Developed from the C-Trek, the “Marin Trek 18” is an expedition style sea kayak with an enviable pedigree. A low resistance hull form and long waterline makes for a fast cruising speed. The rounded hull cross section gives predictable handling in even the most challenging of conditions.
Fitted with an adjustable skeg to trim the kayak for neutral cross-wind handling, plus a “Smart Track” rudder with comfortable full plate foot rest and tiller bar steering system for effortless steering and control. The adjustable seat, thigh braces ensure a good paddling fit.
A three bulkhead, four hatch lay out using “KajakSport” hatches including aft day hatch, plus two large oval storage hatches gives you plenty of dry stowage. The “day box” easily reached forward of the cockpit for convenient and secure stowage of radio, phone, keys etc. Ample deck lines and bungees for storage of spare paddles and gear. Comfortable carry handles fore and aft.
