Inflatable Dropstitch Kayak
Innovative kayak technology in a modern design
Your advantages with our inflatable kayak:
✔ Construction from 100% patented SCSL (TM) double layer dropstitch
✔ Advanced Selytech V2 glue made in Germany with up to 30% higher density
✔ Welded rails for a longer service life, conservation of resources and 100% tightness
✔ Lower skin made of highly tear-resistant and abrasion-resistant 1,100 denier polyester (military quality)
✔ High abrasion resistance and durabilityas well as enormous salt water and UV resistance
✔ Removable, quick-drying base for easy cleaning
✔ Small pack size with the driving experience of a composite kayak
✔ Extra Reinforcement of the subcutaneous tissue and tips at the most abrasion-prone areas
100% Patented U-Lite SCSL(TM) Double layer drop stitch for stability and performance
All Da Vinci kayaks are made entirely from the patented Selytech Composite Super Light (TM) dropstitch material manufactured.
This material allows the Dopstitch kayaks to have extremely strong sidewalls, a lot more air pressure and is also in terms of rigidity, robustness and feel hardly distinguishable from composite kayaks. The kayak stays anyway very mobile (since light and inflatable) and at the same time extremely rigid and high-performance. Three separately filled air chambers ensure extra safety.
Due to the uniquely rigid droptitch construction, the kayak achieves one in this area despite its low weight unparalleled power, stability and performance.
Extra strong and durable - the new Advanced Selytech V2 glue made in Germany
-
Excellent adhesion and tensile strength
-
Up to 30% higher density than other adhesives
-
The V2 adhesive makes the Da Vinci kayak noticeably stiffer
-
Resistant to UV rays and anti-oxidation
-
The SELYTECH adhesive is heat resistant up to 150°C (302°F), 50% higher compared to other manufacturers (100°C/212°F)
-
Water repellency: Essential moisture impermeability - the main reason for most damage from other manufacturers
-
Can be used in a wide variety of regions, including those with high humidity / rainy season
-
High resistance to plasticizers: Long extra protection from plasticizers with high resistance, even at high temperatures
HAWT - Hot Air Welding Tech
With glue alone the durability limit of inflatable kayaks is reached comparatively quickly. That is why the seams of all Da Vinci kayaks are sewn welded with hot air. The PVC melted by HAWT (Hot Air Welding Tech) reinforces the seam line taped over with glue and prevented a possible escape of air. A dropstitch kayak made with both glue and welding lasts longer and is safer.
Rigid hard shells for improved hydrodynamics
Thanks to the V-shaped underwater hull designed on the computer and the ABS hard-shell tips at the bow and stern, the inflatable kayak has a exceptionally good gliding behavior, excellent directional stability, improved flow. All this made possible easier and faster paddling.
The robust hard shells protect the kayak on the bank, cut the waves optimally while paddling and guarantee that Driving experience of a composite kayak.
Various attachments such as stainless steel eyebolts can be mounted on special stainless steel adapters in the PVC tips at the bow.

Directionally and dimensionally stable as a hard shell kayak
When pressure occurs between the removable floor and the side walls 2 outer hull sections who own the kayak extremely stable make and the kayak a extremely good leadershipgive.
The wedge-shaped construction reduces susceptibility to wind of the kayak and offers at the same time more space. The Da Vinci Air kayak is filled with 10 PSI pressure dimensionally stable like a hard-shell kayak.
The hull is extremely resistant to external impacts as well UV and salt water resistant.
The first 100% dropstitch kayak with removable floor
The one-off removable Flex Floor is fastened with stainless steel pins and can thus be removed quickly and easily without tools.
Removing the bottom of the kayak allows for a smaller packing size and a thorough cleaning, which is significantly heavier and more complex with the firmly glued floor.
Prepared for extra large rudder
All Da Vinci Vario kayaks are from 2023 easy and uncomplicated with a extra large and specially designed for the Da Vinci kayaks control sheet and practical control pedals expandable.
You can use the control sheet quickly and easily without tools to the socket provided at the rear assemble. Control and prehaul ropes are fixed to the footrests and off you go.
The steering helps with maneuvering and improves directional stability. Especially if you often paddle in pairs, the rudder can do it facilitate steering.
