New 2012 Fourth Generation Explorer Kayaks Now Shipping
New Lighter - Stronger Sea Eagle Explorers are Here!
The New Explorers features:
Cutting edge design- cuts weight by 20%
Fewer seams- increases structural strength
16 Drain valves- to get water out quickly
A Removable Skeg- for flatwater tracking
Full length Drop-Stitched Floor- for super rigidity and faster paddling
The Legendary Explorers were introduced in 1978 and have been living up to their name for 34 years by traversing waterways around the world. The new lighter stronger Explorers are made possible by advancements in technology plus some good old fashioned kayaking experience. Get the best of both worlds; a time-tested proven performer, and a refined state-of-the-art kayak.
Sea Eagle Explorer Kayaks were first introduced in 1978. We are very proud to
introduce the 4th complete redesign in their history. These new Sea Eagle 380x
& 420x Explorers now feature a full length, lash-down high pressure drop stitch
floor for greater structural strength and rigidity and a large removable slide
skeg for true tracking ability. Because the drop stitch floor is only 3” thick, it
provides a very low center of gravity, greater cockpit depth and more inside
cockpit space for extra gear. A great new feature is the 16 open and shut drain
valves which allow you to drain the kayak superfast in heavy white water and in
ocean surf, yet also allows you to run completely dry on flatwater rivers, open
lakes and bays. Best of all, these Explorers are made with new ultra light, super
strong 1000 denier material that reduces greatly their weight (5 & 7 lbs.)
Light enough and compact enough to be checked in as airline luggage, yet easy
to be paddled by one or two people. These are great all around kayaks for
growing families, serious open water paddling kayaks and true expedition
quality craft that can be taken into the wilderness for weeks at a time.
Tina says her dogs enjoy their Sea Eagle Explorer rides too!
"We're getting noticed when launching. Good noticed.....
I'll spread the Sea Eagle message"
New lighter, stronger, redesigned Explorers can do it all!
Computer-aided design and state-of-the-art fabrication allows a reduction in weight (9-12lbs) while improving structural strength. Now with 16 drain valves for super-fast self-bailing in white water. Also features, removable slide skeg for improved tracking on open water. These new Explorers are the "pound for pound" champions capable of handling any type of adventure.
Explorer Kayaks Can:
Rocket fearlessly down Class IV rapids.
Traverse miles of wilderness rivers to spend weeks at impossibly obscure camping sites.
Reach remote Fly fishing trout streams and lakes other fishermen can’t get to.
Fits easily in the trunk of your car or a small plane.
On-the-fly flexibility: handles wet OR dry conditions with ease.
What do you do when the placid river you’re kayaking becomes a free-for-all of rapids?
16 Self-Bailing Drain valves drain water swiftly.
A removable skeg reduces yaw for long flatwater touring
Drains OPEN: the craft bails itself through the 16 large, evenly spaced, convertible drain valves.
Drains CLOSED: they don’t let a drop of water in so you stay comfortable and your cargo stays dry.
In flat water, slide on the large, removable skeg to keep the explorer on its intended course. The skeg limits the sideways deviation called yaw that comes from paddling, allowing for greater efficiency and speed. Ideal for those long treks across wide, scenic lakes renown for placid beauty.
Double-Floor Protection
The new Explorer Kayak is tough as nails and rugged enough to conquer any boulder strewn rapids. Stem to stern, it’s constructed of super light and super strong 1,000 denier polyester-supported high-pressure fabric. The new state of the art design incoporates electronically welded seams and a double floor system, making the Explorer as tough as “crocodile hide”.
ORDINARY kayaks LIMIT your adventuring...
Most other inflatables are good for Whitewater paddling OR flatwater touring - but not both.
Whitewater inflatables are "wet-only" boats. They drain excess whitewater in wet conditions but leave you wet and cold in flatwater
Flatwater inflatables - dry only boats - have no drain valves so they're useless if you get into rough water.
Ordinary Rigid Kayaks and Canoes are:
Far heavier than inflatables
Require an expensive roof rack
Can't be packed in a car trunk or checked as airline baggage.
Are you a true adventurer? If your idea of a perfect weekend means harrowing treks and trips that make others blanch, you definitely qualify.
If you can only own one kayak, make it a Sea Eagle kayak!
The Sea Eagle Explorer kayaks are all true world-class kayaks. They are constructed of our best fabric, have a double floor system, and are self bailing. There just isn't any better inflatable kayak out there, just more expensive ones!

