Tuktu - Standard version
The Delsyk Tuktu is a wonderful boat that makes access to the water as easy as jumping on a bike. Remarkably light at 41 lbs, the Tuktu can be easily transported and carried. Its larger cockpit opening makes it very suitable for fishing and photograpy, and its stable, yet fast hull form is truly a joy to paddle.

Further, having a relatively open cockpit allows easy access to gear you want access to, allowing you to fish, photograph or enjoy a lunch on the water.

- Ease of ajustment to optimize Seat Fit
- Integrated Thigh Pads allow grip and movement

Nifty Details
Skeg or Rudder?
A skeg, when deployed, keeps the kayak on track, neutralizing the
effect of wind and waves. The Nifty skeg is located on the stern and is
easily dropped into position by gravity when you release the deck line
from its cleat.
The Nifty rudder provides more directional control than a skeg, useful
for navigating technical routes where turning power and control is
essential. Delsyk Design’s high quality rudder is made of anodized and
powder coated 6061 T6 aluminum for its superior strength
and stiffness.
