Kayaks for sale

Jackson All Water 10 (2 available)

Jackson Kayak's All Water is an excellent whitewater/touring hybrid design, intended to perform admirably on a wide range of water, from lakes and calm rivers to Class III+ whitewater. The All Water combines Jackson's proven expertise in an easy-to roll whitewater hull design with the storage capacity to allow for light overnight excursions, while the 10' length and retractable skeg improves glide and tracking on quieter waters.

Jackson's "Sweet Cheeks" inflatable beanbag seat offers a very comfortable ride, and the sealed rear hatch provides storage for your essential gear. If you're looking for one boat that can “do it all”, the All Water is an excellent choice.

Jackson All Water 10 - 2009 models – $750.00 (MSRP $999.00)

Jackson Day Tripper (4 available)

The innovative Day Tripper represents Jackson Kayak's out-of-the-box thinking applied to a recreational kayak design. With a huge open cockpit that provides tremendous carrying capacity, the Day Tripper is a great kayak for the recreational paddler that wants the room to pack a cooler and fishing tackle, or to bring along the kids or their pets, but prefers a kayak to a canoe. (These boats have been very popular with parents on our local tours).

The wide hull delivers excellent stability which makes it ideal as a fishing or photography platform, yet outfitted with an optional spray skirt the Day Tripper can handle light whitewater as well. The Day Tripper has won numerous kayak fishing competitions over the past several years, and Jackson offers various accessories that expand the capabilities of the boat.

We have several Day Trippers available in both 10' and 12' lengths. Identical with the exception of the length, the 10' version has a 300 lb. capacity and is slightly more maneuverable, while the 12' version can handle 400 lbs, and and delivers a touch more glide.

Jackson Day Tripper 10 – 2009 models - $475.00 (MSRP - $599.00)

Jackson Day Tripper 12 – 2008/2009 models - $550.00 (MSRP - $699.00)

Jackson Riviera Sit-on-top (4 available)

Perhaps the most comfortable sit-on-top design in existence, the Riviera is a great recreational kayak for day trips on both lakes and Class I/II rivers. These boats have become our most popular rental offering, as they are stable, quick and maneuverable, and an absolute blast to paddle. Offering an extremely shallow draft, the Riviera can also take fisherman into some remarkably remote locations.

With a 300 lb capacity and three different foot positions molded into the design, the Riviera will accommodate a wide range of paddlers, and no moving parts means minimal maintenance is required. The open deck with bungee cording at the stern provides a place for securing your gear.

Jackson Riviera -2008 models (2) - $345.00 (MSRP - $499.00)

Jackson Riviera (2009 models (2)) - $395.00 (MSRP - $499.00)

Canoes for Sale

Bell Northwind

Ted Bell's progressive, asymmetrical designs in canoe construction broke new ground, and Bell Canoe Works' Northwind is regarded by aficionados as among the finest canoe designs of all time. Bell canoes are known for their differential rocker (amount of curvature from the waterline at the bow and stern), which improves both tracking and handling capabilities, while the moderate tumblehome improves access to the water for relaxed, yet powerful, paddle strokes. The shallow-arch hull design delivers excellent secondary stability which is highly resistant to capsize.

The laminated Royalex construction is both lightweight (62 lbs) and amazingly durable. The Northwind is an outstanding, versatile canoe for many applications, whether that involves extended multi-day touring, day trips with an emphasis on fishing or photography, or properly outfitted, running remote rivers of up to Class III whitewater. While this is a tandem canoe, the Northwind is a surprisingly fun boat for the intermediate to advanced canoeist to paddle solo while kneeling just aft of center. With a length of 16 ½' and a carrying capacity approaching a half-ton, the Northwind is a phenomenal canoe that will excel at virtually every task it's charged with.

Sadly, Bell canoes are currently out of production, as the corporation that acquired Bell in 2006 mothballed operations early in 2011 and is now looking for a buyer. The explosive growth on the kayaking side of paddlesports has severely affected canoe sales over the past decade, and the falling sales numbers led the new owner to suspend production in order to focus on the more profitable aspects of their operations. Consequently, unless a new buyer is found and the brand is resurrected, Bell canoes are likely to maintain or even increase in value over the coming years.

Bell Northwind (2008/2009 Royalex models) - $1175.00 (MSRP - $1499.00)
