Fly fishermans review
I have been out on the water a few times so far. Over all its a good little boat and fits my needs.Pros: fast set up, tracks well, comfortable for long periods of time and moves along at a good speed while rowing.Cons: Not stable enough to stand and fly fish, you can stand up but there is a lot of movement in the floor, have to really pay attention to your balance.Oars move around a ton, have to find the sweet spot over again every time you start to row. Oars hit the storange pouches at times, meaning you can’t have drinks in the cup holders while rowing. One oar lock is noisy while rowing. No place to attach a anchor. Rod holders are useless for fly rods, making it difficult to carry more than one rod.Not being able to stand up and cast is my biggest complaint, that was one of the features that I was really looking forward to based on the marketing. The saving grace is that it is such a comfy boat, sitting for long periods isn’t a issue.

CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
Overall the boat serves the purpose, portable, easy to transport, easy to inflate, stable enough for fishing, 4 stars and 5 stars if you include customer service. What I would like different, the front, side storage areas would be better further back, as in 4 of the 5 pictures and have the zippers open going away from you so you don’t have to open completely to find something. Get a kayak paddle. Did I mention their customer service! I won’t bore you with details, but if you have ANY issues or problems with the boat, they will correct over the phone, no waiting, no BS, just correct the problem and you are on your way. Happy fishing.

Tough but compact
A bit difficult to row. Small boat long oars Not for a big guy or galVery stable. Durable. Glides nicely across water if you row it right. Comfy and fun. Floor board is important if you want to stand.

The thought of everything!
My husband was so excited to receive this for Father’s Day! He is a national sales director for a all things water apparel company called What The Fin.He stated that the designers Thought of just about everything when making this. I would certainly recommend this item to others as he states it is very durable, easy to set up and easy to pack back in the backpack.

Well made, but no motor mount option
Well made overall, except for valves not lined up with holes on exterior fabrics. I noticed air loss in seat after use, but can’t find leak. Nice design. No motor mount available from manufacturer, so I had to make my own.

No oar locks
This boat does not have oar locks. I think if I would have bought the more expensive model, it may have come with oar locks. The picture shows the oar fitting through the plastic handle, which it does not. And apparently you can’t return this item. Don’t buy this boat!!!!

Leaks
I’m placing this review on Amazon because Sea Eagle apparently wouldn’t allow me to leave a negative review on their website (I tried and it never showed up). I purchased a Pack Fish in May 2019, then used it 10-12 times. By spring 2020 it had developed at least 2 leaks, one internally between the 2 air chambers, one externally where a seam split in the bladder. Several seams in the fabric/plastic casing also came unglued. I made a warranty claim to Sea Eagle, first through the website which received no response, then in May 2020 by email. In July 2020 I finally got a phone call back from Sea Eagle (maybe delayed by Covid); I sent some followup info. Finally heard back in August, and they replaced the boat. This new boat developed a slow leak at some point. I could be on the water for 1-2 hours, then would need to repump it. Also as the tubes got lower, water would come in, apparently thru the zipper. So use was limited. Used it 10-12 times/year in subsequent years. Then a couple weeks ago (July 2022), after using it a few times over a couple weeks, several seams in the casing came unglued majorly, allowing water in, so its out of commission. I’m giving up on it and getting something more reliable. Can’t recommend it unless they improve the quality.The Pack Fish is a good concept but design and construction are flawed. First the leaks- the greatest design in a boat is useless if it leaks. They don’t seem to make any provision for being able to repair these, as makers of whitewater rafts do. Then the combination oarlocks/carry handles don’t work well as either- too small to get my hands in for carrying (had to tie on pieces of nylon webbing), difficult to get the oars thru and limiting the range of motion of the oars, and putting the oars at an angle that interferes with fly casting. They’re also situated in a bad, and inflexible, position for rowing, making rowing rather miserable. I liked the idea of being able to stand in it, but this is marginal- its a little too small & unstable for standing except in completely still water. I had hoped to be able to pack it in a mile or 2 to remote lakes, but its a bit too heavy and awkward for this.

new model not worth the money
This boat failed after 3 uses with the outer seams failing. The model shown in the top picture is the new design version they are selling. This versions is considerably cheapened from the original version. I’ve had both and both failed. At least the original lasted two years.

