More About the Innova Seaker II
The Innova Seaker II is the two person version of the Innova Seaker. This inflatable kayak is about a foot and a half longer than the Seaker and sixteen pounds heavier. This model is quite heavy at 76 pounds. It is not a kayak that is good to bring traveling. The Seaker II is a high-end expedition inflatable sea kayak that was made to compete with the high end folding sea kayaks. The Seaker is about half the price of the high-end folding kayaks and sets up in a fraction of the time. The Seaker II is a fair amount faster than the solo Seaker and has actually been clocked at 7.5 miles per hour. That is pretty incredible for an inflatable.
Expensive and heavy this inflatable is not for everyone. It is geared for a certain market and if you were thinking about purchasing a high-end folding sea kayak then the Seaker II is definitely worth considering. Please read the review on the Seaker I for much more detail as they are virtually the same boat except for size and weight.
Final Thoughts On the Innova Seaker II
The Seaker is a very impressive inflatable kayak. It is not your typical recreational kayak as it was built for high performance and sea expeditions. Definitely tailored to a certain market… if you are searching for a tandem high end sea touring kayak that can be deflated and put in the trunk of your car as well as stored in your closet then the Seaker is a fantastic option. This is a beautiful boat.
