Dagger - Trinidad - Double Sea Kayak

The Dagger Trinidad is a true master of the sea for all conditions, with a long waterline for greater speed and tracking. Both cockpits are roomy and comfortable for short and long term trips, and the three hatches/bulkheads make sure there is enough storage room for multi-day expeditions.

 

Before selling our tours business to Ocean Planet we used to have a fleet of Dagger Trinidads, which proved to be by far the best fleet we ever owned. Prior to that we had the Q-Kayak Wanderers which were simply no comparison and then the Perception Contour Tandems, which were far less efficient and less able to handle choppy conditions.
Over the years we did not have a single tour customer capsize in a Trinidad
(except the few who have done it deliberately :)

 

Standard Outfitting
All hatches with plastic hatch covers, Minicell bulkheads, deck lines & shock cord deck rigging, seat with adjustable backrest, easy adjustable footbraces, carrying toggles, flip rudder system.

This combination makes close coastal exploration easier and fun. Nimble for a double, and comfortably stable, the DoubleShot has sufficient storage capacity for day-trips and short multi-day expeditions, and offers exciting play opportunities for adventurous couples.
