RapidKats in 8 Lengths and 24 Models

In use for two decades, RapidKats are the world's first and only Kevlar inflatable kayaks and remain our most popular boats. A great starting place for the WaterWolf modular system, RapidKats can be upgraded into a multitude of different watercraft without sacrificing performance.

Designed and built to withstand years of heavy use, WaterWolfs have been used throughout the world whenever demanding conditions require exceptional equipment. Simplified transport and storage is facilitated by easily detached cross beams, floors and seats enabling quick packing and assembly into tight spaces for air travel and compact storage. Carry in a pack for a worldly adventure or strap to a bike for an afternoon paddle down your local river.

Combining outstanding performance with amazing stability RapidKats represent the ultimate in inflatable kayaks.

RapidKats are truly in a class of their of their own with exceptionally rigid high-pressure Kevlar hulls providing unmatched responsiveness and speed. No inflatable kayak in the industry withstands high pressures like a WaterWolf. The best high priced inflatables operate at 4 to 6 psi and burst at three to four times that pressure. However, WaterWolfs are tested to 25 psi during production and have a bursting pressure many times higher than the industry standard!

RapidKats perform more on the level of a hardshell kayak, more like a play boat, than a traditional inflatable kayak without the need to learn the "Eskimo roll". Responsive performance and ease of use set the WaterWolf RapidKat apart. The Kevlar base fabric and urethane coating provides unmatched durability optimized for portability and stability. If exciting whitewater kayaking is for you, take a look at the shorter RapidKats. The RapidKat 2.5 is best for lighter paddlers and the RapidKat 3 is a day boat for the average to large adult. Longer RapidKats suit heavier loads for multi-day trips or when shallow draft is needed.

What about a RapidKat as a sea kayak? No inflatable from any manufacturer can match the elegance and speed of a good quality hardshell sea kayak. RapidKats are an excellent platform for snorkeling, diving or fishing on short trips from shore or in rough conditions. When traveling long distances on oceans or lakes consider converting a RapidKat into a WindKat. Sail to your destination and convert to a RapidKat for paddling in-shore for snorkeling, diving or other applications where a stable boat is needed. The longer RapidKats compare favorably to sit-upon sea kayaks. RapidKats match or exceed the stability of sit-upon plastic sea kayaks, yet are much lighter and easier to transport.
