Seaward - Southwind - $2400 (Retail $4400)

http://www.seawardkayaks.com/prodproductsview.aspx?key=4099&idProduct=4099

The Southwind is the mother of all tandem expedition sea kayaks.  It is stable enough to stand up in and has enough cargo capacity to haul pretty much anything you will need for a longer duration multi-day expedition and extremely tough.  We have tested these in our Everglades and San Juan Island sea kayak tours (both single and multi-day) and they are fantastic.  The center hatch is also great for a smaller third person or your favorite pet or two.

Length: 21'

Seaward - Passat G3 - $2600 (Retail $4400)

http://www.seawardkayaks.com/prodproductsview.aspx?key=4130&idProduct=4130

This tandem is so fun to paddle it is the closest thing to paddling a single.  The narrower beam gives it more maneauverability and allows for an amazing top speed.  We have sold several of these to adventure racers and paddlers who want a tandem, but still want a feel more like a single.  The center hatch is great for extra gear (multiple day paddling is a breeze) or you can get an optional insert seat for a smaller child or young teen.  YOU WILL LOVE THIS KAYAK!!!
