Looks good, but some things have reduced my perception. The underside of the plastic hull mounding is significantly 'deformed' - so it the cockpit floor is 'wave shaped' and not flat. This is in the forward part of the cockpit, making is quite uncomfortable to sit in (in fact, it is a 'squeeze in' which is not very pleasant) and very difficult to just the knee braces. I know that you cannot control the product delivery end-to-end so I will see what I can do to reduce the deformation - or try to put up with it.
Dreamer - 4.5m Sit-In Touring Kayak White (XDPE 24kgs)
I bought 2 Dreamer Kayaks online, and overall they are OK/ good.
My family has average to above average leg sizes, as such I had to remove the leg pads then literally cut off the protruding plastic brackets which held the leg pads - a significant 2 hour job which included electrical tools and hand files. Obviously these Kayak are made for little Chinese legs, not big Aussie legs.
The Kayaks are also a little tippy, and harder to balance than other kayaks I have used. They are not well suited for adult beginners.
We have used the Kayaks 6 times in the last 2 weeks totaling about 35kms, in lakes, reservoirs, and rivers. They are quick and manovable, easy to get on and off the car, and have provided a lot of joy. They are not as stable as others I have used, and definitely have limited abilities/ no ability in open seas or very windy conditions which create choppy water.
I have not bought skirts for them, and we never had intentions for them to be used in open bays or in the sea.
In hindsight I should have purchased a deeper V hule which is more stable and able to handle rougher conditions, although this would have doubled the budget.
For me, the Dreamer is the best choice for someone looking for speed and stability. I think it is stable enough for the beginners. The rudder is responsive and easy to use. The ride is very smooth on this kayak. The plumb shaped bow cuts extremely well over those choppy waves. I came across the term "fast touring" which many explained the new trend these days for companies like Epic, Pace, Tiderace etc chose to make kayak with plumb shape bow, rather the traditional pointy shape bow. This new bow shape design is far better and gives faster and smoother ride. No joke. It works. Thats why it is the main stream design for surfskies as you can see. The Dreamer is not made of carbon/kevlar/fibreglass composite, but I wont care much about it. It is a little heavy to jack up onto the roof rack, but truly it's not that heavy when the technique is right. On the water, it's very responsive and I dont think the extra weight does affect on the speed. I'm 65 kg, 170 cm.. The white colour looks very nice too on the water. The seat is very comfortable enough for a few hours paddling. The cockpit is high enough to secure from the splash. The size of the cockpit is also very roomy. The polyethelene plastic construction is solid and the general build quality is also excellent throughout. The staffs at Baysports Mt Druitt are excellent. Very friendly and very helpful. I would rate them 5 stars.
My experience with Bay Sports has been positive. I had a minor issue with one of the knee pads but Bay sports replaced it once I notified them. They also followed up with an email to make sure everything was ok. A good company to deal with. Would recommend.
I haven't had the chance to paddle the Dreamer yet, but am looking forward to it. Seems well built and robust. Packaging was good and no problems with transport or delivery.
My purchase experience was very positive. there is obviously an emphasis on customer satisfaction with Bay Sports.Communication was excellent, delivery was fast and cheap for the size of the item.
The Dreamer is a good Kayak it is light enough for me to lift onto 4WD. It tracks well and is reasonably swift in the water.
One tiny thing was the retainer cords for the hatches were not tied back to the anchor point inside the Kayak properly and came free, retied them with a proper knot and now all good.
I am 183cm tall and I think am on the limit for height for this Kayak. my legs just fit, any taller and I think I would be looking at a different model. I didn㒓泱 check on this before I purchased, and I think I just got away with it. I used the weight limit as a guide so would be worth doing research before purchase if you are a little taller. I paddled it for two hours and was comfortable enough in it.
Given the pleasant purchase experience I think Bay Sports would help out with changing to another model anyway, if this was required.
Would buy here again.
Thanks.
We launched the 4.5 Dreamer kayaks today. Brilliant. Stable and easy to paddle.
My wife has not been kayaking before and we launched in a mild breaking surf. She handled it brilliantly. They are so stable.
Very happy with these kayaks. Today㒓泅 baptism was very rewarding and gave great confidence in their stability.

I recently purchased a Dreamer 4.5m Touring Kayak from Bay Sports and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I researched several suppliers and I found that the stringent testing of the product was paramount with Bay Sports.
To top it off, what an unbelievable price which was way under their competitors. I live in Brisbane and it was shipped to me unmarked due to the professional packing used.
I have taken it out a few times now and it is just what I expected, light fast and easy to load onto my SUV.
Thanks Guys, will recommend you anytime.

Recently bought a Dreamer 4.5m sit-in Kayak and couldn't be happier with the whole process from purchase to delivery to after sales service. Excellent product too, you won't be disappointed!
We bought 2 of these kayaks and can㒓泱 wait to get out on the water with them. We looked at similar kayaks and they were substantially dearer. The customer service was exceptional considering we were in another state and they had to arrange delivery to our door. We wouldn㒓泱 hesitate to recommend them to anyone else looking to buy from them.
Bay Sports' website is the stand-out Australian kayak sales site. There's plenty of info on all the products, the purchasing processes are straightforward and post-order communication was excellent.

“After a lot of research on similar looking kayaks, I picked Bay and the product is clearly superior. I collected mine as I am local, but their postage rates Australia wide are really reasonable. Can't recommend the guys at Bay Kayaks more."

“I've been searching around online for a sit on kayak for the whole family, I came across Bay Sports and the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. I must say the quality of the kayak was noticeably better than the one I saw in Anaconda, and the price was comparable. Will be recommending friends and family your way! Thank you again"
