Venture Kayaks Islay 14
The ideal touring kayak for longer inland journeys
The Venture Kayaks Islay 14 is the perfect touring kayak for those looking to paddle on inland waterways, lakes, estuaries or sheltered coastal waters. Perfect for longer trips or even carrying gear for an overnight camp.
A longer kayak is generally faster, enabling you to cover greater distances. The Venture Kayaks Islay 14 is an adventure touring kayak with a length comparable to that of a sea kayak, but it is designed for greater stability and manoeuvrability. This makes it ideal for beginners and intermediate paddlers looking to embark on enjoyable weekend adventures or relaxed trips of up to a week. The Islay 14 is well-suited for use on canals, sheltered lakes, and gentle rivers but is not out of its element on sheltered coastal stretches or river mouths and estuaries.
