Pelican   (Ask about the new Marlin version, a pelican with a bait locker, fishing rod holders and carry load basket (smaller and lighter version of the Dorado)

Expedition proven sit-on-top tourer. A very pretty mid volume single sea tourer - designed as a very stable sit-on-top platform for fishing, flyfishing, snorkeling, diving or camping trips while still maintaining the dimensions and performance required for an expedition sea kayak. The Pelican was the first Kaskazi kayak to be used for fishing and was the inspiration for the world leading Dorado. This wonderful kayak is a superb, lightweight, touring kayak with a huge payload and remarkable rough water manners. Two versions are available, a touring version or an angler version.

The tourer is how the kayak was conceived. Weighing just 23kgs she is very popular with ladies as she is so light to put on the roofrack or handle ashore. Large stowage hatches with rubber seals to hard hatch covers and deck rigging make the Pelican a very capable touring kayak, all your camping gear, even water if you have to carry it in, will just disappear into the cavernous holds with deck rigging to take care of any surplus.

In keeping with the Kaskazi tradition, the Pelican is fast, incredibly stable and supremely comfortable with her spacious seatwell. A properly designed and built sea kayak for going places and even having fun in the surf. This kayak is capable of handling extreme conditions with ease and has a payload of 180kgs, making it a real mule of the sea, only a lot faster.

The extremely comfortable cockpit and incredible stability soon found favour with offshore fishermen and spearfishers. For the catch and release lure or fly fishing practitioner this is the best kayak available. The clean, spacious cockpit means an end to fly lines becoming tangled in deck furniture. The deck rigging on the bow and just behind the seat is ample for taking a fly wallet and spare leader material. The angler version is equipped with rod holders and no fewer than 3 anchor/drogue attachment hauls making it easy to anchor the kayak exactly how you want it, or to set up the perfect drift over a fish holding area.

Whether you are fishing, touring or just having fun, the Pelican paddles like a dream and catches and runs with waves, staying on line, regardless of the wind direction, thanks to the Kaskazi hull shape and rudder system. The combination of the V-hull, soft chines and very low wetted surface gives a remarkably fast and responsive kayak with incredible stability. The kayak offers a remarkably dry ride, even in choppy conditions, and has excellent handling on downwind runs. Suitable for everything from day trips to extended ocean paddling and can even be built to take the remarkable Kaskazi delta sail rig.
