The Sea Knife 17 is an inexpensive expedition kayak with a very stable and very fast hull that “cuts the sea”. It’s fiberglass construction is very strong with little energy wasting flax. It has sharp chines which gives it it’s superior tracking and handling qualities in all winds. It’s extra width gives it excellent secondary stability.


This is a very rugged and seaworthy craft designed for the North Atlantic. The high sheared bow makes for a dryer deck and excellent entry in waves. The two large square hatches with gasket seals and water tight fiberglass bulk heads allows large bulky items to be stored with ease.
