The Journey inspires confidence.  Like all Jackson Kayak designs, this touring model is 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 comes in two sizes, 13.5 and 14 feet.  These two sizes are designed to paddle similarly, but offer a sizing solution for folks of different sizes.  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.  Optional is the best-in-class “Smart Track” rudder system, which offers the highest performance of any design we tested, and typically is only found on the most expensive kayaks in the market.

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.
