Hello and welcome to my fan site about Lifetime Kayaks (Dragonfly Innovations).

The reason for the creation of this blog was to pass on information such as accessories available, reviews, video links and information from others for those that have purchased a kayak already or those thinking of purchasing one in the future.

I purchased a Dragonfly Innovations Kayak around January of 2010. The model I chose is known here in Australia as the Dragonfly Angler 3.0. The same kayak under a different name can be purchased here in Australia and the United States called the Dragonfly Sport Fisher or Manta (now known as Lifetime Sport Fisher and manta).

Some of the reasons I purchased this kayak is that it suits my abilities as a beginner to the kayak scene needing a stable platform to fish from or just to enjoy a day on the water with my wife and daughter. It more than suited both these tasks.

Another factor in my decision to purchase this kayak was to upgrade it with the sailing kit and motor mount accessories that have been a long time coming.

In the future I will provide some photos, an in depth review of my experiences using the Angler 3.0 and some more information on the accessories.

New Sport Fisher Kayak - Camouflage

Lifetime have just listed a new Camouflage Sport Fisher Kayak in the online store. It meets all the same specifications as the original olive green version but prices the twin color camouflage at an extra $100.00USD.
It appears to be the same color combination that has been available in Australia for the last couple of years. I own the camouflage version and have to admit it maybe worth the additional money. It certainly looks great.
Something interesting is Lifetime now calls the olive version the "Tandem Fishing Kayak" and has given the name "Sport Fisher" to the new camouflage model. Would be great to see if a matching black and camouflage sail kit is released.

    I have one of the camo models ... just took deliery on Wednesday and immediately launched it for a quick shakedown cruise. Worked okay.

    BTW, where I purchased mine, the camo is actually less expensive than the standard green.

      Nice one Charles. They make for a stable fishing platform. You should check out the motor mount bracket as well.

    Wow! Great design. Very masculine. I'll open this to my buddies since we are planning to promote Kayak Philippines as a best way to spend summer times. I'll keep in touch with your post. Thanks.

    The Lifetime Tandem Sport Fisher kayak is a great piece of equipment. If you're after a kayak mainly for fishing, this one is about as solid as it gets. That being said, if you want your kayak to be more of an all-around kayak for recreation, fishing, fitness, etc., this one may not be the best choice as it's a bit of a pig in the water against strong current or headwind.

    I did a more in depth review on my blog here if you want more info on tandem fishing kayaks: http://boardandkayaklife.com/top-tandem-fishing-kayak-3-to-choose-from/

      Hello Haley,

      Agree totally. I appreciate the stable fishing platform the sport fisher makes. I would suggest this to a beginner or immediate skilled kayak for small trips in estuary or lake conditions.

      Can I link your review in my helpful links column. I thought it was an excellent review and a great read.
