Old Town Twin Heron Tandem Kayak
Description
The Old Town Twin Heron is a uniquely versatile tandem kayak built for families, couples, and adventurous paddlers who want the flexibility to share the water or go it alone. Thanks to its patented Auto Trim Hull design, the bow stays low and balanced even when paddled solo from the stern - no awkward tilting or loss of control. The removable front seat opens up the cockpit for gear storage, a cooler, or a four-legged co-pilot, making it one of the most adaptable kayaks in its class.
Stretching 13 feet 6 inches with a stable 31.5-inch beam, the Twin Heron is built for recreational paddling on lakes, slow rivers, and calm coastal waters. Four flush-mount rod holders (two bow, two stern) make it a natural fit for tandem fishing trips, while Comfort Flex adjustable seats and Glide Track foot braces keep both paddlers comfortable on long outings. Rotomolded from three-layer polyethylene right here in Maine, USA, this kayak is engineered to last and backed by a limited lifetime hull warranty.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Can the Twin Heron be paddled solo?
Yes - the Twin Heron is specifically designed for solo use as well as tandem. The Auto Trim Hull keeps the bow from riding too high when you're seated alone in the stern, and the front seat is fully removable to free up space for gear or a pet. It's one of the few tandem kayaks that genuinely performs well with just one paddler.
Can I bring my dog in the Twin Heron?
Absolutely. Removing the front seat opens up the bow area into a comfortable, stable space for a dog. The spacious cockpit and 500 lb total weight capacity make it easy to bring along a furry paddling companion without sacrificing stability or comfort.
Is the Twin Heron good for fishing?
Yes - it comes standard with four flush-mount rod holders (two in the bow, two in the stern), so both paddlers can fish simultaneously. The stable 31.5-inch beam and spacious open cockpit give you plenty of room to manage gear, tackle, and a catch. It's a great entry point for tandem fishing on calm lakes and slow rivers.
Does the Twin Heron require assembly?
The Twin Heron arrives mostly ready to use. The seats and foot braces can be adjusted to fit each paddler, but there is no complex assembly required. You'll be on the water quickly after unboxing.
How is the Twin Heron shipped?
Due to its 13 ft 6 in length and 63 lb weight, the Twin Heron typically ships via freight on a pallet. Please email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for specific shipping details and a delivery ETA before ordering if you have questions about delivery logistics.
What waterways is the Twin Heron best suited for?
The Twin Heron is designed for recreational paddling on calm to mildly moving water - think flat lakes, ponds, slow-moving rivers, and protected coastal inlets. It's not designed for whitewater or open ocean conditions. Its wide, stable beam makes it forgiving and easy to control for beginners and casual paddlers.
