A sit on top kayak is slightly different from a classic "sit in" kayak, with the big difference being how the hull and seat are designed. Instead of having an enveloping cockpit that places you level with the water, sit on top kayaks are instead made up of an air-filled hull with a seat on top of the canoe itself. This stable and comfortable design offers some advantages over classic kayaks. For example, allows you to do other things during the paddle trip, such as fishing or bird watching. So what are the other benefits of a sit on top Kayak?
Thanks to the sit on top kayak's open design, you get more freedom in the kayak. Your legs are not locked in a tight cockpit, but you can shake and stretch them as you wish. This means that even inexperienced paddlers can handle longer trips without any noticeable ailments. You are also a little higher up on the water, which puts you in a more comfortable position for the actual paddling, and you get a natural overview of your surroundings.
Sit on top kayaks are usually much more robust and stable than regular kayaks, thanks to their wide and solid hulls. This means that you as a paddler get more freedom during the trip itself, without risking the kayak capsizing. This is the reason why many choose to, for example, fish or swim from their sit on top kayaks.
The sit on top kayaks are more stable and more open than regular kayaks. They are also easier to get on and off, both from land and on the water. If you find yourself out at sea and manage to capsize, the low railing allows even lone beginners an easy route back into the safety of the kayak, where the kayak's drainage holes then quickly dry it out again. Good luck with your kayak purchase!
