Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem Kayak Review

The Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem Kayak is a sporting boat that most contemporary outdoor types will find beneficial. More and more people are deciding that they want to get into, or stay, in shape. Going to the gym can become a bit boring after awhile. In contrast, there is rarely a dull moment out on the water in a kayak.

This tandem kayak seats a maximum of three people, allowing couples, friends and families to spend time together. Since the seating area is on top of the craft, users can engage in a range of water activities. Fishing and exploring are two of the most common uses of the Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem Kayak. Paddling is another great past-time preferred by Vibe Skipjack 120T owners.

By the way, a solo kayaker can maneuver the unit alone while sitting in the center position. So, it is possible to take this craft out for some precious solitary moments as well.

About This Kayak

The Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem Kayak is a very stable vehicle. People can ride it in all types of waterways, including rivers, flat water and light surf.

This product is safe for two adults and a child to ride together. Families use comes highly recommended. Going kayaking on weekends or while on vacation is a good way to spend some much needed family quality time.

Because of the relative ease of use, the Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem Kayak is often employed as an introductory watercraft for novices to this hobby-sport. Experienced kayakers can feel confident about taking beginners out for those first rides.

Do not take the Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem Kayak into seriously turbulent waterways, such as white water rapids. Instead, keep to calm streams for best safety. Also, this unit is not for professional or other competitive racing events.

What We Like About It

Most owners find the ability to store items onboard a major plus. The Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem Kayak comes with above average storage capacity. All-day exploration is no problem because boaters can carry enough food to last a long time. Also, extra equipment, such as rain gear, can be kept conveniently stored until needed.

The compatibility with major brands is another beneficial quality. At times, it can be difficult to find mount holders that match the specifications of a particular kayak. The Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem poses no such problem. Most sporting good stores will carry the holders for this product.

Sporty camo colors get kayakers in the mood for adventure. They also hide the boat well, as needed when fishing.

Quite stable, the Vibe Skipjack 120T Tandem is easy for beginners to handle. Also, this lightweight watercraft can be carried by one person if needed.

What We Don’t Like About It

Ultimately, the craft is best for slightly choppy currents at best. The tracking quality proves insufficient for taking out into strong currents.
