Sea Kayaks

Kayaks for Coastal Touring and Offshore Expeditions

Sea kayaks are suited for paddling over longer distances on open waters, where conditions may be variable and often challenging. Their narrow beam and efficient designs ensures they paddle well on both smooth seas and big seas. Some designs are better suited for general cruising and touring. Others are more capable of being playful in swell for rock-hopping and surf fun. Many are fantastic all-rounders that will suit the avid sea kayaker looking to explore the coast and carry out some open water crossings. Cornwall Canoes is staffed by experienced sea kayakers who can provide expert advice on a suitable sea kayak for your needs. Just give us a call or drop us an email and we can assist you in purchasing a craft to take you on your ocean adventure!