the ring mechanisms that are used to keep the valves attached are pretty flimsy. Even after following their instructions on warming …
I bought this boat through Sea Eagle. IMO, it has a couple of design flaws. First, even though I followed the instructions in the video on centering the valves, I am not able to inflate the boat and get both valves centered. Consequently, even though I tighten them all the way, they both leak. I have used the boat four times, and by the end of each float the inner bladder is nearly empty. During my last float both bladders lost a substantial amount of air. I therefore have to carry the pump with me, which takes up quite a bit of room. Second, the oar grips are not fastened to the handles. As a result, the grips bunch up while rowing and jam in the oar locks. Finally, the ring mechanisms that are used to keep the valves attached are pretty flimsy. Even after following their instructions on warming the rings, one of them broke when I first attempted to attached it to the valve. I am returning this boat.

Rugged little fishing raft
This is a review for the current modelThe only real con is that the ore locks could be improved. They slip and slide all over through the holder, especially when wet.Outside of that small issue, this is a great fishing raft. It moves swiftly from spot to spot with the ores. Its not huge, but as long as you pack lightly there is plenty of room to fish.Plenty of pockets for storage on the raft.Very stable.Very rugged. I have dragged it all over and bumped into all kinds of stuff and holding up fine.Takes less than 10 minutes to set up, fits in my 4 door sedan trunk with plenty of room to spare.Impressed with sea eagle products and will be buying the stealth stalker for next year.

Great One-Person Fishing Raft – Dreaming of a Better Pack
Looked around a lot for an upgrade to my previous toy. The Packfish 7 one-person raft fit the bill nicely. A step up in price from the tier of basic rafts, but far cheaper than some really serious boats. For my purposes, a great value. Very sturdy, a tough nylon cover above, and a tough, thick vinyl floor. I’ve used it for spring trout fishing 3 times so far this year. Heavy-duty foot pump inflates everything quickly. Much easier to get into and out of than my toy. I was surprised that I didn’t have to crawl out – I could partially stand, even without the hard floor, and the raft was quite stable. I’ve had to force myself (carefully) over shallow obstacles – no damage. High sides, very comfortable and stable in the water. The seat is a real comfort – though I wish the bottom were extended forward a little more and sloped down toward the back a little, to make it harder to slide forward. The tracking bars work really well to keep you steady in the wind. The built-in cargo compartments are nice to have – but because they’re under your elbows, they make rowing a little awkward. Not a big problem, but I do a lot of trolling, so I notice. With space at a premium, probably hard to find a better place. Maybe they could go amidships on the inside?As I write with aching shoulders from yesterday’s 6-mile round trip, I’m aware that my biggest issue is packability. I want to use the raft on ponds at the end of wilderness foot trails. The raft with pump and oars weighs about 32 pounds. It packs into a zippered bag with basic shoulder straps – no waist belt. The bag only barely fits the raft, seat, paddles and pump, so I have to carry all my other gear in a duffle bag. Because the major (only?) reason to use a raft instead of a hard-body boat is packability, the pack provided is the limiting factor. It could greatly benefit from the addition of features I enjoy on my hiking backpack, like padded straps and a wide padded waist belt. Without those, I’m not likely to venture more than a mile or two from the car. Also, while there is a large zippered compartment on the outside, it’s flush with the pack, so it can’t hold much. With the large size of the pack, if the back compartment had a third dimension – extending outward, it would have a lot more usable storage space. Maybe an upgraded pack could be added as an option?Finally, getting the raft back into the pack in the wild has been a challenge. After my first trip, it was a little under 40 degrees when I started the deflation and folding process. In the cold, the heavy vinyl was a real bear to wrestle and fold down to a size that would fit into the pack. I will say though that after studying the guide and having gone through the packing-unpacking process 3 times, it seems to be getting easier. It feels as if folding it down a few times is limbering it up. And I’m sure it will be easier in warmer weather. I don’t really want to complain too much about this. The difficulty has a lot to do with the quality of the raft and knowing what to do.

