Made in the USA from our family to yours

Comfort

Comfort is everything on the water, which is why the Tribe introduces high-end features, like premium seating, to the everyday paddler. The Comfort Seating System with thick ventilated padding has an adjustable seatback that reclines forward or backward for customized support. It also folds flat for stackable storage. Multiple footrest options let you choose the most comfortable position possible.

Stability & Performance

The Tribe’s cutting-edge design offers exceptional speed and maneuverability, along with added stability that keeps you drier than comparable sit-on models. Its sleek hull tracks straight, yet turns on a dime, making it easy to control for performance you can feel as your skills progress. Offered in three sizes, the Tribe’s speed, storage capacity, and stability increase with each size. The 13.5 tandem model accommodates two paddlers (and a small pet) while still being a blast to paddle solo.

Features & Safety

The Tribe is engineered to be among the safest kayaks on the water with built-in buoyancy and stability that lets you focus on fun. Spacious front and rear compartments include bungee cord lashes to secure cooler or gear bags of any shape or size. A molded-in cup holder and center hatch with built-in bag and protective lid keep essentials handy. Molded-in carry handles offer lockable security points for car top transportation and outdoor storage.

Durability

Like all Perception kayaks, the Tribe is designed for maximum durability and optimized weight. This is the result of its high-density polyethylene and one-piece roto-molded construction that provides exceptional UV, impact, and abrasion-resistance. The Tribe includes an easily replaceable skid plate for added protection when dragging your gear-loaded kayak to the water.

Exactly As Expected
I have to admit I was a bit nervous ordering these from Amazon as they were sold out everywhere else, but they came with a manufacturer certificate of authenticity and were definitely the 2020 models. The colors are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I only marked it four stars because there was a slight nick in the boat, but nothing super noticeable. For what it's worth the "2019" deja vu color my boyfriend ordered has 2020 pictures on amazon and actually arrived as the 2020 model, which we were thrilled about. I have experience with previous years of the tribe series and they are very good kayaks--I'm particularly excited about the comfier seat re-design.

Tribe 11.5 is the perfect boat for a larger paddler! I'm 5'11 and large in the seat. This boat is so comfortable!!! I can fully stretch out in the boat and not have my legs get cramped up. The seat is framed and very comfortable on the back. It's wide enough for me not to feel cramped. It moves really nice in the water - really nice. This is my first kayak and I'm thrilled at how stable it feels and how easy it is to move through the water. I haven't had it on rough water yet - but so far I'm very pleased.

Great boat! Tracks well, stable, and super comfortable. Very, very had to find this specific boat. Amazon made a mess of the delivery; missed delivery dates, said it was delivered weeks before it actually was, and essential lost the boat in transit. That said, it did arrive in perfect condition. Additionally, you don't need scupper plugs to enjoy this Kayak as some have indicated.

Tracks straight! Feels fast with minimum effort! It responds quickly to paddle strokes. I'm a short guy, 5' 8" and 173 lbs, so 52 lbs was a concern; however, the two handles in the middle make all the difference. With the handles, I can load and unload of a top SUV, and carry it just fine. Pricy, but I worth it.

I received it with some some scratches in a couple of zones, but no biggy; It floats!

I love this kayak so much. It has great stability and is relatively comfortable. I kayak in waters that can easily change from calm to rough, and have no issues worrying about tipping. Just a heads up, it is heavy and unless you are strong (I'm not), you will have to have somebody help you get it in and out of your vehicle. Overall a great kayak for those that don't want a sit inside.

Kayak was delivered with significant scratches and scuffing down most of the right side. There is also a large scuff on the left front.

The damage is into the plastic but does not compromise “sea worthiness”.

I don’t know if the where during the delivery process the damage occurred but it’s terribly disappointing
to spend $800 on a kayak and receive it with damages. To quote an observer "it doesn't look like new kayak".

Should have known better than to order something that doesn't fit in a box from Amazon.
