Delta 12AR
Delta Kayaks 12 AR
A lightweight thermoformed 12ft Touring kayak
The Delta 12AR is a lightweight recreational kayak designed to balance comfort, stability, and ease of use, making it a strong choice for beginners and casual paddlers. At around 12 feet long and weighing roughly 19kg, it’s easy to transport and handle both on and off the water. Its standout feature is the large open cockpit, which allows for simple entry and exit while providing plenty of legroom and all-day comfort. Combined with Delta’s adjustable Contour II seat system, the kayak is well-suited for long, relaxed paddling sessions on lakes, calm rivers, and sheltered coastal areas.
Performance-wise, the 12AR uses a “Fusion Hull” design that blends efficient glide with strong primary stability, helping it track well while remaining forgiving for less experienced paddlers. It also includes practical features such as front and rear sealed storage hatches, bungee deck rigging, and durable thermoformed construction, which provides a glossy finish and good resistance to impacts and UV damage. Overall, the Delta 12AR is considered a versatile, user-friendly kayak that prioritises stability, comfort, and light weight over speed or advanced touring performance.

Advantages of Thermoformed Plastic Material
ADVANCED THERMOFORM CONSTRUCTION
Our skilled workers carefully craft every Delta kayak using a proprietary blend of thermoplastic materials. An ABS base layer (1) provides superior impact-resistance and rigidity, while the Solarkote exterior surface (2) contributes outstanding abrasion and UV resistance for a smooth, bright finish and vibrant, lasting colours. Our kayaks have higher impact strength than composite fibreglass boats and hold their shape better than polyethylene kayaks. The first thing you’re likely to notice, however, is their weight. Thanks to our advanced thermoform construction, Delta kayaks are not just tough and good-looking — they’re also among the lightest on the market.
