Compact, lightweight, and easy to maneuver, the Malibu Two is the most popular tandem sit-on-top kayak on the market. The kayak is made of medium-density polyethylene, a virtually indestructible material that's somewhat flexible (so it doesn't crack), but also maintains its stiffness thanks to Ocean Kayak's compound curves.


The Malibu Two kayak fits is compact and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for families.
The materials are complemented by a California-form tri-hull design, which includes a long center keel area that encourages boats to track straight when paddling and coasting. The result? A kayak that steers well and is easy to control on the waves regardless of whether you're just starting out or are an experienced paddler. The kayak's unique sit-on-top design, meanwhile, allows you to enter and exit the kayak easily from the shore, dock, or water. In a sit-on-top kayak, you can safely enjoy all the pleasures of kayaking without having to learn difficult self-rescue maneuvers.

The Malibu Two is outfitted with three molded-in seat wells, helping it fit two adults plus a small child or pet. Other construction details include overlapping foot wells that provide a comfortable foot position for just about any size paddler; gear straps that allow you to secure items to the deck of the boat; and self-bailing drain holes in the cockpit that allows water that enters the kayak to immediately flow back out. The Malibu Two, which can be paddled solo or tandem, comes in sunrise and yellow colors.
