Designed by women for women, the Necky® Eliza day touring kayak empowers amateur to seasoned female kayakers to paddle farther more efficiently.

  • With input from women coast to coast, Eliza is sized with the small to medium build woman in mind, for unmatched comfort and an ergonomic fit
  • Hull shape is optimized for near effortless paddling and gliding efficiency and provides confidence for maneuvering through wind and waves
  • Specially-designed cockpit is wider and shorter than standard touring boats with a lower deck height to easily accommodate the female torso
  • Shorter cockpit also makes it easier for women to attach and detach a spray skirt
  • Crafted from durable superlinear polyethylene for long-lasting service, easy care and reliable performance
  • Overall weight is just under 50 pounds making the Eliza much easier to manage both in and out of the water
  • Cockpit-deployable tracking rudder assists with steering via footpeg control; rubber rudder catcher and bungee secure rudder during transport
  • Adjustable, padded backband with forward-mounted seat adjustments; soft foam seat pad and adjustable foam thigh braces deliver a women's specific fit
  • Fully bulkheaded bow and stern hatches with small-hand friendly Cross Lock hatch covers provide generous dry cargo storage for day and overnight trips
  • Neoprene hatch seals under hatch covers help keep gear dry and protected
  • Bungee deck rigging secures extra gear on decks for easy access
  • Carry toggles at bow and stern allow easy portaging to and from the water; perimeter lines for safety and easier re-entry
  • To help in the fight against breast cancer, 1% of Eliza's gross sales will be donated to the Breast Cancer Fund

      Comments about Necky Eliza Kayak with Rudder:

      At 49 lbs I can lift and move this boat by myself. I didn't feel tippy in the ocean waves and it's fast on smooth water. I've had a blast with it so far and am looking forward to years of use out of it.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Necky Eliza Kayak with Rudder:

        This kayak was purchased for my 15 year old daughter, an experienced athletic kayaker. She says it is far superior in manouverability over her previous kayak. We were expecially impressed with the features versus price factor. An all around great kayak for the price.

          Comments about Necky Eliza Kayak with Rudder:

          This is my third kayak and I can't imagine one that would be better suited to my needs. I am 5'6" and just under 140 lbs. This boat is just right for my size. I paddle without my rudder on flat waters and in rivers. This kayak is very responsive to edging, and tracks fairly well. I do use my rudder in high sea swells and when I am paddling with a strong current. What a great boat!

          Horrible seat, zero customer support

          Pros

            Cons

            • Not Enough Storage
            • Terrible lumbar support
            • Uncomfortable seating

            Best Uses

            • None unless you like pain

            Comments about Necky Eliza Kayak with Rudder:

            I purchased this kayak last year and was thrilled with the way it looked. However, once on the water I realized, despite the claims of an adjustable seat, it offered zero support for the mid/lower back. When I wrote the company (twice) for guidance on seat alternatives, I received no response to my correspondence. I am an avid kayaker and will not buy from this company again.
