Eddyline Sandpiper 130 Sit Inside Recreational Kayak
The Eddyline Sandpiper 130 is Eddyline's most spacious and comfort-focused recreational kayak — a 13-foot sit-inside built for L/XL paddlers who want a stable, roomy, all-day paddling experience without sacrificing quality construction. Built on the foundation of the beloved classic Sandpiper and extended to 13 feet with a wider 28-inch beam, the Sandpiper 130 delivers exceptional primary stability and a massive 48" x 22" cockpit that makes entry and exit effortless — even from a dock or boat deck. Built with Eddyline's proprietary Carbonlite thermoformed construction, it weighs just 54 pounds and offers the kind of rigid, high-gloss finish typically associated with fiberglass boats at a fraction of the weight penalty.
The standout feature of the Sandpiper 130 is its removable Cloud 10 framed seat — a fully adjustable, high-back comfort seat that provides exceptional support for hours on the water and then pops out to serve as a beach or camp chair when you're done paddling. Adjustable foot braces accommodate a wide range of leg lengths, while soft knee pads add to the comfort-first interior. The oversized cockpit also has ample room to bring along a dog, a camera setup, or a small passenger, making the Sandpiper 130 one of the most versatile recreational hulls in Eddyline's lineup for anglers, photographers, and casual cruisers alike.
Two sealed bulkheads and dual hatches — a 10-inch round bow hatch and a large 18-inch oval stern hatch sized for bulky gear — provide generous, watertight dry storage ready for day trips or extended outings. Bow and stern deck bungees offer fast-access storage for spray tops, hydration, and spare paddles, while retractable carry handles and recessed deck fittings round out a fully equipped package. With a 390-pound weight capacity and a stable, confidence-inspiring hull suitable for lakes, inshore waters, and Class I–II rivers, the Sandpiper 130 is the definitive recreational kayak for larger paddlers who want maximum comfort, capacity, and Eddyline quality in a single hull.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Eddyline Sandpiper 130
Who is the Eddyline Sandpiper 130 best suited for?
The Sandpiper 130 is built for larger paddlers and for anyone who values room and easy access over a snug fit. It is 13 feet, 54 pounds, 28 inches wide and rated to 390 pounds, with a 48" x 22" cockpit that provides a very open sit-inside layout, and L/XL paddler sizing. It suits photographers, casual cruisers and paddlers who find standard recreational cockpits awkward to climb into. It is a solo kayak with one seat.
How easy is it to enter and exit its large cockpit?
Easier than a conventional sit-inside, because the Sandpiper 130's 48" x 22" cockpit is closer to an open deck than a keyhole. There is room to swing your legs in rather than sliding them under a deck, which helps at docks, from a boat deck, and for paddlers with limited hip or knee mobility. The removable frame seat lifts out, opening the space for loading. Practice entries in shallow, calm water before relying on the boat elsewhere.
Can a dog or additional gear ride in the Sandpiper 130?
Yes — the open cockpit has room for a dog, a camera setup or bulky gear. The Sandpiper 130 is still a solo kayak with a single seat, not a tandem. Anything you bring counts toward the published 390-pound maximum, which also includes the kayak's own weight, and a moving passenger changes balance and handling in a way static gear does not. Start on calm, shallow water, let a dog learn the boat before a real trip, and keep the load well below the maximum.
Can the removable frame seat be used outside the kayak?
Yes. The Sandpiper 130's frame seat clips out in seconds and doubles as a camp or beach chair, which is genuinely useful at a lunch stop or a shoreline campsite. In the boat it provides adjustable, high-back support built from marine-grade foam and breathable mesh sized for long days. Removing it also opens the cockpit for loading gear. Rinse it with fresh water along with the hull and let it dry before storage.
What does the 390-pound capacity include?
The published 390-pound maximum includes the Sandpiper 130 itself, the paddler, and everything carried aboard. The whole 390 pounds is not available for you and your gear — the hull's published 54-pound weight counts toward it. Because this open cockpit invites bringing more, work through the rest honestly: your own weight, clothing, a life jacket, food, water, safety gear, dry bags, a cooler and a dog if one comes along. Loading below the maximum generally preserves freeboard, maneuverability and predictable handling, particularly with a pet aboard.
What types of water is the Sandpiper 130 designed for?
The Sandpiper 130 is designed for inshore waters, lakes and ponds, Class I–II rivers and creeks, and fishing. The 28-inch beam gives it the settled feel that makes casting, photography and moving around in the cockpit workable. A cockpit this open takes on more water than a keyhole design in rough conditions, so it is best kept to protected water. Class I–II describes the hull's intended range, not a guarantee about a given river.
How much storage does it provide?
The Sandpiper 130 has two hatch compartments — a 10-inch round hatch forward and an oval stern hatch sized for bulkier items — behind sealed bulkheads that provide flotation as well as storage. Bow and stern deck bungees hold spray tops, hydration and a spare paddle within reach, and the open cockpit itself takes a surprising amount. Treat the compartments as water-resistant rather than guaranteed dry and keep electronics in dry bags.
How should the Sandpiper 130 be transported and stored?
At 54 pounds it is the heaviest sit-inside in this batch, so plan on a two-person lift or a lifting aid. Car-top it on saddles, stackers or J-cradles, cockpit-side down, on its side, or cockpit-up, with straps snug rather than over-tightened plus bow and stern lines. Store indoors when possible; outdoors keep it elevated, covered, clean and dry, and use a cockpit cover against weather and pests. See Eddyline's owner information.
What warranty coverage comes with the Sandpiper 130?
The Sandpiper 130 carries a three-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, with deck rigging covered for two years. Coverage is limited to the original owner and requires warranty registration. Normal wear, improper use or storage, UV color fading and freight damage are excluded, and the customer pays return transportation, freight and packaging charges on a claim. A product sold as blemished keeps standard coverage apart from the disclosed blemish itself. Full terms are on Eddyline's warranty page.
