The Crystal Kayak Company has created a delightful transparent kayak that lets you gaze upon marine life swimming right under it. The Crystal Explorer kayak, priced at $1499, is eleven feet long, three feet wide, and can accommodate up to two people. Designed as a canoe-kayak hybrid, the Crystal Explorer is made from a clear polycarbonate material called Lexan, which penetrates the surface tension of the water allowing an unobstructed view of the sea life below from the dry safety of the kayak. The high sides and low center of gravity make the canoe-kayak quite accessible even for beginners. Cleaning the kayak is easy too, for it requires just a freshwater rinse after use. The boat weighs 47 lbs, takes one hour to assemble and can be disassembled after use. It is accompanied by two-piece painted aluminum bodied paddles, while an upgraded fiberglass version with blade angle adjustment is also available.
