The Venus 11™ from Ocean Kayak is the first sit-on-top kayak specifically designed for the average woman's build.

The Ocean Kayak Venus 11 works great for surfing, camping, nature watching, fishing, day paddling and photography on flat water, moderate ocean swells and slow rivers
Durable, linear polyethylene hull stands up to years of use
Rounded-V hull tracks well and turns easily; self-bailing scupper holes minimize water in boat
Seatwell maximizes an otherwise narrow beam to accommodate fuller hips and shorter arms; designed by women for women
Because a woman's low center of gravity does not require a deep seat for stability, seatwell is designed out of the water for a drier ride
Padded seat and backrest provide relief on long outings and adjusts easily; foot wells provide for shorter legs
6-in. center hatch with water-resistant toggled cover and inner storage bucket stores wallet, keys, ID and other small items
Deck area features a mount for your media player
Molded-in tankwell with adjustable gear straps, deck rigging and multiple accessory eyelets provide convenient options to stow and secure accessories
Carry handles are specifically designed to make putting the Venus 11 on top of your vehicle quick and easy
Includes bow and stern toggle handles, a paddle keeper, a threaded drain plug and molded-in graphics; beverage holder keeps liquid refreshment close-at-hand
To manage water flooding through scupper holes, Scupper Stoppers are available (sold separately); the Venus requires 5 large Scupper Stoppers
To help in the fight against breast cancer, 1% of Venus' gross sales will be donated to the Breast Cancer Fund

Made in USA.

Comments about Ocean Kayak Venus 11 Sit-On-Top Kayak:

This is my first kayak. I have a bad back so the low weight (compared to other kayaks) and adjustable seat helped me key in on the Venus. Even on my first trip (lake) I had no problems paddling or manuvering. Handles very well. The foot wells give me great support. Nicely positioned handles and plenty of places to hook your paddle or anything else you don't want to loose if you tip over (haven't yet). The water resistant compartment in the middle could be a bit bigger. Despite the low weight I was unable to get it on top of my truck alone. I solved this by purchasing a spring loaded rack that allows me to load and tie down on the side of my truck.
