An ideal kayak for those cruisey journeys on the water.

  Venture Logo

A longer kayak is a faster kayak, allowing you to cover larger distances; the Islay 14 is an adventure touring kayak with a length similar to that of a sea kayak, but in a format that offers a little more stability and manoeuvrability.

Ideal for beginners and intermediates who want to try their hand at cosy weekend adventures and relaxed journeys of up to a week in length on canals, sheltered lakes, and gentle rivers.

Ideal for the following:

  • Medium to long distance journeys

  • Exploring lakes and gentle rivers with ease and the confidence to take photos from the kayak

  • The best combination of hull efficiency, speed, and a manageable size

Weight: 25.5 kg

Have Kayaks. Have adventure.

Our Venture kayaks made it our remote little place in Marlborough Sounds. Thanks for the great job packing them and sorting out the logistics. You all rock. We hit the water today and won’t be looking back.
