What is the lifespan of a kayak?
Bottom line: 6-12 years is a pretty typical range for the life span of a kayak. That’s a huge range, you might say. And yes, that is true. An inflatable kayak might last you only a half dozen years; however, a well-maintained, quality kayak can last twice that or much longer – even a lifetime. Modern inflatable kayaks will easily last 7-10 years with proper care, similar to the life of an inflatable dinghy. However, this depends on good maintenance. If you don’t take care of your kayak, it will not last more than 2 years in extreme cases.
