The Nortik Argo is a versatile touring kayak designed for both major expeditions and smaller adventures. Named after the swift ship of the Argonauts from Greek mythology, it echoes their journey for the Golden Fleece under Jason's leadership.

At 5.20 meters long and 62 cm wide, the Argo offers enhanced volume and load capacity. It features anodized aluminum components to keep weight low while maintaining strength. The kayak is easy to assemble and pack, weighing just 19 kg and fitting into a single backpack. Its design ensures stability and maneuverability, suitable even for novice paddlers.
Standard features include thigh braces, an adjustable suspended seat, deck rigging, and waterproof hatches. The Argo is fully sealed with no exposed seams, ensuring water resistance. Optional accessories like a rudder system, foot braces, thermal PU skirt, and cockpit cover are available, enhancing functionality and comfort.

For the Nortik Argo 1, in addition to traditional accessories such as paddles, pump, or life jacket, we also recommend a canoe trolley. This allows you to transport your Argo 1 quickly and easily.
Installing a rudder system will significantly improve the straight-line tracking and maneuverability of your Nortik Argo 1.
The Nortik Argo 1 can be assembled in approximately 30 minutes with some practice. For the initial setup, it's recommended to take a bit more time; however, subsequent setups will become quicker. The assembly of the Nortik Argo is not as straightforward, so it may not be ideal for casual paddlers unless there's an option to store it assembled.
