Testing the Tucktec BOTO Kayak Versus the Tucktec Folding Kayak (Heavy Duty)

We test the Tucktec BOTO ultra light kayak and compare it to our 2022 refurbished model Tucktec kayak that we purchased ourselves. Tucktec sent us a BOTO kayak to test out and we were surprised at how lightweight it was. It weighs only 10 pounds, was easy to put together and felt stable. We took these Tucktec's out for a paddle in the bay at Delaware Seashore State Park launching at Burton's Island. We chose to take the new kayak out there, because this is the spot we often kayak with our 2022 model Tucktec. We felt this would be a good spot to compare their performance.

Also, today is special because I'm kayaking with my husband who doesn't like kayaking but went along with me for our 18th wedding anniversary. We had a great time paddling together and will show you some of the beautiful wildlife we see along the way. We also get pooped on by some birds who don't like us paddling too close to where they are nesting.

Overall, I was impressed with the BOTO kayak, and I think it fills a need for those who want a very lightweight, portable and easy to set up kayak. Depending on where and how often you are kayaking, the BOTO may be the perfect solution for your kayaking needs.This was only my first time using it, and I'll continue to report back on its performance and how it holds up over time. I think you generally would need to be more careful with this kayak compared to the other model because this is not marine grade plastic. Our green Tucktec ( we own two of those) have held up great after a year of ownership and pretty heavy use. I have hit rocks with those and never had any issues because they are quite tough.
