Expedition proven sit-on-top tourer. A very pretty mid volume single sea tourer - designed as a very stable sit-on-top platform for fishing, flyfishing, snorkeling, diving, bird and wildlife watching or camping trips, while still maintaining the dimensions and performance required for an expedition sea kayak. The Marlin was the first Kaskazi kayak to be used for fishing and was the inspiration for the world leading Dorado. This wonderful kayak is a superb, lightweight, touring kayak with a huge payload and remarkable rough water manners.
As a tourer is how the kayak was conceived. Weighing just 23kgs she is also very popular with ladies as she is so light to put on the roofrack or handle ashore and is so quick and nimble on the water. Large stowage hatches with neoprene seals to hard hatch covers make the Marlin a very capable touring kayak. All your camping gear, even water if you have to carry it in, will just disappear into the cavernous holds with the custom crate and day hatch to store readily accessible items. In keeping with the Kaskazi tradition, the Marlin is fast, incredibly stable and supremely comfortable with her spacious seatwell. A properly designed and built sea kayak for going places and even having fun in the surf. This kayak is capable of handling extreme conditions with ease and has a payload of 180kgs, making it a real mule of the sea, only a lot faster.
The extremely comfortable seat and incredible stability soon found favour with offshore fishermen and spearfishers. For the catch and release lure or fly fishing practitioner this is possibly the best kayak available. The clean, spacious cockpit means an end to fly lines becoming tangled in deck furniture.
For the fisherman there are flush mounted rod holders with leashing points which angle the rods out of the paddle arc, so as to maintain the legendary speed of the Kaskazi kayaks. In addition there are no fewer than 3 anchor/drogue attachment hauls making it easy to anchor the kayak exactly how you want it to sit, or to set up the perfect drift over a fish holding area using one of our Kaskazi drogues which are designed specifically for the purpose. The custom crate is just as useful for day paddlers for stowing items that you need access to on the water, as it is for stowing fishing gear and your anchor.
Whether you are fishing, touring or just having fun, the Marlin paddles like a dream and catches and runs with waves, staying on line, regardless of the wind direction, thanks to the Kaskazi hull shape and rudder system. The combination of the V-hull, soft chines and very low wetted surface gives a remarkably fast and responsive kayak with incredible stability. The kayak offers a very dry ride, even in choppy conditions, and has excellent handling on downwind runs. The Marlin is suitable for everything from day trips to extended ocean paddling and can even be built to take the Kaskazi delta sail rig. It is probably the most versatile kayak built, anywhere.
