RECREATIONAL KAYAKS

A recreational kayak is typically classified as a stable kayak with a large cockpit which provides easy entry and exit. Best suited for smaller, sheltered bodies of water, and perfect for day trips.

Whether you're new to kayaking or are looking for something simple and user-friendly to get you on the water, a recreational kayak may be perfect for you.

SWIFT CANOE & KAYAK

adirondack 10LT

For many small paddlers, a lightweight boat is the difference between going paddling on their own, or needing help. Swift asked designer David Yost to push the limits – and the Adirondack 10 LT is his answer. The shorter length and absence of hatches and bulkheads allows us to build a kayak that weighs only 22 lbs in Carbon Fusion.

HURRICANE KAYAK - Santee 116 Sport

When you’ve got the best in-class recreational kayak, what do you do next? You think about how to make that design accessible to more people. Recreational means a lot of different things to different paddlers. For some folks, recreational means accessories, and accessories require space, so we took the Santee 116 and upsized it. We put some serious cubic inches in the cockpit and voila ― the Santee 116 Sport! A recreational kayak that gives you room for tackle boxes, rod tubes, dry bags and perhaps the family dog ― appropriately clad in a doggie PFD of course. In addition to the extra space in the cockpit, the Santee 116 Sport also features a sealed rear bulkhead and easy to use hinge hatch, and at 36.5 pounds you aren’t sacrificing performance for extra space. Why? Because the 116 Sport rides on the same magic Swede form hull as the 116.

HURRICANE KAYAK - Santee 126 Sport

When we designed the Santee 126, we didn’t set out to redefine recreational kayaks. Our goal was to redefine the recreational category. In other words, we wanted to bring a new standard to what rec paddlers could expect on the water, and with the Santee 126 we accomplished the mission. This boat glides and tracks like no other, so fun becomes effortless and instantaneous. If you wanna get a little aggressive, the 126’s multi-chined hull gives you the ability to carve some tight turns, and with the fully adjustable seat system, your rear end and lower back won’t bark at you after a full day on the water. There’s even a paddle holder and rear deck security bar. Speaking of bars, we raised the bar for the recreational category with the Santee 126.

The removable frame seat is a super comfy beach chair outside the kayak. Inside the Prima 110, the seat drops into a specialized interface that adds stiffness to the cockpit and allows you to adjust the seat forward and aft. The Prima 110 Sport is 11 feet of paddling perfection that is ultra light and super easy to maneuver on and off the water. Like her big brother, this little kayak also features sleek deck lines, smooth comfort-grip handles, front deck bungee, a front gear track, and the ability to accept our Sport Console.

skimmer 116

Okay, let’s just get it out there, the Skimmer 116 is a darn good looking sit on top.

It’s a sit on top that begs to be put in the water, and when you get it there, the Skimmer 116 performs. With its touring style hull and refined scupper system, the Skimmer 116 skims across the water, cuts through waves, and slices through chop.
