I went on a glass bottom boat trip last summer and I loved getting to watch the fish. So, when I decided to go shopping for a boat myself, I wanted something that could replicate that experience. The transparent clear kayak seemed like the best decision! So, how much does a transparent kayak cost?
A transparent kayak costs between $1,500 and $3,000 on average. Cost will vary based on size, included accessories, and number of passengers. Kayaks are most commonly available in 1 or 2 passenger models. Some styles include additional space for storage.
A transparent clear kayak is worth it for any recreational boater who wants to see what lies below!
A transparent clear kayak is a window into an underwater world. This see-through boat allows the passenger to gaze below the water. You’ll observe fish and other creatures depending where you choose to boat. If that excites you, then a clear kayak is worth the investment.
This clear canoe kayak hybrid is a two-passenger model. It supports up to 425 pounds, which should be comfortable for two adults and some supplies. Each seat back has a storage pouch, and there are two flotation device pouches at the front and rear of the boat. The two seats are adjustable and ergonomic, for comfort during long trips. You’ll be able to adjust your legroom, so even tall passengers will fit. The seats are quick-drying as well, so any splashes or potential tips won’t leave you sitting in a soggy mess.
Two 86” aluminum and fiberglass paddles provide the power for this kayak. Drop down the adjustable skeg as needed to course correct. This canoe kayak is a wide, low frame which gives greater stability and means better balance. That’s perfect for gazing at the world below, giving less focus on staying upright!

What are transparent kayaks made of?
Transparent kayaks are made of a clear, molded polymer hull. A metal frame is inserted for stability, and to support the installation of seats. The paddles are generally made of aluminum, which is lightweight and durable.
This particular clear kayak is made of 6mm thick Lexan, which is a polymer used in fighter jets. A 6061 anodized aluminum frame is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant.
