Key Features
YOUR TRUSTED EXPEDITION KAYAK PARTNER
The Expedition 2 sit-inis the fastest and ultimate touring kayak of the Bay Sports family of sea kayaks.
It was built for multi-day adventures, speed and capable of long distance paddling.
Compared to it's younger sibling the Expedition 1, it adds an extra 13 cm of length + an extra watertight storage compartment conveniently located directly in front of the cockpit, making this sea kayak the ultimate expedition tourer for weekend getaways and exploring.
Design & Construction
Designed by renowned Swedish kayak designer Björn Thomasson, the Expedition 2 is the longer, faster brother to the Expedition 1, made for adventures great and far.
An extra 13cm of length and 4cm of width gives the Expedition 2 its position as a true expedition kayak.
It is made with our signature 3-Layer foam core, sandwiched between high-grade UV16 stabilised HDPE, make this kayak lighter and stronger than regular polyethylene construction alone.
A V-shaped hull with hard chine, and little rocker, easily cuts through water whilst deep grooved hull lines provide for excellent tracking.
The streamlined shape of this kayak is the basis for its speed and steadiness, and with our premium foot-controlled rudder system, makes for easy manoeuvrability even with cross winds or stronger ocean currents.
Build Quality
The build quality is the best in class, with no traces of air bubbles inside the UV stabilised plastic walls, meaning your kayak is superior in durability and won't crack like brittle plastic kayaks prone to air bubbles, due to poor quality control.
Every single Expedition kayak is tested to ensure 3.5mm thickness, drop tested to ensure perfect plastic bond, balance tested for optimal stability, and water tested to ensure perfect seals. So rest assured your kayak will last for years to come.

“After a lot of research on similar looking kayaks, I picked Bay and the product is clearly superior. I collected mine as I am local, but their postage rates Australia wide are really reasonable. Can't recommend the guys at Bay Kayaks more."

“I've been searching around online for a sit on kayak for the whole family, I came across Bay Sports and the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. I must say the quality of the kayak was noticeably better than the one I saw in Anaconda, and the price was comparable. Will be recommending friends and family your way! Thank you again"
