THE NEW GENERATION IN DOUBLE MODULAR KAYAKS 

A double kayak as easy as 1, 2, 3 - Following the success of Point 65’s modular recreational kayaks - here's the double touring version. The Point 65 Mercury GTX is a high performance, stable, modular, touring kayak with a large cockpit with which to explore and then take back home in the back of your car. Like the recreational versions, the Mercury features the innovative snap tap solution. The Point 65 Snap-TAP technologies are protected under US and European patents.

The 4.15m Mercury GTX breaks apart into three manageable pieces each weighing less than 11 kg. The 1m nose section fit’s snugly into the cockpit, making for easy stowage, for example in the trunk of your car. With the additional mid piece your Mercury GTX Solo is transformed into a 5.45m high performance, expedition tandem. Created by award-winning design engineer Magnus De Brito, the Mercury is a fun, versatile, high performance touring kayak and yes, a double Mercury will fit in the rear of a Mazda 3 hatch as pictured.

Performance kayaking - The Mercury GTX is a is fast, fun while comfortably stable and straight tracking kayak that snaps apart and re-assembles in only a few seconds making it by far the most easy to carry touring kayak. The rotomolded polyethylene construction provides a combination of strength and impact resistance that most other materials can’t match.

It has lot’s of dry storage space with powder dry hatches front and aft. The Mercury GTX is a rigid high-performance expedition solo/tandem - touring kayak that you can carry with a smile on your face and which will fit in the back of most cars. It will also fit comfortably in SUV, crossover and mini vans with plenty of room to spare.         
 

Solo, tandem, triple etc. - all in one. No need to buy two kayaks. Snap in the tandem mid-section and your Mercury 14 expedition Solo is transformed into a high-performance Mercury 18 Tandem - so you can bring a friend. Add another mid section and your Mercury becomes a triple and so forth!
