Built for Big Adventures and Extra Gear
The Sea Eagle 420x Explorer Inflatable Kayak is designed for paddlers who need more space, whether it’s for multi-day camping trips, overnight adventures, or extra storage on long journeys. With room to carry plenty of gear and still paddle comfortably, the 420x is perfect for explorers who want to take their passion beyond day trips. Built tough enough for whitewater rapids yet stable and dry on flat water, this kayak delivers the confidence to go further, stay longer, and do more.
Rugged Durability Meets Superior Performance
Crafted with reinforced 1000 Denier material, the 420x is made to handle the toughest challenges nature can throw at it. Sixteen rapid self-bailing floor drains keep you prepared for ocean surf or river rapids and can be sealed shut for calm, dry-water paddling. A removable slide skeg enhances tracking and control on lakes, bays, and open water, giving you smooth, efficient strokes every time. Large enough to hold two adults plus gear, yet portable enough to pack in your car trunk, this kayak is built for durability without sacrificing convenience.

From fishing and touring to camping and exploring, the 420x Explorer does it all. Whether you’re charging through Class IV rapids, loading up for a weekend camping trip, or enjoying a quiet paddle on the lake, this kayak is versatile enough to meet every need. Its stability makes it accessible to beginners, while its performance satisfies experienced paddlers. With Sea Eagle’s trusted inflatable design since 1968, the 420x isn’t just a kayak—it’s your ticket to unforgettable adventures on any water.

Key Features
Modular Rigid Drop Stitch Floor Provides Double Protection
The high-pressure drop-stitch 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.
16 Rapid Self – Bailing Easy To Open & Shut Drain Valves
When the 16 rapid self-bailing drain valves are open, you are sure to drain off water as quickly as it enters! With the drain valves closed you are certain to remain high and dry when paddling on flat waters such as lakes, bays and other bodies of water.

We can’t wait to get in the water with our new kayak! We did upgrade and purchase the electric pump and studier seats so set up was pretty easy! Since we live in PA it is still too cold to get in the water. We will be sure to post pictures when we head out on our first adventure.
