Question 6

What kind of kayaks does Sea Kayaking Sagres have?

Accepted Answer

Our kayaks are sit-inside kayaks which are manufactured in Europe to very high standards. 
 
Regarding the advantages of such a kayak design; sit-inside sea kayaks shelter your lower body from the wind, which makes them much warmer. Furthermore, this design is great for paddlers who'll be on cooler water and who want to stay dry while paddling. Ultimately, kayakers consider sit-inside designs more than a vehicle for travel than a toy.’
