Sit-on Kayaks vs Sit-in Kayaks

Sit-on Kayaks

  • Greater Stability on flat water than sit-in.
  • Relatively easy to get in and out (including on the water).
  • Freedom of movement.
  • Large storage areas on the deck, easily accessible.
  • Best for fishing and surfing.
  • Exposed to the elements (sun, cold, water, etc).
  • Exposed to wave splash and constant drip from the paddle.
  • Slower than sit-in kayak.
  • You will always have a wet bottom from sitting in small amount of water.

Sit-in Kayaks

  • Faster and easier to paddle than most sit-on kayaks.
  • You stay relatively dry.
  • Protected from the elements (sun, cold, rain, etc).
  • Designed for covering longer distances.
  • Dry storage areas for equipment.
  • Best for day trips and touring.
  • Can be difficult to get in and out (especially on the water).
  • May require a spray skirt in rough water.
  • Smaller cockpits.
  • Movement is restricted and you cannot easily change positions.
  • In hot weather a sit-in can get very warm under the deck, especially when using a spray skirt.
  • Minimal access to items placed on back deck (back part of kayak) and no access to items in dry storage.
