The ultimate expedition platform, the Cetus features a shallow 'V' hull and large, rounded chines smoothly transitioning in to a slender bow and stern, allowing it to track well and cover distance comfortably, but also swing around nimbly on edge, all whilst being remarkably stable no matter what the ocean throws at you; if you've ever wondered how your favourite sea kayaking photographer gets such crisp shots whilst on the water, the answer is probably a Cetus.
The hull performance of the Cetus only improves as you load it up, with its 4 hatch configuration enabling the versatile and balanced distribution of gear; pairing this with unparalleled outfitting comfort makes the Cetus the perfect boat in which to discover and fully appreciate the unique environments sea kayaking has to offer, rounding out the day in the tranquillity of a remote camping spot, and having the range and capacity to do it all over again the day after, and for several weeks after that, depending on your ambitions.
This is a fully customisable composite kayak. It is available in 3 volumes (Low, Medium and High) and 5 constructions listed below, as well as having countless options for colour/design, which can be explored in P&H's customiser. It has many options for steering control (coming stock with a skeg if no option chosen), can be setup with a compass and automatic bilge pump, and can be reinforced in many different areas if you wish. Give us a call if you have any questions about availability and pricing of customisations.
- The fairly wide hull means rock solid stability whether you're travelling loaded or not.
- Smaller and lighter paddlers will benefit from the fit and responsiveness of the LV.
- The load carrier of choice, the Cetus HV lets you travel self-supported in comfort with the four hatches it has plenty of storage for equipment.
- A fast, efficient sea kayak that makes open water crossings a joy and will have you at the horizon in no time.
