Feel Free Gemini

A foot shorter than the Corona, the Gemini is a lighter, faster, slightly more seaworthy boat than its more economical cousin craft. It’s still a very stable all-around tandem, which also comes with an additional seat for a small child in the middle, but packs in a few more performance features, making it a fun option for playing in the surf or on easy whitewater. It also comes standard with rod holders, which is a nice bonus for kayak fishermen. Just like the molded carrying handles on the bow, stern and sides, as well as the sturdy wheel in the stern, makes this an easy boat to maneuver to and from the water. Two 8-inch rubber hatches allow you to store gear and keep things dry while being able to access it from your seat, and you can rest your paddle on the side bungee paddle holders, allowing for hand-free activities such as fishing or relaxing.
