Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak

Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak

The lightweight Quest Solo Kayak comes with drop-stitch keels at both the bow and stern so it paddles straight, even in windy conditions. The sit-on-top style is stable enough to flop in and out of, making it great for taking kids and dogs. With foot pegs, an optional bum cushion and a supportive seat back, the Quest is quick and easy to set up if you want an hour of peace on the water, but also suitable for multi-day expeditions.

Available for backorder, stock ETA 8th of October

Why this kayak?

  • Easy to paddle - glides beautifully courtesy of the drop-stitch keel
  • Easy to carry - only 12.2 kg!
  • Easy to get in and out of - flop into it, no grace required
  • Easy to set up - simple setup in 4.5 minutes
  • Great foot and back support - foot pegs and cushioned seat included
  • Propeller compatible - ready for a fin-mounted motor

Who is this kayak NOT for?

  • Although the Quest Solo is suitable for kayak fishing, if you are going to be kayak fishing regularly, take a look at the Quest Angler Inflatable Kayak, which is almost the same kayak, but customised for fishing.
  • If you weigh more than 120kg, you will want the rigidity of the Odyssey Solo Inflatable Kayak, rather than the Quest.
  • If you live in a cold climate or will be paddling in rough conditions, you may wish to consider a sit-in kayak that you can put a spray skirt on, such as the AdvancedFrame Elite or the AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite (if you have long legs).
  • The Quest Solo is suitable for taking a small child or a small dog, but if you want to take a large dog or a large child (or several of each), you will need a bit more space - consider the Quest Angler or the Quest Tandem kayak. Both of these options are still light enough for one person to lift and paddle, but will give you extra space and capacity.
  • The Quest is an open-deck kayak with no bail ports. If you are doing activities that involve water coming in like snorkelling or whitewater, consider the StraitEdge kayak which is a self-bailing kayak, suitable up to class 3 whitewater.

Excellent Tracking and Speed

The unique drop-stitch keels in the bow and stern on the Quest range of kayaks are very effective at keeping the kayak tracking straight, even without the fin.

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

Specification Image

Hull Shape - Not Like Other Kayaks

Some of the other kayaks on the market have hard plastic keels on the bow and stern.

These keels do not angle deep enough and are therefore often OUT of the water, achieving nothing.

The drop-stitch keels of the Quest go DOWN from the hull, INTO the water and are amazingly effective for tracking.

Specification Image

Easy to Carry


The Quest Solo inflatable kayak is only 12.2 kg, including the seat and the foot pegs.

We have positioned the padded handles on the inside right on the centre of gravity so you can easily lift the kayak up onto your shoulder using your body to carry as opposed to just arm strength.

Specification Image

Easy to Get in and Out of


The Quest is super stable with low profile side chambers - you can just flop in and out of it, no grace required.

Specification Image

Awesome Foot and Back Support


The adjustable foot pegs allow you to use your whole body in the paddling motion.

Not only is a cushioned, high-backed seat supplied, we have also placed the D-rings very high on the side chambers - this height helps support your lumbar significantly more than lower-placed D-rings.

The seat comes with a 5cm cushion in the base that can be removed.
In the Quest, I prefer the cushion removed so I am closer to the water with a lower centre of gravity for better stability. However, you may wish to use the cushion in rough conditions to keep lifted up off the deck and away from any water that gets in the kayak. Up to you.

Specification Image

Easy to Set Up

Seriously quick and easy to get from in the bag to on the water.

  • Easy inflation: There are 3 chambers that use the same valve type, so you can use the same adapter for all valves on the kayak, no need to change adapters on the pump.
  • Insert the included foot pegs (optional).
  • Insert the included deck lifts (optional).
  • Clip in the seat (back clips optional)
  • No need to clip in the fin, the kayak tracks straight without it but it is included if you wish to use.
Specification Image

Stable - Great for Dogs and Kids

The Quest range of kayaks are 85 cm wide so they are really stable, great for beginners and intermediate paddlers.

