This solo kayak is a premium choice for those of us who love to tour and explore. The Chelan 120 Inflatable Kayak handles waves and rough water with ease thanks to its bow rocker and rigid construction, but its versatile shape comfortably performs in rivers and flat water. With a spacious open cockpit and seemingly endless organization options, this craft is ideal for cruising for full days, no matter where the waves take us.

Chelan 120
Great kayak for myself and my dog, easy to set up carry and manoeuvre in the water.

Great inflatable
Great boat for what it is. It's easy to paddle; glides as good as you'd expect; feels a little raft like, which is inherent with this style of boat. Was delivered today and took it on a 4 mile paddle, it's much slower than my fiberglass touring kayaks, but this is a better exercise platform and you don't have to worry about racks or storage. Biggest complaint is the skeg. Can't AG just include the press fit version the sell on their website? Or maybe use the US style fin mount that already has the captive nut in it? Carrying/storage bag is very generous and enough space to carry my pfd, electric pump, and some other things. Love the ability to strap paddle to the bag as well, keeps your hands free wile transporting.

Best single person inflatable kayak
Bought this kayak 2 years and exceeds my expectations. I use an electric pump and it inflates in 3 minutes. Very comfortable. Tracks very well and it is fast. I am always the fastest kayak on the water.

Terrific kayak‼️
This kayak is sleek, efficient and fast on the water. It rides up and over waves and chop- doesn’t plow through the water. Very stable, maneuverable and super comfortable seat with great back support. I’m so happy I bought this.

Chelan 120
Gotten the Chelan 120 about 1 week ago and was able to bring it to the waters for some fun. The inflating and deflating setup is pretty simple. The only hassle was the removing of the skeg. It is always unavoidable to have sand or stones stuck in the small space of the skeg slider. This has caused me some trouble to remove the skeg after my paddling. Would strongly suggest to accompany the package with a small mallot for ease of removal. An improvised version of the skeg also also help.

Chelan. Needs work.
Does not handle well when using no skeg. Needs a bit of hard plastic in the front and back like on the NRS Star Paragon. Also, get rid of the keel. And make the drain holes not dip downwards of the hull. This interferes with the kayaks navigation, and is especially bad when not using the skeg. I tried riding backwards, to use the front keel as a skeg, but the drain holes still interfered with the steering when going skeg free. Not a good kayak for shallow rivers, as such. I like that they weld the seams though.

Glide per stroke.
It is just as advertised. I would have liked more glide per stroke.

Great kayak--bag could be better, however
I love the Chelan--I prefer its performance to the Deschutes. The DS floor helps it track well. It's great! I do feel it's a little heavy. If the bag had a solid bottom and some wheels, which would help me get the kayak to my car, I'd give it 5 stars.

Owner review
I like to give it a 5 star ratings but it has minor shortcomings. First the positive, it has 3 Halkey-Roberts valves to pump up the kayak, no more changing to different valves. It is comfortable and glide nice. It is easy to store and clean. Now the shortcomings. My first kayak, the Navarro had loops on the side to attach your paddles that is missing with the Chelan120, the skag is a little cumbersom to attach, (did I drop that pin again). I got stuck in shallow water because the skag hit some rocks. The Chelan 120 has also a mount for stuff. I wish Aquaglide provides more info what you can buy and what brands will fit the mount. I like to get a camara stick mounted inside the kayak but have no clue what to buy. Aquaglide is also a responsive company if you need warrany service
