Advantages of enclosed kayaks

1. Better glide and speed
Thanks to their slim, streamlined shape, deck kayaks offer excellent water penetration. They move faster and require less effort over longer distances. They're the ideal choice for day trips to the sea.

2. Smoother, more precise navigation
The lower center of gravity and direct contact with the kayak provide better directional control. As a result, the deck kayak is more maneuverable and stable on the move, even in windy or swelly conditions.

3. Protection from the elements
The cockpit skirt keeps the paddler safe from wind and splash. This keeps you dry and comfortable, whatever the season. Pontoon boats are therefore ideal for both winter and summer cruising.

4. Superior load capacity
Deck kayaks feature watertight hatches at the front and rear, making it easy to take along picnics, a change of clothes, a camera or safety equipment. A real asset for day trips or extended adventures.

5. A more immersive and technical experience
With a deck kayak, you become one with the boat and learn the finer points of navigation: support, heeling, balance... It's the perfect boat for progressing and fully experiencing the sensations of gliding and the sea.
