Native Watercraft Marvel 12 Recreational Kayak

Kayaks & Boating > KayaksRated: ***** by 2 reviews.

SummitOnline.com (2009)

The Marvel 12 provides plenty of capacity for a large adult. This hybrid sit inside kayak feels at home on the rivers and open water, and offers more comfort and outfitting flexibility than other sit insides on the market. Its storage hatch rim and lid weigh half that of conventional systems and are amazingly easy to open and re-seal. The seat connection is secure but easy to release by lifting the seat tab and pushing the seat forward. The seat height can be set prior to installation. The seat removes quickly and easily to make the boat lighter when loading or unloading. Thigh pads allow paddlers to rest comfortably against the cockpit rim, and pad the shoulder during transportation.

Slide the adjustable seat back on the Native Watercraft Marvel 12 Recreational Kayak to make room for your pup, hop in, adjust the foot braces, and set out on a water adventure that doesn’t leave your pooch behind. If your dog isn’t the boat type, just pack the Marvel 12 with fishing gear or your photography equipment. Thigh pads on the sides of the cockpit prevent the gunnel from digging into your legs, and the First Class seat actually removes for easy boat-loading and doubles as a bench seat at local games.

Watercraft Marvel

Rating:*****

I bought two Native Watercraft Marvel 10s from backcountry - one for me and one for my girlfriend. We love them! Very roomy and stable with lots of room for storage. The large open cockpit is easy to get in and out of and very comfortable for crusing around. The best feature is the seat - it's amazingly comfortable - just like they say - the best Kayak seat out there. Backcountry.com was great to deal with. I also have a Native Manta Ray 12 that I use for fishing. I would highly recommend Native Watercraft and Backcountry to anyone looking for a kayak.
