CLEAR Tandem (2 seat) Kayaks.
Two person minimum.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your departure for mandatory safety overview
Our Clear kayaks provide maximum visibility for viewing sea life while you leisurely paddle the SW Florida coastal waters. They are set up to be used as tandems but can be used as a single with some modifications if necessary because you have an odd number in your group (singles based on availability... we will contact you if a kayak is not available for a single).
A CLEAR kayak is all about visibility... and water clarity is best at high tide, low wind / surf conditions (less churn to suspend sediment). Paddlers often say CLEAR kayaks are less comfortable since you sit on the bottom. They also can take a bit more effort since they generally don't track as well as a standard kayak.
Capacity: Tandem (double) kayaks fitted for two adults. Weight Limit: The weight limit is 400 pounds per boat and no more than 225 pounds per seat.
Care: To reduce scratching the clear polycarbonate outer surface PLEASE DO NOT DRAG THE KAYAK in shallow water, at the beach, or during launch or take-out. Exit the kayak while it is floating and carry it over shallow sand bars or up on the beach.
