Feelfree Moken 10 V2 Review
Bottom Line:
The Feelfree Moken 10 v2 is one of the best sit on top kayaks for beginners and gains tons of praise for its portability and ease of movement, as well as for its surprising handling on the water. Despite its relatively small size, this boat feels fairly wide, and is one of the most stable in its class (according to experts).
Experts also agree that this boat could do better on storage – while there’s a variety of ways to store kit and accessorize this kayak, a more waterproof design would be welcome. That said, it has an impressive max weight load for its size.

Performance of the Feelfree Moken 10 V2
The Moken 10 v2 is a surprisingly stable and powerful kayak that proves you can’t judge a boat on looks alone. Despite its length, all of the experts and reviewers we analyzed say this is a roomy, highly stable kayak with lots of adequate storage, though there’s a risk of your kit getting wet.
Reviewers recommend using lightweight paddles with this boat for the most ease of movement. It seems to score well on power and acceleration in tougher currents, which may be a surprise given its build and size. Besides, it’s rudder-ready and you can easily install the Beaver Tail Rudder system for even better performance.
Experts are very impressed by this boat’s portability. It’s very light in weight, has a pop-out keel wheel system, and incredibly sturdy, molded handles for better grip. Reviewers found they could lift this boat up solo with no issues.
In terms of storage space and options, they agree that the Feelfree Moken 10 is decent but definitely not what you get with premium fishing kayaks. It features Uni-Track accessory rails and flush-mounted rod holders as well as a tankwell for your gear.
Overall, reviewers agree that this is a “grab and go” kayak that’s easy to adjust once you’re on the water. The adjustable foot pegs and seat clipping up and down – and the presence of standing clips – score well with experts on the move, too.
