Approximately two years ago I purchased my first kayak. After doing some research on the matter, I selected the Brooklyn 9.0 Single (FK184) Fishing Kayak. Even though it was advertised as a fishing kayak, I was mainly interested in obtaining a quality kayak than could fit vertically in my garage. To my surprise, this 9-foot fishing model has turned out to be excellent for just kayaking. The FK194 is wider than most kayaks I was looking at, and as a result, it is very stable in rough waters. Its wide width so helps getting in and out of the kayak. The removable seat is fully adjustable and very comfortable to sit in. There are several recess holders for fishing poles located on each side of the kayak and one fishing pole holder located in the center of the boat. Each recess holder has a rubber cover to keep water out when not in use. While a nice feature, the rubber covers should be held in place better. I glued each of mine down because they kept flopping out whenever a turned my kayak over. There were two problems I had with my first FK184. The first was a belt on the removable seat that was tearing into the back of the seat. The second just recently happen when one of the heads of the paddle broke off near its base. In both instances BKC quickly replaced each item with no cost to me (Including shipping charges). As a result of how easy it is to use this kayak, its overall stability and BKC replacement policy, I purchased a second FK184 earlier this year so that a friend could join me while I kayaked. I am extremely pleased with both purchases and highly recommend this model for anyone looking for a quality kayak. You can also fish from it. read more

Have used this kayak a few times now with make shift stadium seats from Dicks Sporting Goods I had to go back and look - did these guys used to work at home depot? Not bad if you want a bath tub, which by the way, for a huck finn adventure isn't a bad idea. Still, we aren't on the mississippi. I was imagining some design related to boats would be included in the manufacture of this tub. Let's set aside that they have multiple hardware components that don't have any explanation for their use or purpose, or matching components that would fit and work with them. huh? yeah, no idea, but when you buy one you'll see its random, like perhaps a cabinet maker was on the design team. But wouldn't a boat have, balance? The first worrying clue, the handle to carry the kayak isn't in the middle of the boat, so when you pick it up by yourself, it tips forward. uh oh. and yes, when two adults ride in it, the weight of the kayak is too far forward. and the nose of the kayak ploughs through the water like a Rhinoceros in Wakanda fighting the W'Kabi. They advertise the boat as being good for three, well, why not have a third seat option? nope, but that's ok, we had to buy all the seats from Dicks Sporting Goods any ways, (noticed some really nice kayaks there too) But the balance problems get worse, not only are the seats in the wrong place for two adults, they're unadjustable. It's hopeless to push the seat in the back, back or space things out for a third, and god forbid, you want, as they advertise is possible, to go solo. anyway, a single star? I say a five star bathtub. read more

I ordered the Brooklyn 10.0 Single Pedal Kayak and it is my first pedal drive kayak. This company has sales for almost every major holiday, so you are bound to get a great deal. The kayak is a game changer when fishing because you are able to use both hands while still moving. The kayak that I got is a flipper drive and it cannot go in reverse, but there is a backup paddle (not include) with an elastic strap right on the side of the kayak for convenient access. I had an issue with the flipper drive being somewhat damaged after a couple of uses. I emailed the company and within five minutes they got back to me. They wanted pictures of the damage, and in the next message, less than an hour later, I see a notification that said order placed. They had already ordered a completely new pedal drive for free because it was covered under the warranty. Overall, the prices and customer service really sets this company apart from many other big names. read more

I ordered my BKC PK11 back in May of this year expecting a 6 week wait for delivery, it arrived only 8 days after I ordered it . It did however arrive wi the wrong drive system. I reached out to Issac at BKC & he quickly sent me a return label & I received the correct drive unit 2 days later . I've only been out in this kayak twice but am super happy with my purchase. this yak is super comfortable ( I've had 2 back surgeries ) & was able to be out all day with no issues at all . it's also very stable & easy to maneuver. If your looking for a great pedal drive kayak that doesn't break the bank. I would highly recommend BKC kayaks & Issac is the best customer service representative I've had in a long time ! Thanks BKC for making a great affordable product read more

So far the experience has been great I've had to contact them a few times for a few little replacement parts here and there and I mean I understand that can be a drag a little bit waiting to things to get fixed but what you really want out of a company is a company that can take care of the items that may need help or may need fixing and a short period of time instead of waiting 6 weeks and they do that My kayak can hold a 30 lb battery and a 250 lb man it's rated for 450 lb and it stays flat in the water I've been able to put on a fish finder rod holders I can carry my backpack my fishing gear the only thing that I need to do now is put my trolling motor on and I'm pretty sure it would still stay flat Thank you Brooklyn kayak company read more

Brooklyn Kayak Company! Who would have thought that a city based Kayak Company would have the most fun and feature filled kayaks at an affordable price. We bought two of the new 12 foot peddle models. Delivery was free and fast and the customer service was amazing. Isaac helped us choose the right kayak based on our experience and answered all of our questions. We took them out on the river the first day and had an absolute blast just getting to know how everything worked. They are stable, roomy and have built ins that most companies charge extra for like rod holders, rails, storage and even a cup holder. We would highly recommend talking to BKC for your Kayak needs. They truly care about the customer! read more

