I'm a 50ish year old woman, so the weight is important. However, keep in mind that even though it’s usable on multiple types of water, it doesn’t excel much on any.
Tracking was poor.
This kayak is not very stable, and it is not very good maneuvering through tight turns and twists, especially when there is a current. It is 10 foot long and only weights 40 pounds. Not sure how. Yes, it was unstable the very first 10 mins of being on it before I got use to it. Storage is maxed out at 250 lbs., with the storage options being the covered storage compartment behind the seat and a bit of room for gear around your feet. Very stable and easy to maneuver. It’s rugged and light weight and durable enough to go almost anywhere. This touring kayak will keep you comfortable while you’re out on the water.
I use padding on the seat since anything more than 2 hours becomes uncomfortable. Save your dough,buy this and spend it on the best paddle you can afford. This boat is great for the gentle, relaxing rivers and creeks one would take to enjoy a sunny day or gaze upon the diverse flora, fauna and wildlife you can find in any given river route. Great performance for the price – I have used it on a small lake with winds of 10-15 mph. This is my 1st kayak & I love it. Durable – Despite being a very inexpensive kayak, the Aruba 10 is incredibly durable being made out of Fortiflex® which is a high density polyethylene.That means it’s solid and can take a good knock without getting damaged. I personally used it recently and liked that. cheap, rubber stoppers for drain plugs. I immediately noticed that it had a rather short cockpit compared to its competitors. This is my first kayak and… – This is my first kayak and I was very pleased with its stability and ease of use. We were skeptical, but then impressed by the Aruba 10's ease of transport and its respectable tracking and maneuverability. I found out it was very unstable! I bought one of these at Dunham's last year- Love it! I have never tipped but probably only because I am very careful as it feels very unstable. and there were many moments when I scraped rocks on the bottom of the river.

They feel a little wobbly probably because of length.
I can manage loading and unloading it easily because it's so light and there are strategic gripping points.
FOR THE MONEY I PAID… – FOR THE MONEY I PAID (important semi-disclaimer). This is an excellent… – This is an excellent beginner kayak for mild water, lake or pond paddling. Plenty short enough to fit in my mini SUV, saving buying 100'$ of dollar$ of roof adapters/carriers. My partner and I are… – My partner and I are beginners to kayaking. GREAT quality and price! Have since purchased 2 of the Aruba Sea dolphin 10′. It performs well for a recreational yak. However, be warned; I fell out my first time and nearly flipped the second time using it as well.
– We like the kayak and the price !!! We have two of these kayaks, blue and red. The Sun Dolphin Aruba is a… – The Sun Dolphin Aruba is a great beginner level Kayak I use mine for creeks and small rivers, and the local lake. Although it is a little long for my car (inside) it does fit with the mesh. I took the Aruba 8 sit in kayak out to my local lake (Big Fish Lake, Ortonville MI) on Memorial Day 2016 after purchasing it for $138 (175 with paddle) Very impressed with the overall control of the kayak.
It. But the Sundolphin Aruba 10 breaks the stereotype of the rec boat wide open by providing all types of paddlers with an easy to use boat that provides a great paddling experience at a reasonable price. The choice of material is also good as far as weight is concerned, since the entire kayak weighs in the vicinity of 40 lbs., meaning you can carry it from your vehicle to the water, as well as launch it with ease. I was looking for a good… – I was looking for a good beginner kayak since I’ve wanted to try it without spending a lot of money just in case I didn’t like it.
It is not at all stable. Actually all sit-in sun dolphins are dangerous.
Pleasantly surprised – I am a kayak fisherman and have a couple of high end fishing kayaks. I had to concentrate to ensure that I don't make a sudden movement either to the right or the left as I know for sure that it will tip. Low-cost basic kayak for a… – Low-cost basic kayak for a little fun.
