Perception Acadia II 14.0 Tandem Kayak - 2008

The Perception Acadia II 14.0 Tandem Kayak is a sleek family craft. A removable kids' seat means you can take your sweetheart and your little one along for a ride. Like any good recreational boat, the Acadia II 14.0 Kayak is a breeze to paddle and super stable. Unlike most tandem kayaks however, the Acadia has a little zip to it, thanks to the ever-so-slightly sweptback hull. Both adjustable seats feature the Comfort Fit System, which has molded seats that are on rails, adjustable backrests, footbraces, and Thermofoam seatpads. Adjust the Acadia II 14.0 Kayak to fit two and a dog, two and a little one, or just two adults.

Bottom Line: Perception gives you a versatile family tandem boat in the Acadia II 14.0 Kayak. Unfortunately, they're still perfecting the device that keeps your kid from splashing you.

Acadia II

I find it a bit heavy to lift for storing, but it can hold a lot of weight. It is so bouyant that I was able to help a friend aboard who had capsized another kayak. The Acadia II tracks well and is fast enough for the kind of boat that it is. I use it on Long Island Sound, which can get some waves and wind. When on the water solo, I have used it for fishing with plenty of room for gear. My old Keowee II may have a more comfortable seat, though the Acadia's seat is good.

I just bought a use Keowee 2 a few weeks ago. It only has the 2 seats unlike the keowee 3 that has a kids seat. Do you know if is possible to get a seat that will attach to a keowee 2? There is a bar that runs right down the middle. And our 4 year old doesn't find it too comfy when we put a pad on top of it for him to sit on. I have only seen one other type of child's seat that is suppose to clip under the rear adult seat. But I'm not even sure it would work with the older keowee 2... Any advise on where I could buy one or if it will even adapt to one would be much appreciated!

I find the Acadia II to be a bit heavy out of the water. However, it does have a high maximum load. The boat tracks very well and is fast enough for a recreational kayak. I use mine on Long Island Sound where the wind and waves can be rough. There is plenty of room. When paddling solo I have fished from this boat. The seat is comfortable, but I do believe that the seat of my Keowee II might be a tad more comfortable that the one on the Acadia. As of yet, I have not used the child's seat.

Does this kayak handle well when used by only one person or is it better to have two always?

It'll handle plenty easy with one person since you'll have a lighter overall load. But you'll get further, faster with a partner to help paddle...unless they're lilly-dipping up there.

I enjoy it best when alone. It feels more nimble when I (at 250lbs.) am in the middle. However, it is a good boat with two people. I have not used the child's seat yet.
