Creek Boats are not available for purchase online, but this is a unique option for those looking for a quality duck hunting kayak. Styled more like a small boat than a kayak, Creek Boats are lightweight and versatile.
I have been interested in Creek Boats ever since I was researching my first kayak. In fact, the only reason I did not buy one at the time was because of the price.
These boats are unique and serve a specific purpose. They are extremely light-weight and would be perfect for dragging in on public land. Or, use it as an layout blind that could be easily loaded/unloaded from a boat.
One downside is they are not available for purchase online and there are limited dealers, so finding one without paying a ton for shipping might be a trick.
These boats originate out of North Carolina and are often used in the open water bays on calm days. They are not going to be capable of handling rough conditions but should be just fine for duck hunting in shallow water.
The main draw of these boats is the weight. It is only 44lbs and their smaller, 8ft model comes in at a mere 36lbs. If you are looking for a boat that you can drag into walk-in public marshes, this should be a strong consideration.
The price is reasonably competitive with other similar sized kayaks/boats. At the base price, you get the basic boat with no seat or other features. This makes it slightly more expensive if you plan to add things. If you are using it as a layout and plan to build your own blind, it is an advantage to have a bare-bones boat ready for your blind.
Most people will say this is not a paddling boat. The lack of raised seating and the lower profile makes it difficult to paddle long distances. The keel is pretty basic which is a plus for adding capacity, but it seems to make for a more difficult paddling experience.
The Creek Boat has plenty of room for storage, with more carrying capacity than most kayaks.
