GP & Recreational Kayaks are suitable for a wide range of uses and locations. Whether it is pottering about at the beach, your local lake or canal or maybe exploring placid rivers you will find a kayak suitable for you here.

General Purpose (GP) kayaks are usually designed for use on flat water but with the right experience can be used on moving water up to grade 2. Recreational tourers are designed primarily for flat water use and are ideal for taking in short trips.

A Recreational Kayak is a special type of kayak that is designed for the casual paddler interested in fishing, photography, or a peaceful paddle on a lake or flatwater stream; they presently make up the largest segment of kayak sales. Compared to other kayaks, recreational kayaks, are characterized by having larger a cockpit opening for easy entry and exit and a wider beam (27–30 inches) for more stability on the water and are generally less than twelve feet in length, which makes them slower than a longer boat would be, but lighter, easier to handle in and out of the water, and less expensive. Due to the wider hull, recreational kayaks will not track (maintain a straight line) as well as longer, narrower models. They generally have limited cargo carrying capacity. Using less expensive materials like rotomoulded polyethylene and including fewer options helps keep these boats inexpensive.
