JOBE Inflatable Kayak Tasman Package is made for long, leisurely trips on lakes, ponds and sheltered coastal waters, with enough speed to make meters without compromising stability. The long, slender 440 by 81.5 cm hull glides smoothly and course-holding, while the drop-stitched floor with 3 mm EVA deck provides rigidity and comfort. The tarpaulin bottom can take a beating on beach starts and shallow shores, and three high-pressure valves allow you to quickly inflate the kayak to the right pressure. The open-top design makes boarding easy, even with vest or drybag, and four handles help with carrying and launching. With a carrying capacity of up to about 210 pounds, you'll still sail solo with lots of gear or with two people efficiently and low in effort, which is nice during longer day trips and changing winds.

The Tasman Package comes complete so you can get on the water right away: two adjustable seats with Velcro attachments, two four-piece fiberglass paddles with nylon blades, an EZ-LOCK snap fin for course keeping, hand pump, repair kit and a sturdy carry bag for transport and storage. Bungee attachments and front and rear splash panels keep gear in place and limit splashing water in chop. On Dutch water, you especially notice how forgiving and quiet the kayak sails; minor course corrections suffice, and in wind gusts or passing ship waves, the boat remains calm without sudden tipping behavior. After the trip, you quickly rinse off salt and sand and let the air out via the drain plug and spacious valves, so that everything can be packed compactly into the car. Anyone looking for a durable, ready-to-use kit that combines stability, boating efficiency and convenience will find a partner for many seasons in the JOBE Tasman. A sturdy and reliable choice for those who want carefree enjoyment on the water.
