The Native Watercraft Ultimate 12 kayak brings the tranquil experience of nearby waters within easy reach.

The Native Watercraft Ultimate 12 sit-on-top kayak is well-suited to fishing, photography and bird watching on lakes and slow moving water
Polyethylene construction offers performance and rugged durability
Part of what makes the Ultimate 12 so friendly to any paddler is the double-concave, "tunnel" hull that enhances stability
Low-profile sides resist high winds, and clutter free area directly in front of seat won't snag your fishing line
Concave foot wells offer a place to stand that puts your center of gravity close to the waterline, and makes it easy to sight cast or pole the kayak in shallow water
The seat on the Ultimate 12 features 2 layers of padding to enhance comfort on the water and an embroidered logo; Native calls this seating "First Class"
Elevating you above the point where water might collect, the seat consists of a UV- and water-resistant mesh stretched over an anodized aluminum frame
Seat back adjusts backward and forward, and seat pan provides 3 different levels of thigh support
Seat may be removed completely to lighten the kayak when loading on your vehicle or to use as a camp chair
Footbraces adjust forward and backward and can be completely removed to reduce snags
Elbow pads and knee pads enhance the comfort in the cockpit
Soft handles at bow and stern

Made in USA.

Comments about Native Watercraft Ultimate 12 Kayak:

This is my first Kayak and the last brand I'll ever buy. If something happens to mine I'll get another Ultimate 12. Easy and Stable enough for me to put my tripod and camera in and get some great wildlife and landscape shots. It's extremely stable, enough to stand in. Easy to paddle and pretty fast. I love mine. Wouldn't trade it for anything. It's like a Kayak/Canoe Hybrid. I'd definitely recommend this to photographers and fisherman. It's a little heavy but you'll love the removable beach like chair you can remove and sit on at the beach or sandbar. It's GREAT!
