Has anyone try to get back on this kayak in open water?
It looks like this kayak can't be filled with water, so is it unsinkable?

This boat falls under the category of "sit-on-top" kayaks. One of the pluses for this style of kayak is that they are very stable, and in the event of a capsize, they are very easy to climb back on top of. The structure of the boat is hollow with few openings into the inner chamber. And to answer your second questions simply, it would be very difficult to sink this boat. However if the front hatch (gray and black rubber piece) is not secured properly, the boat could sink more easily.
