Hobie Kona Kayak

Hobie Kona

The Hobie Kona is a classic crossover paddle kayak.

Overview

Perfect for two, yet simple for one. The Hobie Kona is a rare tandem kayak that fits this bill. At 11 ½ feet long and a carrying capacity of 425 pounds, the Kona can be used on a 2-person outing one day and a solo fishing trip the next. Thoughtfully designed, the Kona provides a wide deck for a stable ride and the rotomolded polyethylene provides ruggedness without sacrificing snappy performance. Carrying handles and on-hull paddle storage simplify loading and portaging, and the deluxe, adjustable padded seats support your back making both short and longer excursions as enjoyable as possible.

• Stackability - When space is at a premium, the Lanai hull shape allows for temporarily nesting the boat with another one, keeping pathways clear when the boats are not in use.

FAQs

I want to buy this kayak and get out on the water. Do I really just add it to my cart?

Yup. Really, that's it. A growing portion of our customers just place their orders online. Can be faster and easier and less hassle than emails and phone calls. We don't mind either way, but once the order is in our system, then we get to work. As a summary, depending on stock status displayed on the kayak when you add to cart, we might start packaging it right away. Sometimes we have to wait for certain components - but our logistics team will start working on the delivery of your kayak from our warehouses to your shipping address. We'll package all the accessories, and then decide on the method of shipping. We have our own delivery van and trailer that handles a lot of the West Coast. We use contracted private drivers for places further away from us, and then we also use some normal shipping companies. You really don't have to worry about anything, that's our job. We line up the best option and then once the boat is ready, off it goes to you. It's not dissimiliar to ordering large appliances online - same processes with our own attention to detail to make sure it's as simple and transparent from order to delivery.

How much is shipping and how long does it take?

Your new Hobie Kayak will have a low, flat rate shipping price of $227 anywhere in the US (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). You will find this shipping method when adding your address in the shopping cart. Please contact us for rates outside the US. Each kayak's expected lead time is available as part of the product options right above the add to cart button (after you select any color options, if available). As some general guidance though, delivery times depend on stock status, your location and the size of your boat. For the majority of our kayaks that are in stock - they can be ready to ship in as little as 48 hours. That said, on average it's usually at least a week from order, to ‘ready for shipping to customer’.

How do you support your customers, especially if I buy a kayak randomly on your site?
