What is a Sit-On-Top Kayak? Sit-On-Top kayaks feature an open cockpit, which makes entering and exiting the kayak easier, even in open water. The paddler sits on the top deck with minimal constraints.

All Emotion Kayaks’ Sit-On-Top models are self-bailing. Water that enters the cockpit drains out through scupper holes - tubes that run from the cockpit and tank well to the bottom of the hull. The hulls are sealed making them practically unsinkable. Even if the kayak capsizes, it is easily reentered and you are on your way.

Sit-On-Top kayaks also allow you more freedom of movement, even standing. All of our models are equipped with bungee deck rigging, tank wells or hatches to provide plenty of storage for all of your gear.
