Description
The Explorer is a flat bottom, open top kayak designed to effortlessly carve through calm, flat water. It's design makes it ideal for people who are looking for fun on rivers, lakes and flat waters and is suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. We have made the new model slightly wider making it more stable than ever. The Explorer comes with luggage straps at the front and rear so it has plenty of room for dry bags and gear for your day on the water.
Just like the Optimal, the Explorer is inflatable but designed to feel just like a solid kayak with no compromise in performance. What’s more, it is more affordable than the equivalent hard kayaks on the market.
The Explorer comes with two removable seats, two 4-piece paddles, wheel bag as well as a removable skeg to add speed and stability. Following feedback from our original models these accessories have been upgraded for greater comfort and performance,
The explorer is available as a single or double seater.
NEW UPGRADE AVAILABLE: Upgrade to a 4 piece fibreglass paddle for just £50.00 per paddle

Customer Reviews
We are new to kayaking, so did plenty research and opted for the sandbanks explorer. Quick delivery, and fantastic kayak. absolutely love it. Seems to be exceptionally well made, and I guess you get what you pay for. 10/10 love it that much I think I will buy a single kayak just for me when the wife and dog can’t come out.
I'm 60 in a few month, not been in a canoe since I was 15years old, due to my size I've looked carefully for mid range kayaks, i wanted one big enough to take the grandkids, so looked for a double ... heck its some size :) Ordering and Delivery was flawless, I had the Kayak in 3 working days, even up here in the far north, today is the first time out, just a quickie after work, as a first time Kayaker some instruction in the box would have been nice, photo is under inflated, better after I put it up to pressure. even rescued a football and never fell in :) Nice stable kayak, I'd recommend to anyone.
Purchased our double seater Explorer kayak last year and used it frequently throughout 2022 and now for the first time in 2023. It's been great on the local rivers on the south coast and also at sea. Here's to some more good weather and kayaking in 2023!
I can find little, if any, fault with this Kayak. I can honestly say it is brilliant and worth every penny. It is quick and easy to inflate, comes in a good bag with wheels for easy transportation, cuts through the water effortlessly, keeps a straight track and feels incredibly stable especially when climbing in and out. We have used it on calm rivers and open broads in Norfolk in strong winds and it coped effortlessly in the choppy waters with the wind head on, side on and behind us. It stayed oncourse and was not blown about by the wind even a little. The ease of paddling this kayak along with the good quality, high backed, comfortable seats have enabled us to travel for longer periods than with our previous inflatable Kayak. There is ample space inside, more than enough room for my husband who is 6ft, 2in and myself to stretch out, footrests supplied, and still plenty of room for anything else you may want to take along on your trip. The quality is excellent, it looks awesome and we have had no end of people asking us about it when they see us with it out on the water. One thing to note is the kayak is long so turning tight corners takes a little preparation. Never did I think we would, at 62 years of age, be overtaking other paddlers on the water. Customer service great with next day delivery. Happy, contented paddlers we are in this super boat.
