Our take on the Connelly Nautic 11.5 Kayak

The Connelly Nautic 11.5 is an inflatable sit-inside recreational kayak that seats one or two paddlers. It has an open bow layout, a zippered dry hatch in the stern, and a removable center seat for solo paddling. At 26 lb it is light enough to carry from a car trunk and set up quickly. Its only recorded price is $224.99 at the low end of its range, so there is no cheaper day to wait for.

Best forCouples or a parent and child on calm lakes and slow riversSolo paddlers who want a light, car-trunk kayakCabin, RV and small-apartment owners with no storage spaceBeginners who want stability over speed
Pros
  • Weighs 26 lb, easy to carry and load alone
  • 11.5 ft length tracks better than short inflatables
  • Open bow gives legroom for taller paddlers
  • Center seat position lets one person paddle solo
  • Zippered dry hatch keeps gear out of the bilge
  • Packs into a storage bag with pump-free setup
Cons
  • Inflatable hull is slower and less efficient than a hard shell
  • Not suited to whitewater, surf or open water
  • Listed 26 lb weight capacity is implausible for a two-person boat; confirm the real figure before buying
  • No skeg or rudder, so wind pushes it around
  • Thin inflatable floor can feel soft underfoot

Questions and answers

Is the Connelly Nautic 11.5 worth it?
At $224.99 it is a low-cost way to get a two-person inflatable that fits in a car trunk. It suits calm lakes and slow rivers; if you paddle often on open water, a rigid kayak or a drop-stitch inflatable is a better spend.
How does it compare with a hard-shell kayak?
It is far easier to store and transport and costs much less. A hard shell is faster, tracks straighter and lasts longer, but needs a roof rack and storage space.
Can one person paddle it alone?
Yes. The removable seat can be moved to a center position so a solo paddler sits balanced. Expect it to sit higher and catch more wind than when loaded with two people.
What is the real weight capacity?
The listed 26 lb maximum weight capacity matches the boat's own weight and cannot be right for a two-person kayak. Check Connelly's manual or the label on the hull for the actual limit before loading gear.
What comes in the box?
A removable seat, a storage bag and a repair kit. A pump is not listed, so plan to buy one that fits the valve.
When is it cheapest?
The lowest recorded price is $224.99 at Distritech as of October 28, 2026, which is also the highest recorded price. There has been no discount window yet, so waiting has not paid off.
