Double Kayaks

Double Kayaks (also known as tandem kayaks) are a great way to team up with a friend or loved one and explore your waterways. By sharing the paddling responsibilities, you can cover more distance, making it easier to explore remote areas that are otherwise inaccessible.

Tandem kayaking for beginners

Tandem kayaking opens up a world of possibilities for beginners. If you're new to kayaking, teaming up with a more experienced partner can help you learn the ropes quickly or if you are both starting out, learning the ropes together will make the learning curve smoother and more enjoyable. 
Communication is key. You'll need to work in sync, coordinating your strokes to get the kayak moving. Like anything, practice makes perfect and starting out with shorter trips is a great way to get your rhythm going.
Double kayaks provide more room and stability than a single-person kayak and common designs include sit-on-top kayaks and sit-inside kayaks. Tandem kayaks tend to be both longer and wider compared to solo kayaks, offering greater load capacity and improved balance in the water. 

Can a double kayak be used by one person?

Many double kayaks (particularly some of the inflatable kayaks) can change the seat positions so that you can use only 1 seat in the middle instead of 2 meaning that you can paddle as a solo or tandem. Kayaks such as the Convertible Elite from Advanced Elements make this happen in seconds meaning you almost get 2 kayaks for the price of one.
