Like all Jackson Kayak designs, the Journey 13.5, inspires confidence.

It's all about balance, blending stability with outstanding performance characteristics and exceptional comfort.  The Journey tracks very well and offers tremendous speed for crossing open waters.  The Journey is built-out with three hatches, reflective perimeter safety lines, and ample deck rigging.  The interior outfitting is pulled straight from our legendary whitewater kayaks and includes countouring hip pads, a touring-specific version of our infinitely adjustable “Sure-Lock” back band, thigh pads, and an ultra-comfortable seat. Whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or the most seasoned paddler looking for heavy water rock garden paddling, this boat will take you further than you have ever imagined.
