General purpose and hybrid crossover kayaks have features and designs from longer touring kayaks and shorter river kayaks. Features including storage hatches and skegs for longer touring days, while shorter water line allow for grater mobility on inland moving water.

Touring kayaks are designed to offer both comfort and performance for short or extended trips on the water. We offer both smaller light touring kayaks as well as longer day touring kayaks for longer trips or use on the sea.

Sea Kayaks primarily designed for use on the sea & coastal waters but can also be used on large rivers, lakes & estuaries. Generally 16ft+ in length resulting in good tracking & performance in swell & designed for optimum efficiency.

Large open cockpits make getting into and out of these kayaks much easier and also offers potential space for a child or family dog to come along for the ride.

Inflatables offer a packable and lighter boat, ideal for holidays away, more convenient storage, and versatile options for family days out.

Two seater kayaks for touring including closed cockpit and open cockpit models.

Kids kayaks are typically narrower than adult kayaks making them easier for children to paddle & reach the water. They are also lighter weight & smaller in volume to provide a better fit. We stock general purpose, touring and sit-on-top kids kayaks.
