How to choose the right boat

Jak si vybrat loď

You don’t need to know all kayak types or deal with technical specs.
Just answer 3 simple questions — and within a few clicks, you’ll know.

Most importantly: you’ll choose a boat you’ll truly enjoy on the water.

Ready?
Let’s go.

Go to the Boats page and open the filter.

Just follow these 3 simple steps:

 

1. What do you want to experience on the water?

Choose the scenario that fits you best. You can select more than one option.

I want a relaxed river trip with friends and just enjoy it – boats for shared experiences
I want to explore new places and travel – boats for travellers
I want a workout and a sporty ride – boats for urban sport

Each of these options leads you to a different type of boat — and that’s exactly why this is the first step.

 

2. How long do you want to be on the water?

Are you going for a few hours, a weekend, or a multi-day adventure?

Because regular short paddles require something different than a two-week expedition. You can choose multiple options here as well.

A few hours
Weekend
Several days

 

3. What’s your experience level?

Just starting out? Then stability and easy handling are key.
Already experienced? You probably have a longer list of requirements. Let’s go.

Beginner
Advanced – I already have some experience

 

Still not sure? Here’s a quick guide:

Going with a group → you’ll want stability and space

Looking for speed and action → choose a shorter, more agile boat
Swing 1; Rush 1, Rush 2

Planning a longer trip → focus on comfort and equipment