The Quest kayaks are great for kids, dogs and fishing though if you are looking to do more than a small amount of fishing, check out the Quest Angler which has been specifically designed with fishing features.

Specification Image

Propeller Compatible - Zoom Zoom!


Although the Quest does not require a fin, we have provided a fin box on the hull, primarily so you can clip in a fin-box propeller.

The kayak is stable enough for the propeller and easy to steer with your paddle.

Specification Image

Quality Materials and Manufacturing

The Jaspara range of kayaks are manufactured using top-quality components by amazing dedicated staff. All kayaks are inflated and left for a 7 day period to ensure there are no leaks before packing. We have personally tested the kayaks to determine the positioning of vital components such as handles, seats, D-rings and foot pegs all in an effort to make sure that when you paddle a Jaspara kayak, you have a great experience paddling a comfortable and well balanced watercraft.

Quick Set-up

Like its tandem relative, the Quest Solo has 3 chambers - 2 lower-pressure side chambers and a high-pressure dropstitch floor all with the same valve type. Although we have provided a fin, you don’t need to clip it in, the fin box is there for use with a propeller.

Quick Set-up

Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak FAQ

Even though it’s only 2.9m long, the drop-stitch keels give you a wonderful paddling experience.

The high-pressure drop-stitch floor (included) gives you excellent rigidity and a very smooth hull bottom, so you glide through the water gracefully.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak sits at that sweet spot – it’s not the fastest kayak we sell, but it’s got a wonderful ‘glide’ to it.

For a shortish kayak, the tracking is excellent, even without the fin.

The high-pressure drop-stitch floor plays a big part in this. The enhanced rigidity helps the kayak glide through the water smoothly.

But the most important feature for tracking is the hull shape - the drop-stitch keels at the bow and stern are amazingly effective, they keep you going straight even with no fin and even in the wind!

Not much.

All kayaks are wind affected to some degree.

You can generally predict how wind affected it’s going to be based on the ratio of kayak above the waterline to kayak below the waterline.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak sits quite low in the water, especially compared to other inflatables, so it performs quite well in wind.

You can also look at the hull shape to determine wind affect. The Quest has drop-stitch keels at both the bow and the stern and these dramatically improve the kayak's ability to keep it's directional line in the wind.

It's wonderful, I could spend all day paddling it!


The extra-stiff high-backed seat is paired with high-mounted D-rings for better lumbar support.

A removable 5cm seat cushion is included. I prefer to remove the cushion in the Quest for a lower center of gravity and better stability, but you may want it in for rough conditions to stay drier.

The adjustable foot pegs allow you to use your whole body for more efficient paddling.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak comes with adjustable foot pegs. A lot of paddlers swear by foot pegs for encouraging good paddling technique and for supporting the lower back.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak has very good back support with an extra-stiff high-backed seat, paired with high-mounted D-rings for better lumbar support.

Yes, if they are not massive.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is spaced nicely for 1 adult and a small to medium sized dog.

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

The drop-stitch floor and the PVC tarpaulin are extremely durable, giving 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 ίf the fish are biting and you want to stay where you are.

Optional accessory frame if you want to attach additional rod holders, an EPERB, a fish finder, go-pro etc.

Yes.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is good for taking kids, as long as they are still small.

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

It’s not huge inside, but there is space for 1 adult and 1 small child.

Yes, it’s a good choice for at tender, as long as you are not in open ocean.

It’s got the high-pressure drop-stitch floor which makes it easy to step into and out of.

The wide-open cockpit also makes it easy to step in and out of.

It’s not our biggest kayak, but there is still quite a bit of deck space and capacity (160kg) for gear if you are using it to transport your stuff to and from shore.

**Caution – do not leave the kayak inflated on the deck of the boat. The heat will cause the pressure to rise and you could damage the kayak.

Although it performs well in chop, it is not rated for open ocean because there are no bail ports for swamping waves.

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

You could technically do a multi-day expedition, you just don’t have a huge amount of deck space for storage of gear.

If you have to pack a huge amount of stuff, I suggest looking at our AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite, which has a higher capacity and more storage space.