I recently received my Brooklyn 9.0 single modular kayak and am very impressed with the quality, stability and performance. Just as impressive has been the level of customer service. I have sent numerous emails and every one was answered quickly and thoroughly. Being a senior approaching 70, I was looking for a lighter and more flexible kayak I could keep in my Ram Promaster camper van. Over the past decade I have been a loyal Feelfree kayak owner but was finding the kayak getting more difficult to handle and transport. This Brooklyn Kayak has answered the call! So happy I can store it in my camper and not worry about it. read more

Brooklyn Kayak has been a joy to work with. I have had my PDL10 Kayak for over a year, and use it constantly. I even had an issue that Brooklyn promptly took care of with a replacement. You can find my reviews on YouTube for a more in depth review. As critical as I am, I love the kayak. Super stable, quick, and able to handle some very rough wind and chop with ease. Please sell a drive plug(cassette) Brooklyn!! Having a plug in when the drive isn't in makes a world of difference, and people would buy it. One additional note: Be sure to deliver your kayak somewhere you know someone will reliably be available. read more

I bought my kayak used several years ago from a private party, but have replaced parts through Brooklyn directly. Bought some new chairs a couple of years ago and one of the reclining straps broke. I reached out to support, they had me take a couple of pictures, and within a couple of days I had new straps at no cost. Thank for the continued support! Even though you could easily charge for something like this (and I would willing pay); it's these small things that make customers for life. I will always recommend Brooklyn Kayaks. read more

Brooklyn kayak company has introduced me to my kayaking experience and I absolutely trust their products! My wife and I recently relocated to Austin, Tx and discovered the kayak scene here! very interested her and I decided to purchase the tandem kayak for the both of us! We absolutely love our water vessel as it completes our summer adventures. BKC will also ship their products to your front door step which makes things even more convenient! I give them a full 5 stars for their customer service and support team! read more

Awesome products and excellent customer service. Had an issue with my pedal drive and Isaac took care of it immediately. I was beyond impressed with the prompt and supportive service. I also own two of their kayaks which I would highly recommend. I am a casual kayaker who likes to fish and both kayaks have served that purpose very well. There are so many options out there for kayaks and I honestly had no clue. I feel lucky to landed on Brooklyn's website. I would highly recommend Brooklyn Kayaks. read more

my son purchased a 10.5 pedal drive kayak from this company. Within a year, it developed a hole in the hull and unfortunately, the same day the entire arm from the pedal drive fell into the water. I just got off the phone with Isaac from the company and we came to a compromise. They are honoring their warranty and are sending me out a patch for the . Initially, when this happened, I wasn't too happy, but after speaking with the owner, it was good that both of us could see each side of the story. read more

The process at the beginning was not bad at all ordered online. They use a shipping company so it does take a while definitely seems sketchy Their customer service they respond just enough so they can say that their customer service reached out I would recommend buying another brand and run away from this company as fast as possible They don't have Facebook reviews turned on They delete comments on social media And they somehow get their yelp reviews that are negative towards them removed read more

I received my Brooklyn 13.0 Pro Tandem Kayak (TK122) on Tuesday, and it is a marvelous boat! It was in perfect condition on delivery, and the communications with BKC and the transport company were first-rate. It was a very smooth process! The kayak itself is extremely well-built and thoughtfully engineered to accommodate the comfort of the passengers and their desired fishing tools - even a place for my Border Collie to join in on my adventures. I could not be more pleased! read more

I've been fishing heavily over the last 3 months on my Brooklyn Kayak Company 10.5 Pro Pedal Kayak and have loved every minute of it. I upgraded from 9.5' sundolphin without any of the features necessary to fish in my style. My Brooklyn Kayak allows me to stand up without any issue, go long distances without fatigue, and push into shallow backwaters. I highly recommend you check out some of their kayaks because I honestly believe you can beat them for the price. read more

I'm in the middle of my 4th season with my pedal drive PK kayak. It's been great, a wise investment. I use it for exercise and push it to the max. Obviously, some wear and tear after all it's been through. Can't say enough about how great Brooklyn Kayak's customer service is. Whenever I have an issue or a question, they respond immediately. I saw BKC now has a new design for their kayaks. Seems to have some key upgrades. May need to be my next kayak. read more

Angelo and Libby just delivered my new Brooklyn kayaks, and they were fantastic from start to finish. They arrived right on time, handled everything with care, and made sure the kayaks were set up exactly where I wanted them. Both were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make the whole process easy and stress-free. It's rare to find such a great delivery team these days, and I really appreciate their hard work. Highly recommend! read more

Very impressed with Brooklyn Kayak! Customer service is incredibly responsive and helpful. I'm really impressed how fast we received our kayaks! Ordered two motorized fishing kayaks on Monday and had them in our garage on Wednesday! Kayaks are great quality and comparable to kayaks from companies at two to three times the $$$. Can't wait to get 'em out on the water this weekend! Thank you BKC! read more

Delivery on time, packaged well and carrier contacted me once upon departure and twice while enroute. Kayak is awesome! Arrived intact and undamaged. (Packaged well). Kayak is just as advertised if not better. Brooklyn Kayak was easy to work with, professional and answered all of my questions. Would highly recommend BKC, their boats and their accessories. Shout out to Isaac! read more
