If there are two or more of you who often want to go out together on trips, a double kayak is a good investment. It is generally more affordable to buy a double kayak than to buy two single kayaks, especially since you can paddle double kayaks on your own. Many choose a double kayak as their first kayak model as this provides good conditions to test owning and using a kayak, to see if the interest in kayaking remains. Those who become inveterate paddlers often supplement with a one-man kayak after a while.

With two people paddling together, safety increases in the event of an accident, as you can be helped to turn the kayak the right way if you end up in the water. Together in the kayak, stability increases, which makes you stronger and safer in unstable water.

The double kayaks have, in comparison to the single-person kayaks, more space for packing and equipment, which is good for those who want to go on longer trips for a more challenging experience.

Paddling together is a great way to share the paddling experience, it becomes both more fun and more memorable. It is easy to communicate with your partner when you are sitting close to each other and you get a good opportunity to train your cooperation skills😊
