Do you like paddling solo – but sometimes want to paddle with a friend? The Oru folding tandem kayak can seat 2 people, but you can also use it as a single person kayak too.
1. Use the Tandem Kayak for 1 or 2 People:
This 2-seater costs less than buying 2 Beach Kayaks, plus it requires less storage space. You always have space for another person, but you don’t need 2 people to paddle this boat.
Can 1 Person Use a 2-Person Kayak? Yes! Used as a single-person kayak, this boat rides like a canoe, and you’ll have a ton of space for cargo. Something to think about if you enjoy fishing, remote camping, etc..
However, the Haven TT tandem kayak measures 16 feet long, which can be more challenging to turn and navigate in narrow waterways than 12 or 10 foot kayaks. That said, the slim design can help with speed and tracking.
2. The Haven has Comfortable Seats & a Spot for Your Fishing Rod:
The Haven TT comes with the same design as the shorter models, but with an extended length. Therefore, you still get the comfort features: adjustable backrests, padded seats and adjustable footrests.
Note: In addition, the Haven includes a handy integrated rail system. Now, you have a spot to attach fishing rods, camera mounts, cup holders and more. That’s right – these kayaks aren’t made for only paddling.
3. This Double Kayak is Great for Adults, Kids, Beginners & Pets:
Two adults can use this kayak (weight limit is 500 lbs), but kids can use it as well. It’s also a great 2-person boat for beginners due to its stability. In fact, the Haven TT is the most stable model in Oru’s line of kayaks.
The large open cockpit also makes it easier to get in and out of this boat – similar to a canoe. This design works great for pets too – not to mention the stability factor.
4. Compact Design Makes the Haven Kayak Easy to Travel with:
Note: Just like Oru’s other folding kayaks, the Haven folds up into a compact carrier, so it’s easier to travel with. Just stick it in the back of your car. No roof rack or trailer needed!
And although it does weigh 41 pounds, this double kayak is about half the weight of a traditional tandem kayak. The lighter weight makes it more portable, especially for kids or smaller adults.
Also, the exterior shell is ultra strong and durable (don’t let the light weight fool you!). This boat can slide over rocks, bump into boulders or logs and take a lot of abuse. It’s puncture and abrasion resistant, so you have less to worry about.
