Here’s What's Currently Available

Five Necky (Old Town sister company) Manitou 14’s. These are brand new (Red) ocean-style kayaks with a retracting skeg for excellent tracking on open water. These kayaks have excellent dynamics and are easy to paddle. They got great reviews last summer!

Two Old Town Dirigo 14’s. These 14-foot kayaks are sturdy, well-designed, and easy to paddle. They are very similar to the Nantucket model, which was a favorite last year, and Nantucket lovers should feel very much at home in the Dirigo. They have a larger cockpit than the 14-foot Necky, making them easier to get in and out.

Two Old Town Nantuckets. This model was replaced by the Dirigo. They are 14ft. long and the cockpit is a bit larger than the Necky making them easier in and out. Deb and I have used these for a few years. They are in beautiful shape, well designed and paddle easily; a nice basic design and a sturdy boat.

Two Necky II Tandem Kayaks. These new tandems have an excellent design with separate cockpits, making them a safer boat in choppy water. Rudders are included and are important in a tandem for steering and easy tracking.

Two Wilderness Systems Tsunamis. These are all but brand new and are 14ft. in length. They are a well-designed and well-made ocean-styled kayak. They are relatively light weight and track very well.

One Precision Kayak. This kayak is a bit older and scratched but still in good shape and has been paddled all over Penobscot Bay. It's 14 feet long and a nice ocean-style kayak.

One Old Town Otter. The Otter is designed for a child and is suitable for paddling in the cove and along the shoreline. This was John’s starter kayak. While fully functional, it has some scratches; otherwise in great shape.
