TK-1 MARLIN – touring kayak
Touring kayak with the speed of a racing boat
Marlin is one of the nimblest sea fish. It is no wonder why we named our boat Marlin. We implemented our experience in creating racing boats and produced a boat that was considered really fast among other touring vessels.
As an extra for your boat, you can also order storage compartments to enjoy a better feeling of comfort.
