The Crystal Kayak Company is traveling the world to interact with wildlife using the world’s leader in totally clear Lexan™ watercraft. We traveled to the hidden paradise of Whale Point on the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas in search of sharks, turtles, rays and possibly mermaids, and we found so much more. Our bestselling Crystal Explorer is a canoe-kayak hybrid that allows users to view the underwater world below. The hull acts like a giant snorkel mask and pierces the surface tension of the water which allows you to see fish, coral, wrecks and more while remaining safely on the surface. Thousands of visitors to exotic destinations have been able to join their friends on the water to see the underwater world below as the Crystal Explorer has been distributed to over 50 countries worldwide since 2016. The Crystal Kayak Company team was alerted to the worldwide draw to interact with wildlife through the Crystal Explorer hull as a massive advantage to enthusiasts, researchers and environmentalists as the Crystal Explorer allow users to remain inside the hull while not disturbing the natural setting below. Measuring an impressive 11' long by 33.5" wide, the Crystal Explorer is designed for 1 or 2-person arrangements. The design of the Crystal Explorer includes the high-sides and open cockpit of a canoe while users paddle as though they are in a Kayak with the comfort of ergonomic Kayak seats. The low center of gravity of the design with the addition of the Skeg assembly allows for excellent tracking in the water making the Crystal Explorer an excellent choice for beginner to advanced users. The cottage on Whale Point provided an excellent setting for the team as the dock was set on a protected lagoon that offered calm waters that were teeming with wildlife. Within minutes of shooting, an eight-foot Tiger Shark was seen eating a turtle as the team was out on the water. Viewing such an event up close would be difficult and dangerous without the benefit of viewing through the Crystal Explorer Hull. The Crystal Kayak Company's patent-pending design focuses strongly on the durability and ease of use for everyone and safety on the water. The Crystal Explorer has been engineered to weigh only 47 lbs, making it extremely easy to carry while performing exceptionally well in mild choppy waters to still lakes and rivers. The low center of gravity and high side walls allow for ocean use as well, while providing beginner kayakers the comfort of feeling as though they are in control inside the vessel. While the rental companies and resort business quickly became the first market to experience the power of the Crystal Explorer, 2018 quickly saw the rise in researchers and adventurists looking to really connect with nature. Markets such as Australia, UK, Canada, Bahamas, France, Spain, Lebanon, Dubai and more have all seen Crystal Clear Kayak products from The Crystal Kayak Company join research teams as an option when wanting to view wildlife without disrupting the animal's natural habitats. The clarity seen through the hull of the Crystal Explorer is a major benefit; however, design and quality also offer massive benefits to the long-term use of the Crystal Kayak Product line. All of the hardware installed in the Crystal Explorer is marine-grade quality which allows for a long lifetime and minimal maintenance needed. Simply rinse the kayak off with fresh water after each use and enjoy the experience for years. Paddling at night has always been enticing to water sports enthusiasts. With the additional light accessories to the Crystal Explorer, paddling at night can now be safe and enjoyable while viewing wildlife you would not normally see during the daylight hours. Each Crystal Explorer comes with all you need to get on the water with a number of accessories available that have been designed to prolong the life of the Kayak and keep the viewing surface #clearlybetter.
