Wilderness Systems Pamlico 135T 13′6″ Sit-Inside Tandem Kayak – Convertible to Solo, Phase 3 AirPro Seats & Rear Dry Hatch

Experience tandem paddling at its finest with the Wilderness Systems Pamlico 135T. This best-selling 13′6″ sit-inside kayak delivers exceptional performance for pairs while offering effortless conversion to a solo setup. Equipped with adjustable Phase 3 AirPro seats, ergonomic hull design, and ample storage, the Pamlico 135T is built for comfortable all-day adventures on lakes, slow rivers, and calm coastal waters.

Signature Rounded Hull for Speed & Stability

The Pamlico 135T features Wilderness Systems’ signature rounded hull, providing swift acceleration and confident tracking. Its slender 13′6″ length and moderate 24″ beam allow you to glide through the water with minimal effort, yet maintain excellent primary stability—ideal for standing, fishing, or loading gear. Whether you’re exploring serene bays or slow-moving rivers, this kayak holds a straight course while remaining highly maneuverable.

Effortless Tandem-to-Solo Conversion

Paddle together—or go it alone. The Pamlico 135T’s modular outfitting system lets you quickly remove the rear seat to convert the kayak into a solo craft. Simply slide the removable seat out, reposition the Phase 3 AirPro seat to the center cockpit, and stow the unused seat. This seamless transition offers two boats in one, perfect for family outings, date-day excursions, or solo exploration.

Phase 3 AirPro Seats for All-Day Comfort

Both seats feature the Phase 3 AirPro seating system, combining ventilated mesh with 3D foam for superior airflow and lumbar support. Fully adjustable, the seatbacks allow forward, backward, up, and down positioning, accommodating paddlers of varying heights. Thick thigh and knee padding ensure a secure, ergonomic fit, reducing fatigue on longer trips.

Adjustable Footrests & Knee Braces

Large, padded footrests lock in place to suit each paddler’s leg length, while thigh and knee braces provide improved boat control. The sit-inside cockpit offers a snug yet comfortable fit, keeping you connected to the kayak’s stability and responsiveness—whether you’re tandem paddling or solo.

Rear Dry Storage Hatch & Bulkhead Buoyancy

Store essentials in the rear oval dry storage hatch, which keeps gear secure and dry. A stern bulkhead foam adds extra buoyancy, ensuring stability even when the hatch is fully loaded. Bring snacks, a change of clothes, or lightweight camping gear—everything stays safe and accessible.

Durable Polyethylene Construction & Easy Transport

Constructed from UV-resistant polyethylene, the Pamlico 135T stands up to repeated launches, sun exposure, and abrasion. At just 72 lbs, the tandem kayak remains surprisingly easy to load onto a roof rack or carry to the water’s edge, especially with its molded bow and stern handles. Whether you’re loading gear for two or heading out solo, transport is hassle-free.
