Comfort

Comfort is everything on the water, which is why the Tribe introduces high-end features, like premium seating, to the everyday paddler. The Comfort Seating System with thick ventilated padding has an adjustable seatback that reclines forward or backward for customized support. It also folds flat for stackable storage. Multiple footrest options let you choose the most comfortable position possible.

Stability & Performance

The Tribe’s cutting-edge design offers exceptional speed and maneuverability, along with added stability that keeps you drier than comparable sit-on models. Its sleek hull tracks straight, yet turns on a dime, making it easy to control for performance you can feel as your skills progress. Offered in three sizes, the Tribe’s speed, storage capacity, and stability increase with each size. The 13.5 tandem model accommodates two paddlers (and a small pet) while still being a blast to paddle solo.

Features & Safety

The Tribe is engineered to be among the safest kayaks on the water with built-in buoyancy and stability that lets you focus on fun. Spacious front and rear compartments include bungee cord lashes to secure cooler or gear bags of any shape or size. A molded-in cup holder and center hatch with built-in bag and protective lid keep essentials handy. Molded-in carry handles offer lockable security points for car top transportation and outdoor storage.

Durability

Like all Perception kayaks, the Tribe is designed for maximum durability and optimized weight. This is the result of its high-density polyethylene and one-piece roto-molded construction that provides exceptional UV, impact, and abrasion-resistance. The Tribe includes an easily replaceable skid plate for added protection when dragging your gear-loaded kayak to the water.
