Double Inflatable Touring Kayak vs Lifetime Dash 6'6" Youth Kayak

These are not really rivals: the Double Kayak is a 15'5" two-person inflatable tourer, and the Lifetime Dash is a 6'6" sit-on-top for one child or small paddler. Buy the Double Kayak if you paddle with a partner and want a boat that packs down and carries gear; buy the Dash if a young or light paddler needs a simple, tough, ready-to-go boat. The Double Kayak is far more capable on open water and load, but it needs inflation, care with its drop-stitch chambers and a pump; the Dash is a molded HDPE hull that shrugs off scrapes and weighs 21 lbs, though its 150 lb limit and 6'6" length rule out adults and open water.

  • Choose the Double Kayak if you paddle with a partner, want to carry camping gear or a dog, and need a boat that folds into a car trunk.
  • Choose the Lifetime Dash if you are buying for a child aged 5 or over, or a very light adult, and want a tough sit-on-top that comes with a paddle.

Questions and answers

Which is better for two adults?
The Double Kayak. It is built for two paddlers with a 330 kg load limit; the Dash holds one person up to 150 lbs.
Which is better for a child?
The Lifetime Dash. It is rated for ages 5 and up, weighs 21 lbs and comes with a paddle.
Which lasts longer?
The Dash's HDPE shell resists scrapes and sun well with basic rinsing. The Double Kayak lasts years if you keep it inflated to no more than 12 psi and avoid sharp rocks.
Is the Double Kayak worth stepping up to?
Yes if you paddle with a partner or carry gear. It costs more and needs a pump, but it is a real touring boat rather than a short sit-on-top.
Can the Double Kayak be paddled solo?
Yes, but it is long and wide for one person. A solo paddler is better served by a shorter boat.
Does the Double Kayak come with paddles?
No. It ships as the boat only, so budget for two paddles, two seats and a pump.
