Plastic SKUK Sea Kayaks

Sport & Sportive — Tough, Affordable, British-Built

Get £91 in SKW course credit with every plastic SKUK purchase.
SKUK's plastic kayaks give you legendary Romany handling in a tough, affordable package. Perfect for beginners, rocky coastlines, or anyone who wants to paddle hard without worrying about scratches.

Why Choose Plastic?

Tough as nails Drag it up beaches, bounce off rocks, scrape through rock gardens. Plastic shrugs off impacts that would damage composite.
Affordable entry point Get genuine SKUK quality at a fraction of composite prices. Upgrade later if you want—or don't. Many paddlers stay with plastic for life.
Low maintenance No gel coat to worry about. Scratches don't affect performance. Just rinse and go.
Great for learning Focus on developing skills, not protecting your investment. The Sport and Sportive are forgiving boats that reward good technique.
