The Kaskazi Dorado is a specialist composite kayak designed for fishing. It is a sit on top configuration to provide freedom of movement and is fitted as standard with all rigging required for fishing. It has a large fish box, load bay accommodating a plastic crate, fishing rod holders, paddle holder and anchor attachment lines. The Dorado's volume provides exceptional load carrying capacity and stability and it is long enough to provide a good turn of speed.

The Dorado is specially designed for fishing, spear fishing and snorkelling and is without peer in this category. The Dorado's speed and load carrying capacity make it a great kayak for expeditions - especially fishing or diving! It is so easy to paddle it is great for day tripping and fun paddling.

The hull is chined providing a feel and performance similar to a true sea kayak. With the Dorado you get stability from the width and low centre of gravity and speed from the composite materials, hull design, stiffness and length. This is the top of the line fishing kayak and will handle any conditions that you take it out in ( subject to your own ability ). Get there first and be comfortable while you're out there.

The finishing on these kayaks is exceptional, definitely amongst the best composite kayaks we have seen.

The manufacturer of Kaskazi Kayaks says:

"The fibreglass hand lay-up ensures strength and durability, and the internal finish is smooth. We do not cover it with a paint layer, as all that does is hide bad workmanship, and make any subsequent repairs more difficult and time consuming. The weight we advertise is the final weight of the kayak, our competitors often like quoting the bare-boat weight."
