The Elkton Outdoors took the top spot for having a tough mold-injected body with a high 650 pound weight capacity so that it can comfortably hold 2 adults. When searching for the best 2-person kayak we evaluated hard and inflatable options to satisfy both the serious boater and the occasional user who may not have the means to transport a large vessel.

The addition of scuppers that allow rain or seawater to easily drain away is another feature that any owner will appreciate. The unique hull configuration on the Lifetime Kokanee is similar to the old Lifetime model, but it is available with an updated seating arrangement that allows one person to fit the seat right in the center of the kayak for improved power and control. These include sprayhoods at the bow and stern to keep your gear protected from the elements, but this means that space is slightly compromised, meaning that it suits a parent and child more than two large adults. In adding new kayaks to our list, the Airhead Roatan was an easy choice as it replaces the previous model at a similar cost and has better features.
