat industry.

Conclusion
The Sea Eagle 330 Sport Kayak is the best inflatable kayak available for the money. It offers superb tracking and performance for the budget-minded who want the benefits of an inflatable boat.
The 330 Sport Kayak, however, lacks versatility due to its size. It’s perfect for a solo kayaker or solo kayaker and small child but is tight when used as a 2-person kayak. If you are looking for a kayak that fits more than two small adults and a little gear, you’ll want to look at this kayak’s bigger brother, the Sea Eagle 370 Sport Kayak.
