The fast fitness SOT kayak
Stellar Kingfisher Sit-on-Top
The Stellar Kingfisher is a sit-on-top kayak designed for slightly more experienced paddlers and is fast enough for fitness training. It also offers a very high level of stability. The hull is the same as that of the Sit in Kayak S16.
Two storage hatches provide ample capacity for day trips or carrying luggage. Out at sea, the Kingfisher glides effortlessly through the waves. At 4.88 m in length, this sit-on-top is still very compact and, thanks to its low weight, easy to transport.

Advantages of sit-on-top kayaks at a glance:
Lightweight
At 16 to 18 kilos in a robust carbon/Kevlar layup, the SoT kayaks are very light and therefore easy to handle on your own.
Easy access
Fast entry and exit are an advantage if you have limited manoeuvrability or a slight wave in coastal waters.
Legroom
The open seat area allows for leg work and "pushing off" on the stem board. Comfortable to adjust and also suitable for long legs.
Seating position
Sitting with slightly bent legs and closed knees can be more comfortable than the "frog position" in a classic kayak.
Sporty paddling
The two longer models, Kingfisher and Egret, are particularly suitable for fitness paddling. The footboard and seating position support active leg work.
Passive draining
A bilge opening - the so-called bailer - at the lowest point of the cockpit enables passive suction of the spray water that gets into the boat over time.
The Stellar Kingfisher presented in detail
Stellar Lightweight presents the Sit on Top kayaks, an outstanding range for paddlers who do not want to or cannot sit in a closed kayak. These kayaks offer an open seating area in which the legs can be freely adjusted. This makes it easier to get in and out of the kayak. It is also easier to get back in after capsizing. Lite Venture distributes Stellar kayaks throughout Europe and presents the "Kingfisher" model in this video. We are here at our new test location in the Perpignan / Leucate area, where tests of kayaks, surf skis and sit-on-tops from our range will also be possible by arrangement.
These points make the S16S G2 Kingfisher special
Click on the + crosses to get more information.
Tail rudder
The S16S has a tail rudder as standard. Alternatively, an understern rudder can also be fitted.
Recessed seat
Stellar surf skis are known for the ergonomic shape of the seat recess. This enables ideal rotation.
Luggage hatch
All S16S have a luggage hatch in the rear and an additional day storage compartment on the front of the seat hatch.
4 carrying handles
The S16S has sturdy carrying handles at the front, rear and on both sides of the seat recess.
Understern rudder
The tail rudder is standard on the S16S. However, an understern rudder can also be fitted.
Day hatch
There is a day hatch on the front of the seat recess.
Long waterline
The steep bow and stern shape allows almost the entire length of the boat to be used as a waterline. This and the optimised hull shape make all Stellar boats faster than average in relation to their overall length.
