About the Explorer™ Series
Sea Eagle Explorer Kayak Packages offer exceptional versatility and performance for paddlers. These rugged inflatable kayaks are built tough enough to handle Class IV whitewater while remaining stable, dry, and comfortable on flat water. With four models available, there is an option suited to a wide range of paddling styles and needs.
The Explorers feature an advanced self-bailing system with 16 floor drains that can be left open for rapid drainage during wet whitewater or ocean paddling, or closed to keep the interior high and dry on calmer waters. They also include a removable slide skeg that significantly improves tracking and stability on open water.
Pound for pound, these kayaks are highly capable, offering strong performance across many activities including fishing, touring, camping, exploring, and whitewater adventures. Their durable construction and thoughtful design make them reliable companions for all kinds of water-based adventures.

Key Features
Modular Rigid Drop Stitch Floor Provides Double Protection
The unique modular design of the Sea Eagle Explorer™ features a super rigid, high pressure, drop stitch floor that sits on top of an outside floor. This has several advantages. The high-pressure DS floor provides great rigidity and super responsive paddling performance. The reinforced outside fabric floor provides a double layer of added protection so it can bounce off rocks, logs, and other objects. The modular design allows the DS floor to be easily removed for quick and thorough cleaning.
Large Removable Rear Center Skeg
A nice feature of this design is that the skeg can be removed with the Explorer inflated or deflated. Simply remove it for whitewater and skinny water adventures (eliminating it as an obstruction)and replace it for flat water to reduce yawing (swinging to the right or left). This increases track-ability during long flat-water touring, maximizing efficiency.
