Stable, comfortable, and well-mannered, the Pinguino is great for fishing, bird watching and photography. She is the perfect kayak for messing about in mild rivers, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and coast.

This double ended rowing skiff is a versatile craft to enjoy alone or with your favourite partner out for a little fishing or an evening of conversation.

Derived from traditional Norwegian small craft, this handsome double-ender performs as well as a daysailer and beach cruiser.
