To be honest, I was somewhat hesitant to buy the Haven based on some online reviews. It seems that the single kayaks made by Oru have satisfied owners; however, there are some concerns from owners of the tandems. MEC’s return policy and guarantee encouraged us to give it a try.
We are completely satisfied with the Haven and have not experienced any negative issues related to quality or ease of assembly. The portability and overall performance in the water are difficult to beat. While not at the same level of performance of real kayak, the Haven is relatively quick, stable with good tracking. It’s definitely better than an inflatable.
If you desire portability and lack storage space, it’s hard to beat.
