Product Information

As for the price tags, they can vary anywhere from mid- to high-range depending on the specific type and construction. Inflatable Kayaks But when you’re ready to paddle, the pieces easily snap together to provide the same watertight performance you’ll enjoy with a standard, hardshell kayak. Touring kayaks are built longer and narrower than a recreational kayak. You’ll have more speed but less maneuverability. It can cut through stronger water currents better than a recreational kayak and is meant for more experienced paddlers. The kayak’s more aggressive hull design allows you to kayak in rough water and go further than you normally could with a beginner kayak. Another thing you need to think about ahead of time is how you will store the kayak when it’s not in use.

But like modular kayaks, they are on the expensive side. Plus, onboard storage is often limited – which is something that folding kayaks have in common with inflatables – so they may not be the best fit for longer outings. Both sit-on-tops and sit-insides can be found in modular versions. It’s also possible to find modular recreational, touring and even fishing kayaks, complete with built-in rod holders. It’s important that you weigh yourself, any passengers, and any gear you may be taking out with you. Once you have this total figure, compare it to the maximum weight capacities of the kayaks you’re considering, and ensure that you’re around 25% under the limit. Number of Sections Although the Gibsons are primarily a slalom family, I know Gary and Jane were training in K1 and K2 for a descent race in SA (I'm not sure if they have done it or still in the pipeline) so do have an interest in the longer boats and unless they would be treading on another importer's (i.e. Marsport) toes I'm sure they could include a sea kayak, surf ski or K1 in a shipment. I was actually chatting with Gary and others yesterday (although the conversation was about paddles and surf boats) and I know they are looking to looking to make sure they aren't too niche. And as with other Point 65 kayaks I’ve reviewed so far, you have the option to add a mid-section to your Mercury GTX and turn it into a tandem.In terms of the number of pieces, you’ll find modular kayaks with a minimum of two pieces. Most larger modular kayaks don’t have more than three total pieces, but there are some custom designs out there that feature four or more pieces. With many modular yaks, you will usually find that they come in two pieces for a single yak and can then be added to by purchasing extra center sections. This can then extend the yak for additional paddlers. Similarly, you can also remove center sections, leaving one seat to paddle the yak by yourself. Number of Seats - do you plan to paddle solo or is tandem or 3-person ideal? Don't forget that some modular kayaks and inflatables can be converted from solo to tandem. Just in front of the stern hatch, the Point 65 Martini Kayak has two cup holder slots. If you add a midsection, then two more cup holder slots are added to the kayak. With four cup holder slots, you will have plenty of room for your drinks or anything else you decide to use them for. Pros

If you don’t have enough room to store a hardshell kayak, a modular kayak is your best option. You can easily break it down into pieces and keep it in whatever storage room you have available, as it does not demand much space. The Falcon is a simple, straightforward modular kayak that easily fits up to three people while still offering pretty solid performance. And it’s budget-friendly, too. “ These kayaks tend to be very stable for beginners to learn on and they are also more forgiving as you’re getting used to the basics of kayaking. Recreational modular kayaks are, as the name suggests – meant for calm waters like lakes or slow-moving streams and more fun and relaxation. Beginner paddlers usually start with a recreational kayak, as they are cheaper and easier to maneuver than their touring counterparts.In our catalogue of detachable kayaks you can find several different models to suit every type of person or trip. Because we know very well that sailing on the sea is not the same as sailing on a river or any other kind of landscape. And it is also not the same to do it alone or accompanied. Conversely, a pontoon-shaped hull is popular for recreational kayaks and fishing kayaks. This hull shape provides exceptional stability and, in some cases, it will even allow you to stand comfortably in your kayak without worrying about it tipping. It all depends very much on what you want to use it for. If you usually sail alone, you don't need to buy a kayak with many seats. One option is to buy a two-seater kayak in case someone joins you unexpectedly. Although the Martini GTX is touted as a fishing kayak, it is not suitable for long haul fishing. However, if you want to do some nice recreational, afternoon fishing, this kayak will serve that purpose. Modular kayaks are available in solo or tandem alignments, and some can even be adapted to your preference for added versatility. They are also available in sit on top or sit inside varieties, depending on the main type of paddling you like to do. Buyer Guide

If you don’t want to fish solo, you can buy additional sections where each section has a seat. There’s also a tandem version that allows you to add a third section where a second paddler can sit. The solo and the tandem models accommodate up to 265 and 530 pounds, respectively. Pros: This is a great benefit for recreational kayakers in crowded areas or when you want your paddle strokes to have maximum effect on the direction of your kayak. If you have no problem spending more money, you can use the tandem version that handles higher weight capacity. Besides, we appreciate that it comes with three-rod holders, allowing for hands-free fishing. The Kingfisher breaks down into two pieces and each piece weighs no more than 37 pounds. In fact, this kayak’s total weight comes in at 70 pounds and it offers a maximum weight capacity of 287 pounds.The big appeal with modular kayaks is that you can pretty much store it anywhere. But you should still consider the dimensions of each part of the kayak, so you’ll have an idea of where to keep it when not in use. The Martini Solo is a 9 foot 4 inch sit-inside modular yak built for one person. But it has the added benefit of being easily customizable for tandemor more paddlers, with the addition of extra center sections. The Solo version just comes with two sections. Granted, none of these modular ‘yaks can be considered budget-friendly, not in the conventional sense of that word, anyway. My point is it’s nice to have options, considering that the KingFisher costs a grand more than the Tequila! GTX.
