Sea Kayaks For Sale

Read our Sea Kayak Buyer's Guide first. If you buy a kayak from us, you can be sure you will get one that is right for you and fits you well. When you are ready to purchase a kayak, be sure to call us at (206) 527-1825 or e-mail info@kayakacademy.com, and we will arrange for a test paddle. Note: We do not sell kayaks on-line and we do not ship kayaks (the cost to ship is high, the time to crate is too much, and no matter what kayaks get smashed during shipment. However, we may be able to arrange for a kayaker to transport your new kayak to you if you live on the West coast or in the NW).

Upgrade to a new rudder-free, comfortable, fiberglass or plastic sea kayak from the Kayak Academy and you'll improve your skill, competence, confidence, and have more fun! Even if you find the same kayak somewhere else, it won't be as good as one from the Kayak Academy because we put our special TLC into every kayak we sell. Click Kayak Brand Names Below to Jump to:

Alaw Bach TCC 17'2" 21" - - 53 5'5"-6'" 130-190 Seadog rubber hatches - 10" Round front and rear and 8" Day hatch $2,950

Rockpool’s most popular design is now being built under license at the Eddyline Kayaks factory here in Washington state. The Alaw Back TCC is the first British sea kayak to be built using thermoformed composite construction (TCC). This is the latest manufacturing technology available in kayak construction. These kayaks are built from sheets of thermoformed plastic that are stiffer and lighter than the polyethylene plastic used to build roto-molded kayaks. As with fiberglass kayaks, these thermoformed kayaks won't warp or loose their shape over time. An added advantage is that the thermoformed plastic used to build the Rockpool TCC kayaks is more scratch resistant than either a roto-molded or fiberglass kayak.

FEATURES: unique roto-molded double hull design for buoyancy (virtually unsinkable -- like a sit-on-top kayak except you stay drier due to the higher canoe shape and higher position of the seat bottoms), stable enough for standing while fishing, stable even when swamped and easy to spill water out. Comfortable carry handles at both ends and sides. NuCanoes may be the most versatile boat ever made. They paddle well with either canoe or kayak paddles, they have a square transom for adding an electric trolling motor (not included), and they offer an optional kit for adding oars to row it with. All the seats are removable and have adjustable seat locations for 1, 2, or 3 seats (paddle solo with seat in middle, paddle tandem w/seats at ends, or add an extra seat for a child). Seats can face forward or backward (i.e. for rowing). There are two sizes of NuCanoes to choose from, a 10' and 12', and you can buy the accessories separately or as package deals. The accessory package deals have model names such as Deluxe, Adventurer, etc. However, you can convert a Rec 12 into a Deluxe 12 by simply adding two Sport Seats, and so on with all the other package models. To see all the accessories, click here NuCanoe Accessories
