The Cetus is a fast cruiser designed as a load carrier. New in 2007, it’s the natural P&H choice for paddlers looking for a stable expedition platform or a fast, easy to paddle boat for long distance paddles.
However it's not just a boat for long trips, it’s equally as capable as a fast day cruiser. The Cetus includes a fourth hatch in easy reach in front of the cockpit. It’s proving more and more popular with paddlers who want somewhere quick and easy to reach to stow a camera or day gear when things are getting a bit rougher.
New smaller versions: the LV and MV
The Cetus LV (low volume) sea kayak is aimed at the smaller or lighter paddler. Designing a sea kayak with your stature in mind ensures that you have the same experience with full control of the boat out there on the water as everybody else.
The MV (medium volume) is fast paced, responsive and really easy to carve and turn, the middle ground for those who want a bit of extra volume over the LV but are too light for the original Cetus.
The Scorpio: a Cetus in Corelite
The Scorpio is the Corelite version of the Cetus. Corelite, P&H's foam core polyethylene, saves weight, increases toughness and gives greater stiffness compared with other polyethylene boats.
