There are certain products in this world that just flat “nail it,” when it comes to meeting the public’s expectations.

The Santee 116 is a rare find in recreational kayaks, as it offers outstanding stability without sacrificing the ability to turn easily and track well. The Santee 116 is the kayak our competition hates to see you test ride at demos. After the first paddle strokes, they know you’ll be amazed with our Santee 116. The Swede-form design, coupled with the crisp entry lines of the Santee 116 bow, make this kayak more efficient than other kayaks in its class. This means you’ll cruise the rivers, backwaters and lakes with less effort, while still feeling stable and comfortable. The Santee 116 has front and rear hatches with sealed bulkheads for superior floatation and convenient storage for your day tripping. We consider the Santee 116 to be the true “sport utility” boat in our fleet. It is a pleasure to paddle for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.
