AQUASTIC Cortez 13'9" 420 cm green 2-person high-pressure inflatable kayak (AQS-B5I183-GN)

The Cortez 13'9" model is an inflatable, two-person kayak designed for those seeking higher-class equipment for paddling on calm waters as well as coastal sea waters. Thanks to the use of drop stitch technology, the construction provides excellent stiffness, stability, and exceptional user comfort. The Cortez 13'9" is the ideal choice for longer trips with a partner – reliable, comfortable, and ready for any challenge.

DROP STITCH Technology – maximum hull stiffness

Both the side chambers and the floor of the Cortez 13'9" kayak are made using drop stitch technology, which allows inflating the components to a pressure of 10 PSI without risk of deformation. Thanks to dense fibers connecting the inner layers of the material, an effect of exceptional stiffness was achieved while maintaining a low weight of the construction. The stiff floor does not bend under the user's weight, providing a stable sitting position, more comfortable paddling, and more predictable kayak behavior on the water – especially during maneuvers or on light waves.

Three air chambers – greater safety and stability

The kayak is equipped with three independent air chambers responsible for its buoyancy and safety. The side chambers provide lateral stability, while the central, floor chamber ensures structural stiffness and better tracking. Each chamber can be inflated separately, which in practice means that if one is punctured, the others will keep the kayak afloat. This is an important safety feature during longer trips away from shore or in conditions with limited access to assistance.

V-shaped keels – reliable course holding

V-shaped keels are applied at the bow and stern of the kayak, improving hydrodynamics and supporting precise maneuvering. This shape allows the kayak to "cut" through the water with less resistance, making it easier to maintain a straight course even during side wind gusts. The keels also act as directional stabilizers during synchronous paddling, which is especially noticeable during longer crossings on open waters.

Splash guards – comfort in all conditions

Integrated splash skirts are placed at the bow and stern, designed to stop water from entering during intense paddling or when passing through waves. This protection ensures a drier kayak interior, increasing user comfort and protecting luggage from moisture. This is a particularly practical solution during longer routes and unpredictable weather conditions.

High load capacity – full comfort for two people

Thanks to its solid construction and applied technology, the Cortez 13'9" can easily carry up to 200 kg, meaning it can be comfortably used by two adults with full luggage. Even at maximum load, the kayak maintains appropriate stiffness and stability, does not deform, and allows for efficient maneuvering – both on calm lakes and in light waves.
