The Intex Dakota Quest kayak is a one-person sit-on-top inflatable built for solo paddlers and anglers. Once inflated to 0.83 bar, the drop-stitch construction gives it a near-rigid feel on the water. It holds up to 160kg and measures 3.2m long by 89cm wide when fully inflated.
It comes with a dual-action pump, a 2.18m paddle, an adjustable seat and a removable skeg for straight tracking. Two rod holders and a phone mount make it useful for fishing trips as well as casual paddling.
Everything packs down into an oxford fabric backpack that fits in a car boot. A repair patch kit is also included for peace of mind. The kayak carries a 3 year warranty from Intex.
Most reviewers report inflation takes between 10 and 20 minutes using the included dual-action pump. The kayak body and floor insert are inflated separately. The pump has both double-action and single-action settings, with single-action making it easier to reach the recommended 12psi (0.83 bar) once you get past around 5-6psi.
The Dakota Quest has a maximum load capacity of 160kg. This includes the paddler's weight plus any gear, fishing equipment or accessories brought along on the trip.
Yes. An 86-inch (2.18m) aluminium paddle with plastic blades is included. Some reviewers note it feels a bit heavy for extended paddling sessions and suggest a lighter paddle as an upgrade if you paddle often.
The kayak includes a collapsible, padded back support seat that attaches to metal D-rings and adjusts forward or back. Reviewers describe it as supportive enough for hours on the water without excessive fatigue. Taller paddlers (over 6ft) may find the footrest positions limit legroom.
A fabric patch kit is included in the box. You will need contact cement separately, as this is not supplied, but it's widely available at hardware shops or online.
Once deflated the kayak folds into an oxford fabric backpack. This fits into a standard car boot or the bed of a pickup truck. Some reviewers note the fully packed bag can be heavy, so factor this in if you need to carry it any distance from your car.
Yes, thanks to the large removable skeg fitted to the underside. Reviewers say this helps it run straighter than many inflatables, especially in windy conditions. Remove the skeg in shallow water to avoid damage from rocks or sandbars.
Yes. It comes with two removable fishing rod holders and a phone or action camera mount, both positioned within reach but clear of the main paddling area. The stable wide base also helps when casting or reeling in from a sitting position.
