Lightweight Tandem Touring Kayak

The lightweight Delta Traverse 17.5T tandem touring kayak has been designed with easy and efficient paddling in mind and outfitted to provide day long comfort. It is a great choice for couples, friends, or family members who want to paddle together in comfort, without sacrificing speed or storage.

At just 73 lbs (33 kg), the Traverse 17.5T is one of the lightest tandem kayaks in its class, making transport, launching, and portaging easy—whether you're paddling canals, lakes, or coastal waters. Thanks to its thermoformed ABS construction, it combines durability with a sleek and stylish finish. Not only is the light weight an advantage on the water you will very much appreciate how easy it is to lift onto a car roof rack too!

With a streamlined hull and excellent tracking performance, the Delta Traverse is designed for smooth, stable paddling, even for beginners or mixed-ability pairs. Whether you're exploring the Norfolk Broads, Scottish lochs, or the Cornish coastline, this tandem kayak delivers a fast, fun, and efficient ride. The foot operated rudder is easy to use, in many situations the rudder alone is enough to change course sufficiently. 

Comfort is provided with individually adjustable Contour II Seat Systems, providing ergonomic support for long-distance trips. Generous cockpit space, easy-to-reach foot braces, and three storage hatches make this kayak ideal for day tours or weekend adventures.
