Delta Kayaks 14 with Rudder

A kayak that genuinely bridges the gap between nimble day-tripper and capable expedition boat is a rare thing, and the Delta 14 earns that description without any asterisks.

Sitting between Delta's light-touring models and their longer performance kayaks, the 14 was designed to deliver sea kayak tracking and hull speed in a shorter, lighter package. The moderate V hull and long waterline keep things stable and predictable in rough water, while defined secondary stability makes edging feel solid and controlled rather than tentative. It is a boat that suits a wide range of paddler sizes and skill levels, and one that tends to surprise people with how much it handles like something considerably longer.

Storage is a legitimate strength. Three Press-Lock thermoform hatch covers seal a bow, stern, and centre day hatch that together rival the capacity of many 17-foot sea kayaks. The Contour Seat System adjusts four inches fore and aft for precise trim, with a padded seat pan, adjustable backrest, and integrated thigh braces rounding out an outfitting package that holds up over long days on the water. At Frontenac Outfitters, all Delta 14s come standard with the Seadog gas pedal style rudder system, which lets you brace and steer independently without compromising either. Built in Maple Ridge, British Columbia using thermoformed ABS and Acrylic with UV-resistant Solarkote finish, the Delta 14 carries that Canadian-made quality you can feel the moment you pick it up.
