Gumotex Caleya

Lightweight durable touring inflatable with spray shield

The Gumotex Caleya is a lightweight, high-performance inflatable touring kayak designed for paddlers who want an efficient and responsive kayak that's easy to transport, quick to set up, and enjoyable to paddle over long distances. Developed for day touring, fitness paddling, and multi-day adventures, the Caleya combines a sleek touring hull with excellent stability, making it equally at home on rivers, lakes, estuaries, and sheltered coastal waters. Its low weight and compact packed size make it an ideal choice for paddlers with limited storage space or anyone looking to take their kayak on holidays and weekend adventures.

Constructed from Gumotex's renowned NITRILON® material, the Caleya is exceptionally durable while remaining remarkably lightweight. This reinforced synthetic rubber fabric offers outstanding resistance to abrasion, UV exposure, and punctures, providing years of dependable performance. The lightweight inflatable I-beam floor creates a comfortable and stable paddling platform while keeping the overall weight to just 13.5kg. Combined with the long, narrow hull and removable tracking fin, the Caleya delivers impressive glide and straight-line performance, allowing you to cover greater distances with less effort.

One of the Caleya's standout features is its integrated front spray deck, which helps deflect waves and paddle splash to keep the cockpit drier in breezier conditions and light chop. Unlike a fully enclosed cockpit kayak, the open rear cockpit design still provides exceptionally easy entry and exit, making it ideal for recreational touring, photography, wildlife watching, and anyone who values convenience alongside additional weather protection.

The spacious cockpit is another major advantage, offering plenty of room for taller paddlers or those who simply prefer a less confined seating position. With a generous maximum load capacity of 120kg, the Caleya comfortably accommodates larger paddlers while still providing ample space for clothing, camping equipment, or day touring essentials. Adjustable footrests, a supportive touring seat, and elastic deck bungees at both the bow and stern complete a kayak that's designed for comfort over long distances.

Whether you're exploring inland waterways, touring large lakes, or venturing onto sheltered coastal waters, the Gumotex Caleya offers an outstanding combination of portability, durability, and touring performance. Its lightweight construction, spacious cockpit, practical storage, and partial spray deck make it one of the most versatile inflatable touring kayaks in the Gumotex range, delivering confidence and comfort for both newer paddlers and experienced adventurers alike.
