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.

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.

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