Explore the Premier Selection of Sit-on-top Kayak Models
When envisioning a kayak, newcomers to the kayaking scene typically conjure an image of the traditional style – slim, short, and streamlined, with the navigator seated within the craft's confines.

When envisioning a kayak, newcomers to the kayaking scene typically conjure an image of the traditional style – slim, short, and streamlined, with the navigator seated within the craft's confines.
However, the "Sit-On-Top" kayak style stands in stark contrast to this perception. In this design, a self-bailing hull is utilized, placing the kayaker on top of the watercraft rather than inside it.
As the kayaker's position is elevated above the water's surface, their center of gravity shifts, necessitating a wider design to enhance stability and prevent tipping.
This style proves particularly accommodating for those who find entering and exiting a conventional sit-in model challenging. The open deck provides spacious seating and is a favorable option for taller individuals who seek ample legroom.
Ideal for serene waters, Sit-On-Top kayaks excel in fishing, recreation, and even SCUBA diving scenarios. Due to the elevated seating, paddling can be slightly more demanding, prompting reliance on alternative propulsion methods like pedal drives, sails, or motors.
Southwest Outfitters boasts an array of Sit-On-Top Kayaks to suit diverse preferences. Our selection includes single kayaks for solo adventures, tandem options for companionship, and even inflatable models for lightweight transport and easy storage during the off-season. Embark on your kayaking journey with comfort and confidence with our top-tier offerings.
