Sit-on-top Kayak
A sit-on-top kayak virtually eliminates the biggest fear for new kayakers. That fear is being trapped underwater and upside down in your kayak. Most inflatable kayaks are sit-on-tops. Some sea and touring inflatable kayaks are decked (enclosed). Sit-on-tops, particularly inflatables, require less skill to operate. Decked kayaks require more skill and generally can handle bigger water. Near Shore & SoundSit-on-tops work great in sounds and near shore. Hard-shells are more common here, but inflatables also work good.Recreational Use
Sit-on-tops work great for short trips on calm rivers and lakes. In this situation, you can choose between hard-shell and inflatable. Both work great. Look at the cost and advantages of both.