HANDS DOWN BEST $$ SPENT!
I took the Packfish for its Maiden Voyage this weekend in Eastern WA. It takes me about 5 minutes to assemble and ready to walk to water.My daughter is 13 almost and she is about 4’5” and I am 5’4”While it is a bit tight navigating while rowing, we both fit comfortably and have a blastsMy 5 year son fits perfectly and I can stretch my legs out for rowing ease. When I rowed with my daughter I would prop my legs up on the sides of the boat and my feet would be ok either side of her head lol. Sounds silly but it’s really not.It is nimble, turns on a dime, and can row against wind quite well.The oar locks could use improving; as they can slide up and down periodically altering the desired position I want. Minor whining.Hands down the best money I’ve spent since my grandfather passed last February, a lot of my families fishing died with him.I can now go by myself after years of not fishing and both my children can enjoy it with me for quite some time.Do not hesitate to buy this. It’s so easy to pack away. Hard to figure out the folding at first, but once you’ve done it, it’s like riding a bike.Fit perfectly on the back of my Kodiak I’m between trips with the kids from lake to camp.BUY IT!!!!!For reference I am 140lbs and my daughter is 110lbs we fit perfectly.

Don’t buy
If your 6ft, you will not be comfortable at all, you’ll feel very cramped. Not a lot of room to change lures or bait. The valves aren’t centered at all, when I got it and inflated it, I found out that I had to take out the pontoon and reposition it. Also the oars are not easy to use because they don’t stay in the parking locks very well and will eventually scruntch up the handles. In my opinion this is NOT worth the money. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

Great boat, when it’s not broken…
I’ve taken the boat out 3 times so far and I love it! It’s light, extremely portable, and very easy to pack and unpack. I’ve caught my limit every time I’ve been out on the packfish so far.I do have some issues however; the grips on the oars shift around too easily, making rowing difficult at times. The d rings on the bottom are not very strong, I attached a strap to them and lifted it totally unloaded, took 4 steps and one set of rings ripped right out. My third trip out on the packfish, one of my oar locks just broke off in the middle of the lake, which made rowing back to the dock absolutely miserable and was quite embarrassing.I hope Sea Eagle will help me out and make things right. For now, I’ll leave 3 stars.Update: Customer service from Sea Eagle has been terrible. I have been able to reach them by phone during their business hours, 1 of 5 times. The one time I spoke to them, they told me I needed to send an e-mail to their wholesale department (why does Customer Service tell me to contact the wholesale department for CUSTOMER SERVICE?), so I did. They claim to respond within 48 hours, though it’s been two weeks for me. My boat is still unusable.Update #2: I finally got a response from Sea Eagle, they went above and beyond to get me back on the water.

Be sure to have kayak Orr’s close by
The boat itself is very well made with quality materials it tracks well rides high in the water and is overall very comfortableNow the bad the loops that the Orr’s go through are a very cheap hard plastic and they broke the first time out forcing me to use an old kayak Orr I had and I know by reading other reviews I’m not the only one with this issueI have sent an email to the company expressing my displeasureWould I purchase again probably not I’d look for other options

Tracks well and has opened up so much water!
Really like this as a kayak alternative! It’s smaller and can go in my back seat or even toolbox. I’ve had no issues and really like the ability to drift a river and steer by lightly adjusting one oar, just like a standard drift boat. Compared to a $2,000 kayak this is very worth it! Tracks well, packs well, fishes well, and offers great features. I’ve made a box that fits under the seat so I have extra storage. Also built a PVC handle/stripping basket that sticks through the front rod holders so I can stand up and cast. Overall, excellent little boat.

Ultra Portable Opportunity!
So…. I wanted something I could set up quickly and access remote, or not so remote, lakes, ponds or rivers. I’ve done the kayak thing. Kayaks are not as convenient and lack the stability I truly wanted.At this price point I was pleasantly surprised. I used the included bellows pump to inflate it and honestly, was surprised at how few pumps it actually took to inflate both bladders. Took about 10 minutes, taking my time in my house, to get it fully inflated and ready for action.Breakdown and storage in the included backpack was equally (surprisingly) simple. About 15 minutes as it was my first time.On the water, I took too much with me. I’m 6’ and 200lbs. With the seat installed, my feet were at the end of the boat. Wedging them between the rod holders was a bit awkward. I simply took too much with me. Also, the two side (orange) storage containers are roomy, but more to follow….The bellows, foot pump had to be stored in one of the tackle containers (orange storage on the gunwale). The backpack did not fit easily into the storage behind the seat, so that went into the other gunwale storage.Overall, once I got the oars measured to where they were comfortable (they are a bit awkward to use, but not crazy), the boat tracked perfectly. It held its place in the water well with a moderate breeze thanks to the tracking pieces on the hull.This is a one rod, light tackle boat, at least for a 6’ stud trying to fish LOL. So a shorter person will definitely have a different experience, but I think this can work for taller people too. Much taller than 6’ though and your knees might interfere with rowing.The key is to maximize the limited space you have.I was on the water just trying it out for the first time and was comfortably suffering for about 2.5 hours, which could have been longer if I wanted to. It wasn’t bad at all with too much gear. Can’t wait until next time with a streamlined gear set!Buy with confidence and you don’t need an electric pump for this boat. It’s easily inflated with the foot pump.Breakdown was super simple and took about 10 minutes total to get everything back in the pack.Happy fishing!!

