Current Designs - Solstice GTS Fiberglass

Final Sale

Efficiency is the defining quality of the Solstice GTS, a North American touring kayak built to cover serious distance without wearing you out.

At 17'7", this is a long-haul sea kayak that rewards a strong forward stroke. The sleek hull accelerates quickly and holds speed well, making it a great choice for paddlers who love open crossings, multi-day coastal trips, or simply want a boat that feels fast and purposeful on big Canadian lakes and tidal waters. The soft chine and shallow arch hull deliver smooth, progressive edging with solid initial stability, so the boat feels secure and predictable even when conditions pick up.

Current Designs builds the Solstice GTS with vacuum-bagged fibreglass laminate, a construction method that places reinforcing material exactly where it's needed. The result is a boat that's notably stiffer and lighter than standard fibreglass, with a finish that's clean inside and out. The touring cockpit keeps you locked in with integrated thigh braces for confident edging and rolling, while the two generous hatches swallow enough gear for extended expeditions.
