Darrens Kayaks

Delighted to say we now have the perfect kayak for our lake anglers who need a hull that is stable with raised seat for sight casting and yet fast enough to get to open water marks quickly and to top it off with the seat lowered can also take on coastal trips with confidence - The Vibe Kayaks Seaghost 130 🐟😎

Super Autumn bargain for someone, this Viking Kayaks Profish 400 in great condition paired with a Bixpy J2 only used a handful of times for €1890 - there will be a new paddle and backrest with the kayak and the Bixpy comes with a 6 month warranty and optional w**d guard and extension cable - pm if interested for more details 😊

Have to say I'm delighted with our new entry level fishing kayak the Riot Kayaks Escape 10 - it's high volume stable platform hull tracks like a 12 foot kayak and yet is super maneuverable and it's cleverly designed deck has everything easily to hand with plenty of slide rails to accessorise just as you like 😎

More happy customers picking up kayaks 😊 Kevin with his Viking Kayaks Profish 400 and Damien had a good look at our 11, 12, 13 and 14 foot sea kayak options and settled on the sleek Boreal Design Baltic 120 😎 - If you would like help choosing the perfect kayak for you just give us a shout 👍

Having fished off his Viking Kayaks Profish 400 for the last few seasons Declan decided it was time for a Bixpy motor so he dropped off his kayak and went fishing off the rocks for the day whilst we got busy with the rigging in the workshop - the Bixpy has to be one of the simplest and innovative designs to motorize your kayak and here's to Declan enjoying many seasons ahead of hands free fishing 🐟😎

Thanks to Colin, Mags and Tom for sending in these pics of their Viking Kayaks - Colin and Mags enjoying their time out fishing 🐟 and Tom enjoying exploring the mud flats and birds 🦆 of Dungarvan's Western Bay 😎

The only thing predictable these days about the unpredictable weather is Viking Kayaks with their stable low center of gravity seating and fast efficient hulls will give you more windows of opportunity to get out on the water - this cool Viking Profish 400 we rigged recently with fish finder along with rigging pics for the tech heads 😎

Our latest rigging, the ultimate coastal fishing combo - Viking Kayaks Profish 400 with Bixpy Jet 😎

A busy time of demonstration sessions on the water and more happy customers leaving with kayaks that suit them 😎 If you would like to book an appointment to start your journey of finding the perfect kayak for you just drop us an email and we will do our best to help 😊

Dave was looking for a comfortable sit in kayak that was stable and fast enough to keep up with his friends on river and saltwater trecks so we recommended the Riot Kayaks Enduro 12, it's also fully rigged for fishing so that's an additional bonus 😎🐟 If you would like advice on what kayak will best suit your needs just give us a call and we will do our very best to help or point you in the right direction 😃

More pedal drive fun, this time with the Riot Kayaks Versa, was very impressed with the stability and easy handling of this versatile kayak in choppy waters, if you are thinking of a hands free pedal drive kayak give us a shout and we will do our best to find one that best suits your needs 😀🐟

Another happy customer, Luke with his new Vibe Kayaks Makana pedal drive that he demo tested with us to make sure it suited 😎 If you would like to book an appointment to view our extensive range of fishing kayaks just get in touch to start the journey to finding the perfect kayak for your needs 😁

As the old mariner saying goes, don't fight the winds, use them !! And with the ever increasing windy weather we are getting this is more true than ever 😁- Some fun riggings in the workshop recently fitting Pacific Action Sail Systems to customer's kayaks, if you would like advice on what sail would best suit your kayak or would like to book a rigging just give us a call 😎

Our pedal drive options are proving very popular this season, it was great to meet up with Jonas collecting his Vibe Kayaks Shearwater and plenty of exciting models left in stock so if you would like to book a viewing just give us a shout 🐟👍

This cool Dagger Stratos 14.5L just into us, just one year old with the usual hull marks, a multipurpose kayak both stable enough for beginners and with outfitting to advance your skills on moving water - a great kayak for coastal exploration - PM if you would like more details and photographs👍

Selling this for a customer, tandem fishing kayak, due to change of circumstance has never been used - comes with aluminium chairs, new paddles and rod holders (not the trolley) €450 all in, the seats are very comfortable but raise your center of gravity so best suited to inland waterways and sheltered coves - please PM me for more details if interested 👍

Another great session on the water this time with Finbarr and Fionnuala, they were looking for a couple of safe sit-on kayaks to explore the scenic Bantry Bay coastline and we were happy to help - the conditions in Bantry Bay can get choppy and windy so we needed to look at kayaks with a nice blend of stability and efficiency and ended up with a Viking Kayaks Nemo for Fionnuala and a Riot Kayaks Marlin for Finbarr in matching sky blue colours 😎 If you would like any advice on what kayaks will best suit your needs just give us a call and we will do our best to help or point you in the right direction 🚣👍

Tom was a wonderful reminder as to why we set up Darrens kayaks over 20 years ago - A truly lovely guy and keen outdoor enthusiast Tom had never paddled and to coin the phrase "it's never too late to start" he contacted us to see if we could help him and see if he liked it - a thoroughly enjoyable water session later and Tom was hooked 😎 The kayak we recommended was a Viking Kayaks Nemo and Tom headed back to Dungarvan looking forward to his exciting new hobby 😎

With beautiful Redstrand on his doorstep, Liam was looking for kayaks for his family to get onto the water and no need to look any further than the super versatile Viking Kayaks Nemo to do some mini treks, a spot of fishing and small surf play - all that was left was to choose the colours - Happy days 😎

Jerry was looking for a kayak for himself to explore the many wonderful inland waterways of the midlands and an entry level tandem for his friend, the only challenge was getting them both back to Ennis.....with over 20 years experience of loading kayaks I said no problem 😎 and the rest as they say is history 🚣😁

Aaron was looking for a versatile Pedal driven fishing kayak so what better one to suggest than the all new Riot Kayaks Versa.....Versa by name and Versatile by nature 😎 Whether you want to paddle, pedal or add a motor the Riot Versa can do it all and to top it off it's lightweight hull is easy to manage both on and off the water - If you would like to check out this or any of our other fishing kayaks then simply make an appointment and we look forward to seeing you 👍

It was with great excitement we received a batch of thermoformed sea kayaks on our last shipment as we have been wanting to stock these cool kayaks for some time and the wait was definitely worth it - these kayaks are sleek and stable and paddle as well as they look and are a fraction the weight of their composite counterparts - Thomas and Patrick were very happy with their demo paddle and headed off with two striking Boreal Design Compass 140 kayaks and smiles to match 😃😎

Summer Vibes are here 😀 It has been all go recently getting our Vibe Kayaks ready for collection as they headed up the West coast from Waterford to Wexford to Monaghan !! Thanks to Ryan for sending in a pic of his first catch on his Shearwater and he wasn't long christening it on his first trip out 🐟😎 - If you would like to get in on some Vibe pedal action just give us a shout 👍

There's a Marlin in Dunmanus Bay 🐟......well we can only dream !! Dropped this cool Riot Kayaks Marlin off just up the road to what has to be the coolest house there is right on Ahakista Pier......A fitting home for a majestic Marlin 😎

Been very lax on posts I'm afraid this last while as we had a container arrive in to sort through and get kayaks ready for customers but back on track now 😎 Looking at Ken and Isabelle's smiles it looks like the wait was worth it 😃 The blue skies day was perfect to line up all the options and Ken went for the versatile Riot Kayaks Edge 15 to hone his paddling skills and Isabell the stable efficient Edge 13 - If you would like to arrange a visit to help choose a kayak to best suit your needs just give us a shout 👍
