A fast and stable boat constructed of thermoformed plastic, a lightweight, stiff material superior to polyethylene. Stiffness improves efficiency and extends the boat's life span; its weight makes it super-easy to load on and off your car. The 116 is significantly lighter than the 126. Rear bulkheaded hatch and small bulkheaded front hatch, deck bungees, and very comfortable high-back seat. 116 cockpit is smaller and allows braced-knee or free-knee positions (fits small-to-medium paddlers); 116 Sport cockpit is larger and longer so you can keep your knees free (fits the small-to-large paddler; not recommended for the larger paddler).
Staff Member/Instructor/Guide Dan says:
How could you consider the Pungo, Manitou, or Dirigo without trying the 116 or 116 Sport? The material is superior and the weight is significantly lower.

The sea kayak for small folks! The smallest of the Currituck line, the Mystic is a fully outfitted sea kayak with front, rear, and day hatches, full deck outfitting, and a wonderful cockpit fit. Smaller paddlers may find this boat is faster for them than a longer kayak, and it's certainly more maneuverable and lighter. Edges very nicely and feels oh-so-smooth in the water. The "Fiberglass" version is currently out of stock.
Staff Member Dan says:
This boat is unique, and so many really small adults get in it and say "Finally, a boat that FITS!" Don't think that a 16-foot boat will necessarily be faster — often a smaller paddler will do better in a smaller boat.

One of the sportiest recreational kayaks available. Stable and quite maneuverable, yet speedy. Cockpit can fit snugly or with knees loose. With bulkheaded rear hatch, deck bungees, and a comfortable, very adjustable seat. Fiberglass version is lighter, stiffer, and performs better! Fits a variety of paddler sizes.
Staff Member Chris says:
A fun little boat that is great for lots of different sized paddlers. You can put a child in this boat and they can handle it as well as a medium-large adult, so it's perfect for a family to share. I took two on a 13-mile trip with a friend down the Saco. They are drama-free, light and manageable on a roof, and will actually respond to being leaned.
