Great kayak for those with small vehicles. Portability was great. Assembly is great taking all of two minutes. Would purchase again.

Greg is nothing less than amazing. The whole company in my opinion is amazing, he responded fast and efficient, and very professional. I love it, and you can trust them to help you out and work with you which is so rare these days.

So far so good

We’ve tried them about 5 times and they work pretty decently, we are up in Maine and it’s definitely a lot nicer being able to carry them in my car. My girlfriend is just learning how to put them together, but I’m getting pretty quick with setting them up

Awesome!

Setup is very intuitive, watched the video once. I've never been kayaking before and this thing is stable enough that I could manage. Beached it a few times, not a scratch. Great fun to just get on the water for an hour when you feel like it, highly recommend.
No idea on the long term durability yet, but no reason to doubt either.

Best adventure tool

I had been wanting a kayak for years but didn't have the room or vehicle to transport one. I recently stumbled onto Tucktec kayaks and I bought one almost immediately. I recently took my kayak out on our first outing. I absolutely love it. My only regret is that I didn't find out about these kayaks years ago!

10ft like new tucktec

This thing is awesome I can take it anywhere not just that in any car as well. I keep this in my Toyota Corolla along with my fishing stuff so I can go at anytime really easy and be setup on the water in less than 10 minutes from unloading it from my car. Really stable for what it is! I am wanting to get 1 to 2 more if they could give me the same deal on this on. I highly recommend it especially if you only have a car as it will fit easily in a trunk or backseat. Folds out to be big enough to hold a lot especially if you pack it right

Nice Kayak!

Once you get the setup steps down, very easy to get out on the water! Paddles like a dream. Glides well without having to constantly paddle. Made in the same town where I went to college years ago! A great product!

Tucktec Folding Kayak

Great engineering, light weight, throw it in the back of your car so no need for a roof rack. Set up and take down takes about 3 mins. when you are used to doing it.

Love it!

I love the Tucktec Boto. It is light weight, stable, and really easy to transport. The initial assembly took some time to figure out, but once accomplished was simple to repeat. This is a great purchase, and well worth the price. I highly recommend the Boto!

Love this Kayak !

This is a great Kayak for anyone that just want something that is very portable, fast and easy to setup and deploy. I keep it in my truck so when ever I find the need to go fishing on just be on the water, I can pull over and be in the water in just minutes. No having to pull a trailer to get my Jon Boat or non foldable kayak. I'm impressed with the build quality and warranty. I'm also thinking of getting another one for my Son.

Wonderful!!

The family just tried out the kayak. Easy set up, great tracking- a lot of fun!!! Debated for years on getting a kayak, but stopped because of storage and transporting it-so glad that I found this company, so glad it is made in the U.S.A. Thank you for this product!

Best Tucktec so far!

This 2024 version is my fourth Tucktec and my favorite by far. I had 2 of the original 2019, and one 2022 version. I didn't need a new kayak but decided to buy because of the 20lbs weight. This new version is really easy for me to put together and transport on my own. With the previous version, it was totally possible but way more of a workout before getting the actual workout on the water. The kayak also track very well on the water compare to the 2019 version. In summary, this new one is a breeze to transport down the stair to the car (and back) and is very easy to set up even when I am by myself.

They work great!!!

I received both kayaks super fast and learned how to fold them by watching the video several times. Once I got the hang of it, I showed my son how to do it, and then we went out on a lake. They worked great! It’s amazing that they can BOTH fit in the back of my little car! So excited to take them out again soon!!!
