Old Town Kayak Reviews

Real stories from the water: See why paddlers trust Old Town for their adventures, passions, and peace of mind.

After two decades in the Army and several injuries that slowed me down physically, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep fishing the way I used to. That all changed when I picked up the Old Town Sportsman 106 Motorized kayak. This boat has not only helped me stay in the game—it’s reignited my love for competitive angling. The Minn Kota motor is an absolute beast: quiet, powerful, and incredibly responsive. With foot-controlled steering, I can navigate shorelines, docks, and lily pads with surgical precision, and I don’t have to worry about exhausting myself paddling back to the launch after a long day on the water. I fish tournaments all over the Southeast, and this kayak gives me the edge I need, allowing me to stay longer in hot spots and cover way more water than I ever could before. It’s stable enough for me to stand and cast confidently—even with the wake of passing boats or surprise wind gusts. Storage is dialed in perfectly: the under-seat compartments, rod holders, and gear tracks mean I’ve always got what I need right at hand. I’ve landed monster bass from this thing, taken it through shallow creeks and big reservoirs, and it hasn’t let me down once. For vets or anyone who wants to fish smarter, not harder—this kayak is pure freedom on the water.

As someone who spends countless hours in remote and often hard-to-reach areas capturing wildlife, I’ve come to rely heavily on gear that can keep up with the demands of my job. The Old Town Sportsman PDL 106 has been a total game-changer for how I approach my photography assignments. Before switching to this kayak, I used a standard paddle model, which meant constant repositioning, noisy movements, and frustrating limitations when I needed to focus on my subject. With the PDL Drive system, I can move in total silence and make precise adjustments to my position without putting my camera down. This hands-free operation has allowed me to capture elusive wildlife—bald eagles, otters, and even moose—with a level of stillness and control I never thought possible. The kayak’s remarkable stability lets me stand up confidently with a full-frame DSLR and 400mm lens in hand, which is no small feat. I’ve paddled through tight inlets, foggy morning marshes, and even taken it out in light chop on Lake Superior without ever feeling off balance or unsure. The thoughtful design gives me more than enough space for dry bags, camera gear, a tripod, and snacks for a full day in the field. I don’t just think of it as a fishing kayak—this is my mobile blind, my photography base, and the best piece of gear I’ve added to my kit in years.

In my role as an outdoor education instructor in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve had the chance to paddle and teach in dozens of kayaks—but nothing has impressed me or my students quite like the Old Town Loon 126. I take groups of beginners on paddling excursions through bays, lakes, and coastal inlets, and this kayak has become my go-to for comfort, performance, and dependability. The seat is hands-down the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced—it’s adjustable, breathable, and supportive even during long multi-hour trips. That matters when you're guiding nervous first-timers who need a stable, calm introduction to kayaking. The Loon tracks beautifully and glides through the water effortlessly, making it easy for students to build confidence quickly. The cockpit is spacious enough for folks of all sizes, and the removable work deck is such a smart touch—it holds water bottles, phones, maps, and even a GoPro or journal. I’ve used this kayak to explore remote shorelines, lead group trainings, and even do wildlife spotting with my kids on the weekend. It’s rugged, yet lightweight enough that I can load it onto my SUV solo. Over and over again, I hear students say, “Wow, this was easier than I thought,” and I know it’s because the Loon gave them a great first impression. For instructors, casual paddlers, or anyone looking for a reliable, high-comfort ride—the Loon delivers on all fronts.