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 Quest Solo 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.

This is an AWESOME kayak for beginners!

The key feature for beginners is stability and the Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is wonderfully stable, even for getting in and out.

The hull design makes it super-easy to paddle straight, even if you have never kayaked before.

At 12.2kg, it’s light enough for most people to lift.

Yes! In fact, I would say it’s the BEST kayak we have for seniors.

In my experience, seniors are looking for a lightweight kayak, and at 12.2kg, the Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak definitely ticks that box.

The other key features for seniors are stability and ease of getting in and out – the Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is extremely stable and the wide open cockpit makes it easy to get in and out of.

Yes, depending on the age and strength of the child, of course.

It’s light, stable and easily manouverable, which are the key features for kids when they are learning to paddle independently.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is a doddle to get in and out of.

The sides are low and the kayak is super stable, you can just flop into it and flop out if you have to.

It’s good up to about 6’2″, but beyond that, you want to consider the AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite kayak.

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.

You could actually be much taller than 6'2" and still fit inside the kayak, but the balance of the kayak would then be towards the stern, which might mean the bow is sticking out of the water and you would get some waggle when you paddle.

The maximum capacity is 160kgs.

I have found that the drop-stitch floor greatly enhances the rigidity of the kayak right up to a paddler weight of about 120kg.

The Jaspara range of kayaks is crafted using premium-quality PVC 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.

The Quest Solo is a sit-on-top inflatable kayak.

The cockpit is wide open for easy entry and exit - you can NOT put on a spray-skirt.

113cm x 49cm x 38cm

The weight of the kayak (+seat + deck lifts + foot pegs) is 12.2 kg.

The full weight of the bag with all the bits an pieces is 17kg.

Most people can carry it down to the water by themselves.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is super stable with low profile side chambers - you can just flop in and out of it, no grace required.

No.

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 Quest Solo is a sit-on-top inflatable kayak.

The cockpit is wide open for easy entry and exit - you can NOT put on a spray-skirt.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is a solo kayak – this means it has seating for only 1 person.

Although it is spacious, you could NOT fit two adults in it.

Taking a small child with you is totally viable though

Deflated and packed dimensions are:

113cm x 49cm x 38cm

The weight of the kayak (+seat + deck lifts + foot pegs) is 12.2 kg.

The full weight of the bag with all the bits an pieces is 17kg.

At 12.2 kg, the Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is one of our lightest kayaks.

Most people can carry it down to the water by themselves.

The Quest Solo Inflatable Kayak is super stable with low profile side chambers - you can just flop in and out of it, no grace required.

No.

The Quest Solo 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 tightly closed.

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 3-5 PSI.

Clip in the seat.

Close the valve caps on the 3 chambers.

Set-up Time: 4:30 minutes
Pack Away Time: 4:00 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 seat, 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.

Yes, it DOES go back in the bag!

You need to purchase a paddle and a life jacket as the minimum.

Above expectations

These kayaks are simple to set up, sturdy, track straight and very easy to paddle along. I could not be happier with our choice and the great advice given prior to our purchase. I would highly recommend the kayak and the whole purchase experience.

Advancedframe Expedition Elite Kayak

The Advancedframe Expedition Elite Kayak is extremely well thought out and put together. Every aspect seems to have been catered for. My first experience on the water in the Expedition Elite was very memoriable and 6 hours of paddling seemed to pass in the blink of an eye... If storage and transport is a problem for you I would highly recommend the Advanceframe Expedition Elite Kayak and would highly recommend purchasing from oz inflatable kayaks as Emily was wonderful to deal with and was very knowledgeable and answered every question I threw at her and the service was second to none.

Super slick design and a pleasure to use

This kayak is an excellent design and makes kayaking very accessible for a newbie like me; it's beautiful to use on the water - super stable and comfortable to paddle - and easy to inflate once you know the process. It opens up a whole new range of activities for my camping holidays with kids and friends and can be packed into a boot or trailer as a foldable inflatable product... I could also easily fit my 13 yo and 10 yo into the kayak with me and enjoy it as a family...
