01 — HULL & STABILITY

Jackson's largest-capacity hull, rock-solid for standing

The TakeTwo carries up to 500 lbs on an open-deck, high-and-dry hull that's stable enough to stand and fish. Iconic JK stability paddles confidently solo or fully loaded as a tandem.

  • 500 lb max capacity — Jackson's largest-capacity kayak
  • Open deck with high-and-dry seating for drier, longer days on the water

New Comfort Seat 5.0 on the patented EZ Hi-Lo system

Every 2026 TakeTwo ships with the Comfort Seat 5.0, built with a deeper ergonomic base for better posture and a lower center of gravity. The patented EZ Hi-Lo system raises and lowers each seat with one hand.

  • Comfort Seat 5.0 for improved support and a more connected feel
  • One-handed EZ Hi-Lo height adjustment (patented)
  • Tandem, solo, and flip-around 'Facetime' seating positions

Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.

The Jackson TakeTwo is the brand's largest-capacity kayak — a versatile tandem built for fishing, recreational paddling, and multi-day adventures. Paddleable solo or tandem, it brings a decade of Jackson innovation together in one capable, stable hull. Iconic JK stability makes it a confident platform for standing and fishing, while the open deck and high-and-dry seating keep you and a partner (or your dog) comfortable for hours on the water.

New for 2026
