Wowser fast!

The high-pressure drop-stitch chambers give you excellent rigidity, this kayak really cuts through the water beautifully.

Yes!

The tracking is excellent.

The unique drop-stitch keels in the bow and stern of the Odyssey are very effective at keeping the kayak tracking in a straight line, even without the fin.

We have also ensured your centre of gravity is as far forward as possible, further ensuring that the bow keel is IN the water, not poking out - this dramatically improves tracking in general and especially in wind.

Yes and no.

Directionally, it holds it's line quite well in wind, thanks to the drop-stitch bow and stern keels.

But the side walls are up above the waterline, so the kayak will get blown by the wind.

The seats (included) have an extra-stiff high back, and the D-rings have been placed high on the side walls, so you get very good lumbar support.

The seats include detachable foam bum cushions. Sitting higher makes the paddling action a little easier, but sitting lower gives you better stability - your choice.

There are foot pegs for both paddlers. Being able to brace your feet as you paddle greatly reduces the strain on your back.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak comes with 2 sets of foot pegs. Being able to brace your feet as you paddle greatly reduces the strain on your back.

There is a central position for the foot pegs for solo paddling.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak has very good back support – the seat backs are high and stiff with adjustable straps to get the angle right. They also have detachable foam bum cushions.

Yes!

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is ideal for taking dogs.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is very spacious and has an open cockpit, which means customers often fit two people AND two dogs.

The drop-stitch floor inside the kayak is super tough, you do not need any reinforcement.

The wide flat hull means the kayak is very stable so you won’t all go over board if your dog gets excited and makes a sudden move (not that they ever do that …).

Yes.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is very spacious and has an open cockpit, which gives you plenty of room for gear that is easily accessible.

The wide flat hull means the kayak is very stable so you can focus on fishing and relaxing.

The drop-stitch PVC is extremely durable, give you the confidence that neither fish nor fishing gear will cause a puncture.

Optional Railblaza Starport Rod Holder II and RailBlaza Starport Adhesive Mount can be attached to the drop-stitch floor.

Optional kayak anchor if the fish are biting and you want to stay where you are.

Yes.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is great for taking kids!

It’s super-stable, so the kids can have a nap and muck around without tipping it over.

It’s very big and has a wide-open cockpit, so there’s heaps of space.

Yes.

The full drop-stitch rigidity and the open style cockpit make it ideal for stepping onto from a boat.

It’s fast and comfortable enough for anything from 1 hour to a full-day trip.

It’s even great for multi-day expeditions, but be aware that this is an open-deck kayak, so you will likely get water inside.

Not really, because there is no spray deck to keep swamping waves out, and the kayak does not have bail ports, so any water that gets inside the kayak is staying in there.

If you are considering paddling in rough conditions, the Kayak Bilge Pump is recommended.

No.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is fine for class 1 and 2 whitewater, however it is really designed to paddle in a straight line, and therefore not recommended for rivers above class 2.

Yes, it is definitely suitable for beginners. I should note, however, that generally speaking, solo kayaks are easier to paddle than tandem kayaks, which require some level of cooperation…

The key feature for beginners is stability and the Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is wonderfully stable, so no dramas there.

The design is so good that it’s super-easy to paddle straight.

Good question.

In my experience, seniors are looking for a lightweight kayak, and at 20.3kg, the Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is not our lightest tandem kayak, but also not our heaviest.

If you think that with good teamwork you can lift 20.3kg, then it is a wonderful kayak for seniors, but if you want something lighter, consider the Quest Tandem Inflatable kayak, which is only 17.1kg

The other key features for seniors are stability and ease of getting in and out – the Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is extremely stable once you're in it, but the side walls can make it a little tricky to get in an out of. If you want a kayak you can just "flop" in and out of, check out the Quest Tandem Inflatable Kayak.

Not on their own, because it's too big and heavy.

But with an adult it’s a great option. You can even fit a couple of kids in and let them take turns.

It's wide and stable with a wide-open cockpit, but the side walls make it a little more difficult to get in and out of than our Quest Tandem Inflatable Kayak.

Yes, the Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is LONG inside.

You can adjust the seat straps to bring the seat closer to the front of the kayak, or further back in the cockpit to give you more leg room.

Even 2 very tall people will fit in this kayak.

The maximum capacity is 270kg.

The Jaspara range of kayaks is crafted using premium-quality PVC drop-stitch and assembled by a dedicated team.

Each kayak is fully inflated and left for a period of 7 days to ensure it remains leak-free before packaging.

We've personally tested and carefully positioned essential components—such as handles, seats, D-rings, and foot pegs—to guarantee comfort, stability, and an optimal paddling experience.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is a sit-on-top kayak with a wide-open cockpit.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is a tandem kayak – this means it has seating for 2 people.

There is a third seating position in the middle that allows you to paddle it solo.

Deflated and packed dimensions are:

113cm x 49cm x 38cm

The kayak weight is 20.3kg (kayak + fin + seats + foot pegs), the entire bag is 25kg.

At 20.3kg, the Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is not our lightest tandem kayak, but not our heaviest either.

You would have to be quite strong to carry it down to the water by yourself when inflated.

But most people can manage if there are two people to carry it – one at each end.

If you want to make it easier to transport, I would suggest getting the C-tug Kayak Cart this allows you to wheel the kayak to the water and then you can easily stow the cart on the deck.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is very stable once you are in it, but a little wobbly when getting in and out.

There is a detachable fin that comes with the kayak, but you do not need to use it, the kayak tracks very well without it.

We included the fin so you would be able to use the fin box on the kayak to attach a propeller (yee haw!).

Yes - the Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak includes a removable slide-and-lock fin via the fin box underneath. It does not have a rudder.

No.

The Odyssey tandem inflatable kayak is full drop-stitch.

The Odyssey Tandem Inflatable Kayak is manufactured by Jaspara (an Australian company), in our factory in China.

All kayaks are inflated and left for 7 days on the factory floor to ensure they are fully functional before shipping out.

Unroll the kayak and ensure the bung is screwed in tight.

Start inflating the floor chamber to 10PSI (12V Kayak and SUP Pump highly recommended).

Insert the foot pegs (optional).

Insert the deck lifts (optional).

Inflate both side chambers to 10 PSI.

Clip in the seats.

Close the valve caps on the 3 chambers.

It should take you around 8.5 minutes, once you have got the hang of it.

It’s about 8.5 minutes with the 12V Kayak and SUP Pump, once you have got the hang of it. Pack away time is around 6:30 minutes

You just take off the valve covers and set the valves to deflate. Walk away for a few minutes to let the kayak deflate.

Remove the seats, foot pegs, deck lifts and fin (if used).

You can use the deflate function of the pump if you want.

Fold the bow to one side and roll up the kayak.

When you get to the valves, fold the stern in the same direction as the bow and roll in.

Use the strap provided to sinch the kayak tight.

Put everything back in the bag.

Open the bung of the kayak and hold the kayak upright and face down to let the water drain out.

You are welcome to use a hose with this kayak if you want to.

You can either air dry or dry with a towel.

Pack up as per the instructions.
