Mocean Scout Recreational Touring Kayak

The Mocean Scout is designed for relaxed and fitness paddling pursuits alike, with deck and hull contours that allow for nimble cruising and spacious access. Made with the highest quality ABS plastic and fusion process, you can expect a rigid feel, watertight seams, and extremly stable performance.

The Scout differs from the XC version in that it has a shorter, yet still rather generously-sized, cockpit opening that is accessible to almost any sized paddler. The cockpit, with its included thigh pads, is shaped to create optional thigh contact along the underside of the deck to exert control over the kayak for edge turns. The closer fit, as compared to the XC, ushers enhanced confidence in rougher waters.

The Scout series accommodates a wide size range of paddlers and will impress beginners and experts alike. This medium to larger volume 12' vessel comfortably fits paddlers up to 250 pounds who are under 6' 3" tall. In our view, the Scout is ideal for paddlers between 145 and 215 pounds.

Both Scout models are perfect for anyone wanting a lightweight, durable, and compact vessel that tracks exceptionally well, provides significant secondary stability, has ample seating and storage space, and has a seat that can be enjoyed all day.

With a multi-chined hull, this kayak will feel stable (if not graceful) both on and off edge.

It has enough depth and flare in the bow and foredeck areas that it can withstand light swells and heavy chop with relative ease. That means it won’t plow water or porpoise! The deck arches high ahead of the cockpit to clear spray and provide ample interior room.

A beautifully designed bulkhead hatch is located at the bow and another at the stern. The access covers are large with perimeter gaskets; their storage space is generous--big enough to handle a soft cooler, some camping gear; certainly a couple of days of supplies. The hatch systems are water tight (condensation remains a variable, like with any kayak). Each uses a thermoplastic partition wall with sealant to ensure a water tight chamber while adding hull rigidity (which translates to more speed!).

The molded handles are contoured for comfortable lifting.

The deck rigging uses recessed and stainless hardware.

The foot braces are bolted into stand-off wall sections--not through the hull--to increase longevity and stiffness. This design also allows for more foot room and better leg-to-hip alignment.

The seat is designed to cradle the paddler with extra cushion and hip support. It has a seat back that can be raised from a traditional sea or whitewater kayaking height (lower back) up to a middle back level. It can be angled backward or forward using a cinch-and-lock toggle. The seat base can be slid forward or back to rebalance the load within the kayak for best handling.

The easy to reach gear track accepts mounted fishing, camera, phone, and storage box accessories from brands like YakAttack, YakGadget, and Scotty.

A dual purposes handle with a clip molded into its surface is located behind the seat. It provides a grab point for the paddler and also a clip to "snap" the paddle into.

The quality of the ABS plastic exceeds industry standards and the meticulous fabrication methods and quality of adhesives used are apparent.
