How we pick our products
A sea kayak is a small, narrow boat with two or more seats. It has an open cockpit and no keel to keep it upright in the water. The paddler sits low on its seat for stability and uses double-bladed paddles that are longer than those used by canoeists. Sea Kayaks can be made of fiberglass, Kevlar (a high strength plastic), wood or other materials but they all have one thing in common – they’re designed specifically for use on saltwater.

Sea Kayak: Frequently asked questions
What types of Sea Kayak are there and what determines a good product?
The answer is different for everyone. A good sea kayak should be able to handle the conditions you paddle in, and it must fit your body size, weight and skill level. It also needs to have enough storage space so that you can take everything with you on a multi-day trip without having to leave anything behind or worry about running out of food or water. And last but not least, it has got to look cool.

Who should use a Sea Kayak?
Based on what criteria should you buy a Sea Kayak?
There are a few things to look out for when comparing Sea Kayaks. The first is the weight of the kayak, as this will affect how easy it is to transport and launch your boat from shore or water. You also need to consider what type of paddling you plan on doing with your new sea kayak; if you want something that can handle rougher waters then make sure it has good tracking capabilities so that you don’t have any problems keeping up in rough conditions. If however, like most people who buy these boats, all they really want them for is leisurely touring around calm bays and lakes then there isn’t much point spending too much money on features such as speed control systems etcetera because they won’t be used very often at all.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Sea Kayak?
Advantages
Sea kayaks are very stable, and have a large cockpit so you can get in and out easily. They also track well (go straight) which makes them great for touring or fishing. You can paddle one with just your arms if needed.
Disadvantages
The biggest disadvantage is that you can’t go as fast. If you want to get somewhere quickly, a sea kayak is not the best choice. You also have less storage space than in an inflatable boat or sit-on-top kayak, and it’s harder to keep your gear dry if there are waves splashing over the deck of your craft. And because they’re so low on the waterline (and therefore more difficult for other boats to see), sea kayaks are prone to being run down by larger vessels at night or in foggy conditions.
