Happy-go-lucky
The Point 65 Nemo is a cute, comfortable and stable recreational kayak for the whole family, made for day excursions, fishing, photographing or simply playing.
It is designed for stability and comfort and is aimed at entry level paddlers looking for an affordable kayak that is easy to handle on and off the water. It is small and light enough for easy carrying and loading so you can take it with you wherever you go.
The 1-layer polyethylene (PE) construction provides a combination of strength and impact resistance that many other materials can’t match.
At 3,5m, (11’10”) the Nemo cruises along nicely and tracks surprisingly well for its length. It has enough volume to carry a heavy paddler and gear.
The Nemo is available in 2 versions - the Nemo Basic, which is the most affordable kayak in our range and the Nemo Expedition which includes a rear hatch and watertight bulkhead as well as foot braces for greater comfort and control.
Further Secs:
Warranty: 2 years
Aft Hatch: 44 x 26 cm (17,3" x 10,3")
Capacity: 135 kg (298 lbs)

About Me
Kayaking for about 3 years with experience in a variety of kayaks from sea and surf to a little white water. 6' 2" and 12.5 stone
Pros / The Good
Great build quality - very solid and very comfortable. Surprisingly fast as all the reviews mention - I've had no problem keping up with the 17ft+ fibre galss guys on short sea trips so either the design is good or I'm incredible... Large cockpit - so easy access - and rounded front decking so little wave-breaking wash comes towards the spraydeck. Good size hatches that fit superbly with no deck felxing when popping them into place
Cons / The Bad
A wee bit on the heavy side for a shortish kayak - but then that's why the quality and thickness of materials is so noticeable - and the build quality is a mentionable feature. On the wide side - but then that's also a plus if you want stability
