For many people, a Recreational Touring Kayak will offer the best of all options. Rec Touring boats are shorter than full open water touring boats, making them both lighter and easier to manuever in tight situations. At the same time, they are more efficient and more seaworthy than shorter Recreational boats. Rec Touring boats have at least one and sometimes two dry storage compartments, a fuller complement of deck rigging, and a more tailored fit in the cockpit, allowing you to handle the boats quite well in a variety of conditions.

This is our biggest category of kayaks, with over 14 different models to chose from. As with any kayak, you won't know how the boat will fit you until you try it on, so we encourage you to do some research here, then come on in to our shop in Vernon Hills so we can find the boat that's just right for you.
