Kayak Buying Guide
Recreation & Fitness
Recreational kayaks are designed to be accessible for most paddlers. They are generally more stable, comfortable, and easy to paddle and transport. Recreational kayaks are great for flat water and slow rivers, not for rapids or longer trips.
Fishing
Fishing kayaks are designed with lots of primary stability, making it easy to stand and fish. Many fishing kayaks offer pedal or motorized propulsion, which anglers love for the hands-free control. Deck them out with fish finders, rod holders, and more if you're looking to take your fishing game to the next level.
Day Touring Kayaks
Day touring kayaks are perfect for paddlers who want to go a little farther and faster than their recreational kayak offers. These kayaks are more efficient to paddle thanks to longer, narrower hulls, and offer more storage to keep a full day's worth of gear handy.
