Used Tandem Kayaks for Sale: Two-Person Seascape Expedition

Our Fall-Winter used kayak sale has begun and prices on two of the Seascape Expeditions have just been reduced.

The Seascape Expedition is the finest expedition grade tandem kayak ever made. They feature the best balance between speed, manoeverability, and stability ever devised. Their durability is legendary and makes them the favorite of outfitters and expeditioners who need and demand the utmost dependability. The Expedition is the top-of-the-line double kayak model within the Seascape design family, widely recognized as the best group of two-person kayaks ever built.

Seascape Expedition Tandem by Northwest Kayaks

The Seascape Expeditions retails for $4350 when new so our prices for lightly used double kayaks are truly a bargain. We have a couple of Seascape Expeditions selling for $3099 that have been used only 8 months and you can choose between either a glacier blue or Caribbean green deck. We have a couple more that have been used for only 4 months at a price of $3399 with either Aztec yellow, oyster white, glacier blue, or Caribbean green decks. They all still posses a sparkling finish on the topsides. These kayaks have some expensive upgraded features included, including more reliable fiberglass bulkheads that provide greater hull strength, and comfortable custom backbands that replace the stock backrests. Their hulls are all oyster white and feature black trim (as shown in the photos).

The Seascape Expedition double kayak features a large cargo capacity and a long, graceful waterline. The speedy design makes it ideal for either extended trips with full loads or short day paddles. The hull features a modified-V bottom with soft chines, the same design that is used in today's highest performance solo kayaks. This hull shape allows the Seascape Expedition to handle just about any water conditions from open ocean, outer coast, calm inland lakes, to Class 2 rivers. They are one of the few tandems that can still move fast and remain highly maneuverable in rough waters as they can slice through and over waves instead of bogging down.

The Seascape design family includes three fundamental models: the Seascape II, Seascape Expedition, and Seascape .5 ("Point 5"). The various Seascapes are the favorite of tour companies and outdoor programs throughout the world thanks to their excellent performance, quality workmanship, and durability. Like most top-quality kayaks of the modern era, all Seascapes have watertight compartments in the bow and stern separated from the main hold by bulkheads. This provides convenient storage for your gear, but more importantly, it ensures vital buoyancy in an emergency.

For those seeking the greatest safety level available, you should know that the Expedition model features more than just the standard bow and stern compartments. There is also a high volume airtight compartment in the center of the boat that doubles the buoyancy found in most tandem designs. A center hatch provides easy access to this completely separate bulkheaded compartment. Besides greatly improving floatation safety, this huge storage area protects your gear from getting wet, and provides much greater rigidity and strength to the hull. The most responsible kayaking outfitter companies always choose the Expedition model if they paddle on anything but the calmest lakes. Here at Sea Quest we feel our guests deserve the highest level of safety and convenience possible, so we only use Seascape Expeditions, even if it costs us a larger investment in equipment.

Although we like all of the Seascape models, we believe that each model has its own particular niche for differing water conditions. Which is right for you? Do you paddle paddle primarily in cold water? If so, you should opt for the added safety of the Seascape Expedition with its extra bulkheads and floatation. With proper practice, capsized kayakers using the Expedition can rescue themselves quickly, even in very rough water, thereby reducing exposure to hypothermia. If you paddle only in warm waters with little risk of hypothermia, then the Seascape II or Seascape .5 may suffice. On a related note, we thoroughly tested the Seascape .5 for a full year and determined that it is too short for use on open marine waters or other bodies that are prone to choppy wave conditions. We recommend the "Point 5" only for paddling on small lakes with warm water where it works extremely well as a speedy and stable substitute for the traditional canoe.

Seascape Expedition kayaks cost $4350 when new so our prices for lightly used kayaks are a great deal! For another $299 we can add a set of Werner paddles, Extrasport life jackets, and Snap Dragon spray skirts for two persons. See our Used Kayaking Equipment for Sale page for more details. The total package is about half of the retail cost when new. Although the kayaks have been used from 8 to 12 months they still possess a lifetime of usefulness. Remember, our Seascape kayaks are always used under careful supervision by our guides, are never rented, and are never abused or damaged. They are in beautiful condition!
