Q: I recently purchased 2 8 ft sit on top emotion spitfire kayaks. Yesterday, I took one of them out for the first time. Even in relatively calm lake and river water, the kayak was very sensitive to the slightest breeze or tiniest current, and it veered heavily to the left. If I put my patties down to take a photo, my kayak would turn 180 degrees. It was extremely frustrating and embarrassing. I would like to return my kayaks and replace them with another model that you can recommend. Is it possible to return the kayaks? Sincerely, Marilyn H

Asked by: Marilyn - 8/11/2018
A: We are sorry to hear that the kayaks did not perform the way you are expecting. The kayak that I have used the most is the 90105, which is the same as the 90112 I have not had a problem with it. Fortunately these Lifetime items currently have a 30 day free return policy, just send us an email at [email protected], or call us at 866-308-5484 so that we can get you taken care of.

Small Boat, Big Fun!
My dad gave me my boat back in 2012, and I’ve loved every minute of it! It fits perfectly inside my Honda Element, so I can take it along on trips, and I use it all the time. It’s such a great starter boat—I feel totally comfortable letting friends and family try it out. I recently needed to replace the drain plug, impressive 14 years with only one part needing replace! The customer rep was super helpful and got my new part on its way, so I’m all set for another summer of adventures. The photo is from last summer when I had to rescue someone who was getting blown away on a paddleboard. Even though I’m at the top of the weight limit for the boat, it handles really well, even in choppy or windy conditions.

Excellent Customer Service
Purchased 2 kayaks from Academy Sports. After using them the first time, I noticed my wife’s was missing the seat back cushion. Talked to management and they told me to go to Lifetime website and fill out form for replacement. I used the live chat and the associate took my info and processed the return order. Easy process!

Awesome Company!!
I bought a 8ft lifetime kayak for my daughters birthday (larger one, she grew out of her lifetime kid kayak) and only a display kayak was available, except a hook plug was missing for attaching the seat (water was getting into the inner kayak). . I went online and sent an email explaining, they were nice and let me know they were sending me a replacement with no extra charge to me. buying from lifetime has been the best decision I've ever made!! I will continue to buy their kayaks and send my family and friends to them . . seriously a exceptional company!!

Comfortable, Easy To Transport, Fun
My husband and I both purchased Lifetime kayaks a few years ago. We have enjoyed many hours of paddling in our nearby marina. Additionally, due to storage limitations at home they have been store outdoors. The colors of both have remained vivid, never fading. Kudos to customer service as well, replacement of a strap buckle was easy and set to arrive in about 4 days. Outstanding!

Love My Kayak
I bought a Spitfire 8 several years ago and love it. Wouldn’t change it for any other kayak. Recently the seat broke where it is attached to the kayak. Where can I buy a replacement seat?

What A Great Boat - So Fun And Portable
I had a broken strap the holds the seat up. I contacted the company to see if they could help me find a replacement. Guess what? They had one in stock and sent it to me for free! What great customer service. I loved my kayak before, and now I love the company! Thanks!
