A Stable 2 Person Kayak for All Experience Levels

Enough room for 2 and a child

While this model is marketed as a 2-seater, there’s more than enough room for you to bring a child along, as well. There’s 3 molded seat positions and you’ve got a maximum capacity of 375 lbs to work with.

Easy for solo use too

Of course, you might not always have someone who wants to go kayaking with you. This one is just as simple to operate by yourself. Because seating positions are in the bow, middle and stern, it’s easy to paddle solo or in tandem. You don’t need to buy a separate model for those days when you want to go out on your own.

If your job is to buy kayaks for a resort or business, the Ocean kayak Malibu two is a fantastic choice.

It’s a very versatile model. People can use it on their own, with others and with their kids on board.

Easy to store

The other big benefit is how easy these kayaks are to store. Unlike traditional models, these kayaks can be stacked on top of one another, greatly reducing the amount of space you need for them.

As there are no storage compartments, you also don’t need to worry about checking to make sure your kayaks are properly drained every day.

Roomy

The lack of storage compartments won’t limit your options, though. There’s more than enough room across the top of the kayak to store everything from fishing gear to camping equipment and more. You have 20 x 34 x 144 inches to use.

Lightweight

For a tandem kayak, this one is extremely lightweight.

At the low end, the vast majority of these kayaks will weigh about 75 pounds. This one clocks in at just 63.

If you’re kayaking with a partner and need to move it, you won’t have any trouble. You shouldn’t even have problems with it when it’s fully loaded with all your gear.

Sturdy length

In case you’re needing to check the length to see if it will fit in your storage shed, it’s 144 inches long. You can get much shorter tandem kayaks but if they’re too short they are more difficult to control.

As this is light in weight, you might be worried that the same would be the case for this model, but at 12 feet, it won’t give you any problems with stability. It might sound long, but keep in mind that tandem kayaks can get to nearly twice that size. 12 feet is plenty of room without becoming inconvenient to move around. It’s a good mix. The 34-inch width gives you lots of space for your things.

Extra storage is available

If you buy this model and realize you could use extra storage space, there are 3 options available. Across the top, you’ll see 3 circles that are part of the kayak’s mold. You can buy kits online that will transform these into containers that go into the body of the kayak.

These are usually used by people who want to go camping overnight and need as much room for provisions as possible.
