I am really enjoying the Ultimate 12 from Native. This ultra stable is perfect for my fly fishing adventures and has great room for storage. The kicker is the removable seat that I can use while out camping.

Review:	As a serious amateur wildlife photographer, I chose the ultimate 12 kayak by native watercraft for it's stability, and all of the options available to make it my own. I ordered it and received it quickly on the loading dock at work. It was well packaged and undamaged. Took it home and launched it that afternoon. 1. Seat is excellent! Well made and practically infinitely adjustable. It even reclines. 2. Very spacious hull, easily accepts a huge amount of cargo, and wide enough to set up my camera tripod in front of me without interfering with paddling. 3.Stability is awesome, I am old and arthritic with fake knees etc, and I am comfortable standing in it. This is a real plus, since I usually tie it to my houseboat, and have to stand in it to load and unload. You would have to work real hard to capsize this yak. 4. A little deeper draft than my other kayaks, probably 8-10 inches, but is only an issue when pushing off from the beach. 5. All of that having been said, this thing handles like a turd!! Does not track well, I had to alter my entire paddling style. Does ok on flat water as long as there is no wind, and would be fine downriver though I haven't been on live water yet. On dead water it is probably 40% slower than my Ocean Kayak Trident, and 60% slower than my 17' sea kayak. Stability is it's claim to fame, and despite the cons I bought as a stable platform for photography (and fishing/crabbing), and it fulfills those needs, and will work well for the occasional downriver camping trip. Great payload! Great looks! Quality build! Extreme stability! If not for the performance issues it would get 5 stars.

Review:	Its exactly what I thought it would be, very stable. I took it out soon as I got it to try my flyrod while standing, it lived up to the hype. I am so ready to hit the coastal creeks and flats and try for some redfish. I will post again when I get a full day in, oh yea the new camo color is really cool.

Review:	I had paddled this boat before and I liked it. It doesn't track as well as my wife's Tarpon but I like the stability and comfort. Very roomy. I can carry a lot of gear as well as my dog. Excellent kayak.

Review:	First, kudos to ACK and their shipping carrier; the kayak arrived quickly and in perfect condition. As to the kayak itself, it lives up to its reputation for stability, a key factor in our purchase decision, as one of its primary uses will be for wildlife photography. There are better tracking yaks; however I don't have an issue with the way this boat tracks because of the other attributes that the hull design provides. The build quality is superb. The camo is excellent; this boat simply disappears in the environment.
