Detailed information

Product detailed description

Product description

The Nortik Argo, named after the legendary Argonaut ship from Greek mythology, is the epitome of power, speed and durability in the world of folding kayaks. Like its mythical namesake, which helped Jason and 50 of Greece's greatest heroes overcome countless obstacles in their quest for the Golden Fleece, the Nortik Argo is designed to guide you safely through all your water adventures.

Design and construction

Nortik Argo is designed as a large touring kayak, but it is not afraid of smaller adventures. At 520 cm long and 62 cm wide, the Argo offers more volume and cargo space than its smaller brother, the Nortik Navigator. This extra space will be especially appreciated by more robust paddlers or those planning longer expeditions with more gear.

The design and innovative hull shape is strongly reminiscent of the Nortik Navigator, making the Argo its "big brother". This resemblance is no coincidence - both models share a number of outstanding features that make them the ultimate sea kayaks.

Materials and durability

The kayak's rugged shell is made from a proven PVC/PU blend that stands out for its durability and longevity. The material is also UV stable and has a higher abrasion resistance compared to conventional PVC. This ensures a long life of the kayak even with intensive use in demanding conditions.

To reduce weight and keep the price affordable, anodized aluminum was chosen for the frame construction. Although aluminium requires a little more care when used in salt water (CorroFilm is recommended, see accessories), it is significantly lighter than other materials. As a result, the entire kayak weighs just 19 kg, which is remarkable considering its size and ruggedness.

Driving characteristics

The Nortik Argo is characterised by a pleasant stability that will make even beginners feel confident. Combined with excellent handling and directional stability, the Argo offers a great riding experience for paddlers of all experience levels.

Thanks to its design, the Argo picks up speed easily and maintains a high pace without any problems. At the same time, it maintains excellent directional stability and, thanks to the side-moulded air chambers, provides the necessary lateral stability. This makes it an ideal choice for long trips on the open sea, but it is equally at home on lakes or wide enough rivers.

Equipment and accessories

The Nortik Argo comes standard with a number of features that enhance its utility and safety:

  • Installed keel belt for better protection of the bottom of the kayak
  • Reinforcement strips on the upper edges of the deck and on the ridge bars
  • Two watertight sealed decks (cargo openings)
  • Comfortable adjustable suspension seat
  • Thigh rests for better kayak control
  • Deck rigging including perimeter rope
  • Hernia and reinforcement belts
  • Repair kit

Thanks to this feature, the Argo is completely sealed and has no open seams that could let water in. This makes it a truly watertight kayak, ideal for rough sea conditions.

Transport and storage

Despite its impressive dimensions, the Nortik Argo stays true to the philosophy of folding kayaks - when folded, it fits into a single backpack measuring 120 x 45 x 25 cm. This makes it significantly easier to transport and store. Whether you travel by car, train or plane, the Argo will always be ready for your next adventure.

Optional accessories

For even better customization to your needs, Nortik offers a range of optional accessories:

  • Steering gear for better maneuverability in challenging conditions
  • Footrests for more comfortable paddling
  • Hatch covers for additional protection of the load compartments
  • Apron made of thermal PU for protection against water and cold
  • Sea sock to keep the kayak clean and increase safety

Assembly and maintenance

The Nortik Argo kayak is easy and intuitive to assemble thanks to its sophisticated instructions. The detailed 27-page manual provides clear instructions with pictures for every step of the process. The average build time is approximately 20 minutes, allowing for quick launching and maximum use of time on the water.

In terms of maintenance, the Argo requires minimal care. After use in salt water, a thorough freshwater rinse is recommended, especially in the case of aluminium construction. Regular inspection and possible treatment of joints and critical points will ensure the longevity and reliability of your kayak.
