About Marino 565

The Marino 565 has been designed as a racing SEA KAYAK - a fast model for experienced sea paddlers. But as its minimal rocker (almost flat) hull balances its narrow width it also becomes a good choice for intermediate paddlers in flat water conditions (rivers & lakes).

Because of its versatility it can be equipped with a wide range of fittings: a Touring seat for more stability or a Racing seat for closer catch; an under stern racing rudder to minimize drag or various over stern rudders to avoid impact with underwater obstacles.

Available constructions

All our boats are available in different constructions in order to meet each customer's preferences. These have been set up to be in line with the requirements of each segment of the market - from hobbyists & clubs to top athletes - while providing the most favourable quality and price conditions for that specific group of users.

The following constructions differ in the raw materials and technologies applied during the manufacturing process. These together determine the stiffness, the weight and the overall interior look of the boat. In practice, an upper construction results a stiffer, more lightweight and more spectacular boat, but it requires more caution during use.

Besides, the standard and available fittings could be also different in different constructions. So we advise you to have a look at the "Fittings" section of this article as well.
