Lightweight | Performance-Driven | Great for UK Waters
The Delta 17 is a premium, full-sized touring kayak designed for paddlers who want to go further, faster, and enjoy day long comfort. Weighing just 50 lbs (22.7 kg), it delivers exceptional performance without the bulk—perfect for UK paddling conditions, from inland waterways to coastal adventures. The sleek 17-foot profile offers reassuring stability along with outstanding glide and tracking making this a kayak that is suitable for relative novices wanting to progress their skills through to the very experienced.
The thermoformed ABS construction provides a strong, UV-resistant, and lightweight build that’s easy to transport and durable. The adjustable Contour II Seat System delivers customisable lumbar support and cushioned seating for all-day outings, while adjustable thigh braces and foot pegs offer a secure and ergonomic fit for great control. Stylish deck lines and premium finishes give the Delta 17 a modern, high-performance look that stands out both on and off the water.
Distinctive chines form a V section at bow and stern rapidly graduating into well-defined soft rails with a good planing surface through the centre section. This profile provides great straight line tracking and responsive edging with easy release for smooth transitions. Supplied with an easy to deploy spring loaded skeg system that has been designed to be snag free. The skeg can be lowered in increments to enable you to optimise tracking in a wide variety of conditions.
Ample front and rear hatch storage (separate compartments with sealed bulkheads), plus a convenient day hatch, make the Delta 17 expedition-ready—ideal for weekend getaways or longer UK paddling trips. The hard shelled PressLock covers are slightly domed so shed water very nicely, they also help to increase the structural integrity of the deck and will not implode in the case of excess pressure on any of the hatches.
Whether you are paddling a glassy canal, playing on ocean swells or heading off for a few days camping the stylish Delta Kayaks 17 will deliver the performance you need.

Advanced Thermoform Construction
Delta Kayaks are made using a proprietary blend of thermoplastic materials. An ABS base layer (1) provides superior impact-resistance and rigidity, while the Solarkote exterior surface (2) contributes outstanding abrasion and UV resistance for a smooth, bright finish and vibrant, lasting colours. Thanks to Delta's advanced thermoform construction, Delta kayaks are not just tough and good-looking — they’re also among the lightest on the market.
