The Pamlico 135T fits couples, parents with kids, and friends who share a boat. It also fits solo paddlers who want a big, stable platform for fishing or photography and like the option of bringing someone along. With a 500-pound capacity, it handles two adults plus gear, or one adult plus a kid plus a cooler, with room to spare.

Why it stands out
- Stability and On-Water Feel: The Pamlico’s signature rounded hull gives it swift acceleration and easy maneuverability for a tandem.
- Seat Comfort: The Phase 3 AirPro tandem outfitting is genuinely comfortable, with ventilated mesh over ergonomic foam that keeps you cool.
- Storage and Rigging: The Orbix stern hatch with a sealed bulkhead keeps gear dry and adds flotation, which is a safety feature a lot of budget tandems skip.
- Paddle Performance: Two paddlers make the 135T move.
