Pirate Queen Paddling carries Sit-On-Top kayaks by Wilderness Systems. Sit-on-top kayaks are self-bailing, allow for easy hop on, hop off, and are often the choice for kayak fishing.

Wilderness Systems Tarpon Series

The redesigned 2009 Tarpon series offers improved performance by enhancing the bow lift for gliding through the surf and increased tankwell storage space.  Raised floors offer an even drier ride in the seating area. The real headliner, though, is the improvement of the total experience made possible by a series of new outfitting and deck innovations.

Tribe 9.5

An affordable, easy to paddle, and great looking sit-on-top, the most surprising thing about the Tribe 9.5 is how great it paddles. It performs great in surf and rough ocean conditions, but is also speedy and maneuverable on flat water and lazy rivers. The Tribe is a low-maintenance kayak, but don't mistake simplicity for slow and bulky. It offers speed, control, and comfort.

Standard Features: Molded-In side handles, Skid plate, Molded-In footbraces, Bow and stern tankwell with bungees, Self-bailing scupper tubes, Molded-In seating, Ergonomic design, Stackable up to 4 high.

Tribe 11.5

The Tribe 11.5  is about easy care, ease of use, and good times, all the way down to the bright color options. But don’t mistake low maintenance for low performance. This SOT is equally comfortable surfing ocean waves or cruising lakes and lazy rivers. Makes a great all-around boat for larger paddlers. It is a great fit for the discerning price-conscious paddler or an entire family, from beginners to veterans. And to the joy of storage-challenged folks everywhere: they stack.

Standard Features: Molded-In side handles, Skid plate, Molded-In footbraces, Bow and stern tankwell with bungees, Self-bailing scupper tubes, Molded-In seating, Soft touch handles, Ergonomic design, Stackable up to 4 high.