Inflates quickly.
This is the first fishing raft I have owned. I inflated the raft and seat in less than 5 minutes. Once I got used to using the oars the raft moved along at a steady pace. One complaint I have is the oars are a little hard to get through the oars locks, especially when the weather is cold. Storage bag could be a little bigger, as its a little difficult getting the raft in.

Get it.
If you are on the fence about getting the packfish, just do yourself a favor and get it! I love this thing. Plenty of room and storage . The seat is really comfortable, but if it happens to be too rigid for you? No problem, just let some air out to your liking. It’s also not attached to the boat so if you happen to fall out it could be an option to grab onto. That being said, it feels absolutely stable in the water. Leaning one way or the other won’t affect you. I have the one with the rigid floorboard and would suggest you get it as well. Some of the videos I’ve seen show folks standing and fishing in the boat but I haven’t done that. More than comfortable sitting down. The oars stay out of the way and once you find your rythym you can get going! And it all packs up into a backpack. Watch the sea eagle video on youtube. Love this boat, and I managed to snag my first cutthroat in Colorado on it. Was it because of the boat? Probably not, but why take the chance! Get it, and good luck in the water

the picture is misleading. the oars stick out of the back pack by about a foot. this is a slight issue because the zipper has a tendency to open on that side

Superb, sturdy fishing machine
I am a 76-year old retired engineer, who appreciates a well thought out product. I am so pleased with this boat and cannot wait until Spring. I bought this was some reservations, but they are now all put aside.PROS: The Sea Eagle has an tough exterior skin, separate from the air bladders, thus providing protection against punctures. The bladders can be removed should a puncture occur. I worried that the bow might ride up, since the fisherman sits well to the rear; however, the rear tube is enlarged to proved more rear flotation, so this should not be a problem. I thought I would keep my gear in my creel, so avoid clutter. The built-in storage is more than adequate for hours of fishing, so all my supplies can be be carried stowed, with no need for a creel. Incidentally, I had two storage bins that just fit the two compartments located on the top; without the plastic bins, the storage bags collapse and it is not easy to access them, but with the bins it they are superb. I plan to carry a spare fishing rod strapped to the side with the provided Velcro straps. I will use one of the vertical rod holders for my pole, and the other for my fishing net. I got the model with a rigid floor insert; It is clear to me that without the floor it would be difficult to move around without (eventually) doing damage.CONS:The first time you assemble the Sea Eagle, expect some difficulties. The bladders were not well aligned and required some manipulation to orient the filling spouts. I had to completely remove the bladders in the seat — they had been crammed in with no regard to orientation. This added some time on my garage floor, but would be much worse if done in the field. The plastic oar locks were compressed in packaging and shipping, so the oars did not fit; I used a heat gun to reshape them. As stated above, the storage compartments are nor rigid, so I inserted plastic storage bins. I have only to remove them when folding the boat. There is no provision for attaching a rope for an anchor or for securing to a landing, etc. I will use the carry handles, but some kind of metal loop would be nicer. The two storage compartments have female Velcro strips, but without the male equivalent. I added male strips from my wife’s sewing box; now they are perfect for holding things (such as needle-hose pliers) that need to be accessed quickly.SUMMARY: I am looking forward to a Spring and Summer of fishing from my new contraption. I think that once at a camping site I will be able to carry it in the 6-foot bed of my truck and shell by partially deflating the main chambers, but leaving everything else attached. (where I plan on fishing has a plethora of lakes and ponds, so I will be rotating among them daily for two months). I will be using a new lobster bag for my catch, secured over the side with straps (to avoid chaffing). If I find any surprises, I will update my review.