Deat Tim,
"I bought a Sea Eagle 380x Explorer from you 10 years ago. It has been on every river of any note in the west. I just got back from a great trip down the middle fork of the Salmon river. Lots of class 3 and 4 rapids. I have also often had my Sea Eagle on the Sea of Cortez. It is a great boat. I would suggest this boat to anyone. When I bought my IK I had seen your truck with advertising at Costco in Prescott. I am glad I did! I can't imagine a better boat for my varied needs!
This video demonstrates how the dropstitch floor in the 380x Explorer kayak (in addition to other models) makes the boat rigid enough to be used as a Stand Up Paddleboard.
Length: 0:39
SeaEagle 380x Explorer Inflatable Kayak
The Sea Eagle 380x allows whitewater capabilities up to class 4. The rugged 1000 denier hull material is the same as in our sport boat line and can withstand impact with rocks, boulders and other obstacles. Capable of operating at a working pressure of 3.2 PSI, this kayak is rigid enough to cut through waves and sleek enough to slide out of holes. 6 d-rings on top of the pontoons ensure totally secre seat attachments.

11' 9" x 1' 3"

Double Floor System:
1) 2000 Denier outer fabric floor for true protection
2) New! Upgraded super rigid Drop Stitch air-floor increases the overall rigidity of the kayak
A very important feature is the just introduced upgraded high pressure Drop Stitch air-floor. It provides rock solid rigidity to the whole structure of the kayak making it very responsive to paddle strokes. The Drop Stitch air-floor even makes this kayak rigid enough to be used as a Standup Paddle Board.
A 37" beam makes for a stable ride and the 12' 6" length makes this kayak big enough for two people and a week's worth of gear. The four high capacity drain valves can be unscrewed to provide self bailing capability, or screwed securely on for dry lake paddling.
The Sea Eagle 380x is a true expedition quality kayak, and is large and tough enough for rugged wilderness travel.
Electric Pump, Directional Stabilizer, and other accessories are available.
On-the-fly flexibility: handles wet OR dry conditions with ease
Explorer Kayaks handle Class 4 Rapids with ease. What do you do when the placid river you’re kayaking becomes a free-for-all of rapids? If you’re in an ordinary “dry-only” kayak with no drains, you must either portage your craft or get ready to sit in several inches of cold water. Similarly, a common “wet-only” kayak’s permanently open drains let water in, even in dead-calm water.
Long open water trips are a breeze. The Sea Eagle Explorer Kayak is ready for wet OR dry conditions with four extra-large, easily convertible drains. Drains OPEN, the craft bails itself in rough whitewater conditions. Drains CLOSED, they don’t let a drop of water in so you and your cargo stay comfortably dry in calm water. And — worst case — even filled to the gunwales with water, the Explorer Kayak still floats.
My buddy David and I can now tell you just how tough these Explorer kayaks really are!!! We got diverted off a flooding river 2 weeks ago by a series of log jams and ended up stuck out in flooded timber after dark while the temperature was dropping to down near 40 degrees! We finally realized with all the floating debris and tight handling that we would never be able to return the main channel or dry land with out emergency assistance (Yes we I had left my GPS device and compasses at home).911 eventually sent DPS Chopper 1 out of Dallas to guide us out after 2 hover craft failed to even get close to us. Once they found the shortest path to dry land for us, we had to swap back and forth with one of us in the kayak and the other dragging the kayak as fast as we could past all sizes of trees, over downed timber, floating logs, thru thick brush, briars, and about ever other manner of pokey thing you could imagine to reach dry land some 400 yards away. All this in a freezing 3 feet of water! We left the boat once we reached dry land as we had to go about another 200 yards through thick underbrush to reach waiting EMS personnel and a warm ambulance! It was 2 days before I could return to fetch the kayak. Amazingly to my (still very emotional and upset) wife and I, that Sea Eagle 420X (you sold me last year) was still FULLY inflated in the middle of a big briar patch!That same bunch of briars had managed to shred my lower legs the night of incident, but didn’t put a scratch on the kayak! I can't thank you and Sea Eagle enough for the tough boats you sell and their absolutely Awesome Ruggedness! Thanks to that Ruggedness two kayaking novices lived another day and learned their lesson about going in unprepared for the worst! This story would have had a very different ending had it not been for the over achieving Sea Eagle product you sell! Now we know on our next adventure we can absolutely depend on the boat!It is us we need to worry about apparently!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tim,
Our boat arrived today, on schedule. I inflated the boat this eve and am quite impressed. The quality has NOT diminished. We were very impressed nearly 30 years ago when we took our first SeaEagle 380s down the Gila River in the Gila Wilderness AArea. They ran aground, capsized in the rapids, bent around branches, but NEVER deflated.For many years my friends and I won the "Great Rio Grand Raft Race" down the river in Albuquerque in our SeaEagle, even against standard kyaks. We did once get a 3 foot rent down the outer floor of 380 on the "jacks" (Steel "x"s poorly designed to prevent erosion). I was in the front and escaped serious damage to my sensitive anatomy , thanks to the multi-layer floor. We did not win that year, but we none the less floated in to the finish safe and sound. With the high runoff this year, the race is being reinstated and we are now ready!
I am struck with the improvements made in the last 30 years. THe materials are stronge, the welds solid, the main valves incredible, the drain ports are now substantial and are not at risk of loosing the "plug". The seats are a major improvement, including the "D" rings that hold them in place. The front and back rope handles are great.
After the race this Saturday, I will let you know how the 380 performs, but a bunch of 60 yr olds don't expect to best the young bucks.
Thanks for your (and Crystal's) promptand courteous attention to our purchase. Sorry to bother you on Memorial Day... I did not expect to get a real person on the holiday.
Yours truly, Robin Tuchler
BTW, if you would ever like to see a 29 year old SeaEgle 380 and compare it'sconstruction, you are welcome to stop by if you are ever in New Mexico on your travels.

