The success of the proven Chesapeake hull shape led quickly to demands for similar tandem and three-person designs. The Chesapeake Double and Triple are high-volume touring boats, with a 700lb payload that belies their surprising speed. Even though these are substantial boats for serious expeditions, they are also comfortable day-trippers for families or couples. Our Chesapeake Double offers the back-country paddler expedition-worthy storage and the speed to cover 35 miles in a day.

Build this boat if:

  • You need a large, versatile, multi-paddler kayak for two or three paddlers
  • You’d like to carry a pet along with two paddlers
  • You need plenty of storage for camping
  • You need a support vessel for kayak tours
