The Aquanaut

A contemporary vision of the British-form kayak. The Aquanaut design harnesses over thirty years experience from prominent paddlers & instructors. Its modern lines, with less bow and stern overhang and more flare above the water-line, combine to give the kayak high performance with a confident feel. Ideal for paddlers requiring a fast, comfortable, all-round sea kayak. Click the video below to see this awesome boat cruise through the water on a test paddle.

Features:

 

Retractable Skeg

A slider fitted near the cockpit, operates a retractable skeg to ensure the kayak can be easily trimmed to suit all conditions.

 

Glass Reinforced Seam

Outside seams have a hardwearing Diolen tape application.

 

 

Welded Contoured Bulkhead

Our contoured bulkhead comes as a standard feature. The curved form allows for flexion of the hull, particularly when stress is concentrated on a spot when running aground.

 

Ergonomic Seat System

Our seat system includes an ergonomically contoured seat pan, three dimensional adjustable backband and padded customisable hip shims.

 

Moulded-in Deck Fittings

The modern standard for cockpit size, allowing easy escape or lifting of the knees whilst incorporating well placed thigh grips for great contact with the boat.

 

 

Colour Options

We keep these colours in stock at all times. Available for decks, hulls & outside seams.
