About
Sit-on-top kayaks are considered to be one of the most versatile options for paddling and are perfect for beginners. If you’re looking to splash, paddle, swim and explore, this is one of the best options for you. Sit-on-top kayaks are extremely stable and designed to handle conditions from calm to slightly choppy water. These kayaks are completely sealed on the top and bottom so they are much easier to flip back over if you capsize. Our unique Feel Free styles are equipped with integrated handles on the front and sides making them easy to climb back on from the water. Other features include an adjustable seat, dry storage compartment and bungee straps for belongings. This type of vessel does not offer a defined hull and is less restrictive so oversize paddlers. Guests with long legs and physical limitations might find a sit-on-top kayak more comfortable than other styles. Limitations apply (see details).
