Add my wife and our four-year-old son to the equation, all the stuff we bring on a typical outing – and, well, you do the math.Īs impressive as it might seem on paper, 450-pound maximum weight capacity won’t be enough to meet my family’s needs.
I’m a pretty big guy myself, weighing over 200 pounds. Fishing gear, camping gear, water bottles, snacks, paddles, toys for the little ones or pets – you get the idea. You’re planning to fit three adults – or two adults and a kid or pet, whatever your preferences might be.Įither way, you better make sure that the kayak has the capacity to hold all of you.Īnd don’t get me started on the gear-and-supplies part. However, don’t forget the basics factors like the materials used in the construction and choosing a suitable type of kayak for your intended use still matter. I’m about to walk you through the process of selecting a so-called “triple kayak” and discuss the kayak’s capacity, size, weight, and portability – things like that. Squeezing three adults into a tandem kayak is usually a recipe for a pretty uncomfortable, sardines-in-a-can experience. It all depends on the carrying capacity, size, and seating arrangement, though.īut as far as tandems go, I’d generally only recommend bringing a child – or a dog – onboard as your third passenger.
So we all know about solo or tandem kayaks but, is there a kayak for 3 people – and, if not, can you fit three people in a double kayak instead?Īs you’re about to see, most kayaks offer the two-adults-plus-child configuration.
