I’m sure this is something that the outdoors person will really appreciate and find value in. There’s something very serene about being out on the water in a canoe, paddling, obtaining some exercise as well as some piece of mind just observing nature.

Hammacher Schlemmer has available a transparent two seater canoe-kayak.

Created using a transparent polymer hull, the hybrid canoe-kayak provides unprecedented views under the surface of the water, something that a traditional canoe is unable to provide. The polymer used to design the hull is actually the same material that is found in the cockpit canopies of fighter planes, hence you can be assured of the strength and sturdiness of this canoe-kayak.

Standard accessories with this canoe-kayak include 2 paddles, a water bailer and two flotation devices. The recommended minimum age to use the canoe is 16 years of age.

At a cost of $1600, I’m sure there will be many nature lovers that will find considerable enjoyment with this unit.
