At a glance
• smooth tracking due to integrated keel
• especially stable due to wide construction
• suitable for 2–3 persons
• plenty of space for luggage or equipment
• easy to handle even for beginners
With its 96 cm wide hull, the kayak sits very calmly in the water and is particularly stable against tipping. Getting in and out at the shore, short stops or relaxed sitting are therefore much more comfortable than in narrower kayaks.
The stable drop-stitch floor additionally provides a firm and secure feeling on the water.
Robust construction & safety
The 0.9 mm thick PVC material is particularly durable and designed for typical leisure and outdoor use. Tours with a dog are also easily possible with normal handling.
For additional safety, the Prestige 490 features 3 separate air chambers. This safety principle is also used in many inflatable boats and provides reassuring security on the water.
Quick to set up
The kayak is ready for use in approx. 9 minutes and can be transported compactly in a car.
Packed size when folded: approx. 80 × 53 × 38 cm.
Ideal for spontaneous trips, vacations or camping.
After the tour, it can be folded up to save space and easily stored at home.
