Recreational Sit On Top Kayaks

Both sit in and sit on top kayaks have their benefits, and PaddleZone can help you select the best option for your needs.

Single Sit in Kayaks for Sale

A sit in kayak offers a lower centre of gravity and typically features a narrower design. This allows sit in kayaks to be faster, more wind-resistant, easier to manoeuvre and control, and more stable when turning. These kayaks also offer extra built-in sun protection.

However, paddlers often feel more confined in sit in kayaks, and they are harder to re-enter after a capsize. Storage space can also be limited.

To find out if a sit in kayak is right for you, explore the range of single sit in kayaks for sale from PaddleZone and ask our team for further advice and information.

When you sit on top of a kayak, you can enjoy a greater feeling of freedom! They’re also easier to enter and exit, especially after a capsize on the water. Sit on kayaks are completely unsinkable due to their sealed hull design, and any water that gathers on the external cockpit can drain via self-bailing scupper holes.

However, these kayaks tend to be slower, slightly more difficult to control and manoeuvre, and they require more effort to propel forward. There’s also no built-in protection from the sun, waves, or wind while you’re on the water.
