Delta Kayaks 17 with Skeg
Delta Kayaks 17 with Skeg
Set your sights on distant horizons with the Delta Kayaks 17 with Skeg, where performance meets poise. Born to traverse calm lakes, extended coastal routes, or playful ocean swells, this touring kayak blends refined tracking and responsive handling with intuitive comfort for everyday adventurers and seasoned paddlers alike. Glide with confidence, explore with ease, and let every paddle stroke tell a new story.
Forged for performance touring, the Delta 17’s v-shaped hull, pronounced chine, and moderate rocker create a fluid, efficient ride through flat water and rolling swells. Its well-balanced design transitions smoothly to edge and holds course with precision — a hallmark of a kayak built for exploration and exhilaration.
Feel the difference with a Spring Loaded Skeg System tucked neatly below deck. Deploy it incrementally to fine-tune tracking in crosswinds or currents without affecting your steering — preserving the pure joy of paddling straight and true.
Comfort and smart outfitting make long days on the water more enjoyable. The Contour II multi-position seat system adapts to your posture, while the Press-Lock hatch system and front deck Day-Pod keep gear accessible and secure. Thoughtful touches like dual-density soft-grip handles and recessed bungee risers speak to careful design that’s as practical as it is adventure-ready.
