If you like to see your marine life in their natural environment rather than on the end of a rod and reel, this take on glass-bottomed tourist vessels is sure to float your boat. Called the Transparent Canoe Kayak, it features a sturdy see-through shell made of the same polymer used for cockpit canopies on supersonic fighter jets – providing you with an undisturbed underwater vista as you paddle.
With a lightweight anodized aluminum frame that is easy to transport and maneuver, the Transparent Canoe Kayak causes minimal disturbance to the aquatic environment – providing a panoramic view of underwater ecosystems in their natural state.
Featuring a wide design that displaces more water than regular kayaks, the Transparent Canoe Kayak seats both yourself and a fellow paddler lower down in the deck too – providing extra stability, balance and ensuring confident canoeing. The vessel also features adjustable seating to accommodate people of varying heights.
Including two double-headed paddles, two flotation devices and a water bailer (in case you rock the boat or hit a wave), the Transparent Canoe Kayak is made in the USA, has a 425 pound capacity (including your picnic cargo or uncovered treasure), measures 33.5″ wide x 133″ long x 11″ deep, weighs 40 lbs and is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $1,600.
