What's A Good Starter Kayak??

if you aren't looking to spend a ton of money then I would check out the pelican kayaks from Academy Sports. They are decent boats for the price, they just can't take a beating like other more expensive kayaks.

 

Frontier 12 holds up to 600 lb. and is wide enough for to stand up. New runs about $1500.00. But is easy to do mods.
Might find a used one for less. Good Luck,Kayaks by Bo will let you try one on the water.

 

Brooklyn Kayak make nice affordable kayaks.

There are several Facebook groups that focus on selling used fishing gear, and kayaks, you might check there, since its a starter yak you're looking for, would help keep your costs down till you learn what you're really looking for in a yak

 

The ascend brand from bass pro is pretty good. I have the 1ot version and it is stable.

 

One that floats

Sorry

 

We bought a couple of the cheap 10 foot ones from Walmart. They are not stable and track terribly. $250 each for lawn ornaments. Oh well the kids don’t care and like them.

 

one of the best deals are on Garage sale, sometimes flea markets and just word of mouth, somebody may have a kayak in the garage or yard, they no longer use, may get for a good price, let people know your looking for one, also look in this forum for a use Kayak.....
