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. The kayak is robust, stable, and spacious, ideal for carrying ample gear. Made from durable PVC/PU material, it includes keel strips for added durability.
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.
Reviewed by Kanumagazin in "Tested on Tour," the Argo received praise for its user-friendly assembly and excellent performance, remaining stable and efficient even in challenging conditions. It combines ease of use with high performance, making it an ideal choice for paddlers seeking ample space and reliability without the need for a traditional wooden frame.

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.
Der Nortik Argo 1 ist ein sehr robustes Faltkajak und besteht aus widerstandsfähigem PVC/PU-Material, das für eine hohe Lebensdauer und eine gute Abriebfestigkeit sorgt. Der bereits installierte Kielstreifen schützt zusätzlich den Unterboden und reduziert den Verschleiß bei gelegentlichem Kontakt mit Steinen oder Flussufern.
Wie bei allen Faltbooten trägt eine sorgfältige Pflege viel zur Langlebigkeit bei: gründliches Trocknen nach der Tour, gelegentliches Nachpflegen der Materialoberfläche sowie ein sauberer, trockener Lagerplatz. Bei kleineren Beschädigungen kann das mitgelieferte Reparatur-Set schnell Abhilfe schaffen. Bei guter Pflege begleitet dich der Argo 1 viele Jahre, selbst bei regelmäßigem Einsatz auf Großflüssen und Seen.
Durch sein Packmaß von 120 × 45 × 25 cm lässt sich der Nortik Argo 1 kompakt verstauen und problemlos transportieren. Mit einem Gewicht von 19 kg ist das Faltkajak leicht genug, um es im Packrucksack zu tragen oder bequem im Auto zu verstauen, ohne viel Platz zu benötigen.
Für den Weg zum Wasser oder längere Umsetzstellen empfiehlt sich ein Kanuwagen, mit dem du den Argo 1 entspannt und rückenschonend bewegen kannst. Dank des kompakten Formats ist der Transport auch im Zug, im Wohnmobil oder auf Reisen unkompliziert möglich – ein klarer Vorteil gegenüber starren Tourenkajaks.