My wife and I put in at Eleven Points River in Missouri with Sea Eagle 380x. We were with people who rented canoes. Our control of the boat was exceptional. I can't say that for the rented canoes. I love the stability of the Sea Eagle 380x. It is a great boat for any age. Thanks for a great product.

I love it! Whether I'm using it solo or as a tandem it holds its own in rivers or on quiet water. It's easy to pack and easy to inflate and there is room for all kinds of equipment for a long day out.

Material you can hit with a hammer
Would you hit an inflatable boat with a claw hammer? We hit the 1000 denier hull material in our Sea Eagle boats with a claw hammer .... with the sharp claw end.
The Sea Eagle reinforced hull material can take this incredible pounding ... so you don't need to sweat bumping into the dock now and then.

2 discount packages available but which one to order?
I know..! I know..! You've done your research and you're itchin' to order but now you're wondering which discount option package to choose. Crystal and I have a PaddleSki 435 and we choose the Deluxe Package. Here's why.......
We find that the Tall Back Seats found in the Pro Package are impossible to rig without customer installed D-Rings and even after installing additional D-Rings(it's easy) the Tall Back Seats are prone to collapsing forward or backward!. Even when rigged correctly the TBS rigging surrounds you making it difficult to enter and exit the kayak. The TBS's 1/4" too thin, too hard seat cushions are uncomortable and also positions the paddler too low in the kayak. In the case of the 435 this makes it difficult to swing your legs around to exit the kayak, and, in the case of our sit-in kayaks, namely the FastTrack and Explorer kayaks, this creates a lack of hip room for all but the skinniest paddler. The 4" thick inflateble seat on the Deluxe Kayak Seat positions you higher and positions the paddlers hips above the narrowest area between the roll of the rounded side chambers allowing for adequate hip room in all our sit-in kayaks. The Deluxe Kayak Seat's 4" thick seat bottom is also much more comfortable and keeps the paddlers above any pooling water making for a drier ride and, best of all, allows just as much back support as the Tall Back Seat. Lastly the higher seating position makes paddling easier and makes for better sight fishing...or fish peeping.
Next the Paddles. How much better is that AB4O Pro Paddle?
The AB30 Deluxe Paddle and AB40 Pro Paddle are almost exactly the same length. Laying one on top of the other the length difference is infinitesimal...less than an inch. The Quality and Effectiveness of the AB30 equals the AB40. We like the AB30 Drip Cups better. If it sounds like we are steering you to the much less expensive Deluxe Package - you're right!
But those stow bags sound nice...
We also feel that the not so dry - bow and stern stow bags - are gimmicky and we use standard after-market dry bags instead.
This ultra-fast pump is made even more convenient with a battery that neatly fits in the included carry bag. With a full battery charge, you can easily inflate our largest boat several times over.
With this convenient package, you can carry your boat close to the water and inflate it within easy reach of the water.

an editorial...and a promise!
Sea Eagle requires from their dealers Minimum Advertised Prices (MAP) that are consistent with Sea Eagle's company website prices. The guidelines are simple. Anything below these prices is illegal.
All dealers are supposed to follow these guidelines but there continue to be several shopping sites that openly and cosistently violate Sea Eagle's MAP policy and advertise priices below the MAP minimums. These shopping sites are very big multi-million dollar companies who wouldn’t know a boat from a bullet or a kayak from a Kleenex but they'll sell anything and use their clout to drown the little guys and the Mom and Pops of the retail world. Most violators are millions bigger than even Sea Eagle so Sea Eagle is very careful that they don't antagonize these big guys and tend to turn their back on the illegal practices of these multi-million violators like Overstorck, Amazon, and DirectBoats to name a few..
Which brings me to our little Mom and Pop boat company Inflatable Boats 4 Less. Mom (Crystal) and Pop (Tim) love boating, and Sea Eagle inflatable Boats in particular, and devote much of their time keeping you informed about the benefits of Sea Eagle boats, kayaks, and accessories. Our prices have always been the lowest allowed by Sea Eagle's MAP policy and our service has been voted the highest, as thousands will attest. Our fact- filled website wins compliments and awards and provides you information you just can't find anywhere else.
That being said, after visiting our website and getting to know us if you feel compelled to order from us but arey tempted to buy from an illegal shopping site we just want to remind you once again of our Low Price Guarantee.
