THE KAYAK

Jackson Kayak Riviera — Stable, Fast, Hard‑Plastic Hull

The Riviera sit‑on‑top combines a hard‑plastic hull with design tuned for speed and maneuverability while remaining stable and easy to enter and exit — ideal for recreational paddling and casual touring.

THE SETUP

Deck Space and Secure Storage

Each kayak features a rear deck sized to carry a cooler and bungee rigging to hold gear down tight, making it straightforward to bring provisions for a full‑day outing.

THE HANDLING

Easy Transport, Quick Launches

Front and back handles provide simple, two‑person carry and convenient loading; combined with the Riviera’s maneuverability, the boats are fast to deploy from shore and responsive on the water.
