Yes, tandem kayaks from Brooklyn Kayak Company can also be paddled solo by sitting in the rear seat or in the middle (if available). Ensure that you balance the weight for optimal performance, such as adding gear to the used seat. Also, be prepared to put in more effort as a solo paddler, since a tandem is larger and heavier than a solo kayak.
Are tandem kayaks from BKC stable and safe for beginners?
Yes, Brooklyn Kayak Company tandem kayaks are designed to be highly stable thanks to their wide beams, hull shapes, and low center of gravity. They are an excellent choice for beginners (if they can handle the heavier weight) and for family outings. Whether you're a beginner, an expert, or part of a family, a tandem can be a great choice.
What fishing features do your tandem kayaks include?
Most models offer integrated rod holders, large storage hatches, molded footrests, ergonomic & adjustable seats, and flat deck spaces that enable stand-up fishing and easy gear storage. They also offer gear tracks for ultimate customization. All these features help anglers enjoy hands-free fishing and organize their tackle.
Can three people fit on a tandem kayak?
Yes, most of our models can fit 2-3 people (or a pet!). In particular, our Brooklyn 13.0 Pro Tandem and Brooklyn 12.5 Tandem are designed to include a third passenger. Whether it is a small child or a furry champion, it can be nice to have room to shuttle more bodies around.
Can I get a tandem kayak with a pedal drive or motor?
Yes, we offer a range of models with pedal or motor options. We have 12.5, 13ft, and 14 foot options that come with pedal drive systems. We also have a 14-foot motorized ‘yak that is ready to take on your biggest angling adventure. Most of our kayaks come prepared to accept a trolling motor, so that you can customize. Please review all our tandem kayak descriptions to see which ones can support a pedal drive or trolling motor.
