Long-Distance Power Meets Coastal Playfulness

Whether you’re slicing across glassy lakes, catching the rhythm of ocean swells, or embarking on extended multi-day journeys, the Delta 17 with Rudder is built for the bold. Fast, graceful, and adventure-ready, this touring kayak blends expert design with comfort-focused features to give experienced paddlers the freedom to go farther, faster, and with total control.

At 17 feet, this kayak offers a long waterline for efficient cruising, while its V-shaped hull, moderate rocker, and pronounced chines deliver both exceptional tracking and easy edge transitions. In surf, it’s confident and playful. In wind and chop, it’s steady and composed—helped by the integrated rudder for reliable directional control. With Delta’s proprietary Press-Lock Hatch System, dual dry storage compartments, and a convenient Day-Pod up front, you’ve got all the room you need for expedition gear, safety essentials, and trail snacks.

Comfort on long paddles is a must, and the Delta 17 has your back—literally—with the multi-position Contour II Seat System. Soft-grip dual-density handles and innovative bungee risers round out the features, making life on and off the water easier. This is a touring kayak that doesn’t ask you to compromise—it just asks where you’re headed next.
