Delta Kayaks 12S

Delta 12s – Touring Performance in a Smaller Package

Designed with medium to smaller-framed paddlers in mind, the Delta 12s delivers the speed, stability, and comfort you’d expect from a high-performance touring kayak — all in a lightweight, easy-to-manage size. At just 17 kg, it’s effortless to carry, lift onto a roof rack, and launch, so you can spend less time struggling with your boat and more time on the water.

Its finely tuned hull design gives the 12s a lively, responsive feel while maintaining excellent stability. It glides smoothly, tracks beautifully, and reacts instantly to your paddle strokes, making it just as capable on calm lakes as it is in gentle coastal waters. Whether you’re chasing distance, exploring sheltered inlets, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon paddle, the Delta 12s delivers performance far beyond its size.

Advanced Thermoform Construction

Every Delta kayak is precision-crafted from a proprietary blend of thermoplastic materials for the ideal balance of strength, durability, and light weight. The ABS base layer delivers exceptional impact resistance and rigidity, while the Solarkote exterior adds outstanding UV and abrasion protection to keep your kayak smooth and vibrant for years. Stronger than composite fibreglass, better at holding shape than polyethylene, and lighter to carry than most kayaks in its class — it’s tough, beautiful, and built to last.

Attention to Detail

Delta builds their kayaks with paddlers in mind, right down to the smallest details. The Press-Lock hatches are easy to open and close while providing a watertight seal, and their hard-shell covers add extra deck strength and UV protection. The low-profile day hatch blends seamlessly into the deck design, giving you quick access to snacks, cameras, or sunscreen without clutter.

The Contour II Seat System is more than just comfortable — it’s engineered for all-day support. With multiple height positions, breathable foam cushioning, and quick-adjust functionality, it adapts to your paddling style and keeps you comfortable hour after hour.
