BoréalDesign

BoréalDesign is the leader in inland waterways and ocean travel when it comes to kayaks. Our kayaks are seen worldwide with a broad spectrum of distributors listing us amongst their key retail brands. We produce a wide variety of designs with skeg and rudder and we are the only ocean kayak brand that manufactures all three constructions: Rotomolded HDPE Thermoformed ABS Composite FG Hybrid.

Overview

The Esperanto is one of the fastest plastic tandems available. This kayak combines speed with ease of paddling, ensuring a comfortable and stable ride that can achieve impressive cruising speeds. Efficient turns are facilitated by a moderate rocker and a large rudder. The practical center compartment offers additional storage or can be customized with our optional child seat/bulkhead.
With well-spaced cockpits, paddlers can navigate at their own pace, minimizing the risk of accidental collisions between paddles. The Esperanto is the perfect choice for pairs with mixed abilities, families with young children, or extended expeditions requiring ample storage and displacement. Reflective deck lines are a standard safety feature on all our kayaks, visible in low light and night-time conditions. The Flex 4 Seats offer a tailored fit with adjustable height for both the seat base and backrest. Featuring a perforated base for efficient water drainage and covered in quick-drying Drytec fabric, it guarantees comfort and practicality for your kayaking adventures. Effortlessly enhance your kayaking experience with the BorealDesign large Tandem Rudder system, providing precise control and improved maneuverability for smoother navigation on the water.

What Users Are Saying

This tandem classic is both bombproof and forgiving for novice kayakers, while remaining fast and fun for experienced paddlers. Tons of room both on deck and below means completely kitted out weekend and longer expeditions are easily achievable.
