An 11 ft High-Weight Capacity Throw-And-Go With An Emphasis On Paddling Performance.

The CK1 Venture provides a completely customizable platform for every kind of paddler. This kayak was designed to navigate a wide range of waterways with ease and versatility. From camping and fishing to spending time in nature with your family, the CK1 is ready for your next venture.

Specs

  • Length: 11'
  • Width: 34"
  • Weight: 65 Lbs
  • Capacity: 400 Lbs

Features

Built To Paddle

Patented Hull Design

One of the most important features of any kayak is the shape and design of the hull—something we here at Crescent take great pride in. The signature, full-length keel offers incredible tracking for an 11' boat. A more aggressive rocker profile keeps you above the water in rougher conditions offshore and on the river. Enhanced second stability improves play, paddling performance, and confidence while standing.

Ready for Any Venture

New Storage Solutions

The CK1 Venture features our new removable 600 Denier SDP bow cover with a water-resistant zipper pocket and paddle park. Large bow and stern passthrough tankwells add to the open feel and can accommodate all the gear you'll need. Dual cockpit cupholders and stash trays are perfect for keeping you hydrated, organized, and your essentials within reach. 

Open & Roomy

Cockpit & Seat

The cockpit design on the CK1 Venture is intentionally open, providing ample legroom in an 11' kayak. The internal structural design, paired with the highest-quality American-Made resin available, make a solid standing platform. Our removable seats are crafted, stitched, and powder-coated in the Southeast—where we call home. The foot track system adjusts to comfortably accommodate any size paddler. 

A Customizable Platform

GearTracs & Mounts

We teamed up with the folks at YakAttack to ensure that our boats are fully equipped with the best mounting systems and offer our paddlers limitless customization. Two Gear Tracks along the cockpit offer close and convenient mounting options for gear. The two MightyMounts behind the cockpit are perfect for rod holders or camera mounts. The two Gear Tracks in the back allow for customizable bungee and storage options. The CK1 Venture, like its predecessors, features a transom capable of mounting trolling motors.

Great Boat

Love this kayak especially for the price. It’s stable, comfortable, suprisingly quick, and looks great as well. It’s hull design also makes it a very versatile boat making it great for flat water, rivers, fishing, kayak camping, oceans, and mild whitewater. For its size it also quite light, and nimble while also having incredible tracking. Would definitely recommend and buy again. I also highly recommend Festive Water. Very friendly and knowledgeable crew and when they didn’t have the color I wanted they even drove down to the factory the next day to get me one and delivered it to my house.

Fantastic Customer Service!

I live in NM so I needed a Crescent Kayak shipped from GA, and Tim made everything so easy for me. He managed everything, from picking up my kayak from Crescent an hour away from his store, to finding a reputable, affordable shipper. My kayak arrived safe and sound, and when it was discovered that Crescent had forgotten to include scupper plugs, Tim sent some to me. I was recommended Festive Water from another satisfied customer I met on social media, so it's pretty obvious that Festive Watersports already has a great reputation. You can't go wrong buying anything you need for your watersports from this company!

Amazing kayak at an equally Amazing shop!

Love, love, love this kayak!

I bought it when I was close to 300lbs, given its 400lb weight limit. It handled perfectly at that weight as well as at my current weight of 230lbs. So it's a great option for bigger folks.

The included stadium seat is incredibly comfortable. The height doesn't seem to pose a problem given the boat's incredible stability.

Speaking of, stability is solid - this is a very stable boat. But you should know that Crescent opted for more secondary stability vs primary, which means that this boat may feel a bit "tippy" at first until you get used to its characteristics. The good news is the increased secondary stability means that you're not going to flip fully over unless you really try. This design allows for some really fun mild whitewater river running without constantly flipping out of the boat.

Tracking is fantastic due to its full length keel - even on flatwater. But you're not limited to just calm waters with this! The raised bow and overall hull construction allows for great handling on Class I-II rapids.

It's 11' length allows for reasonable speed.

The only drawback for some may be the size/weight. At 11' and just over 60lbs, it's not a small kayak. Be sure you have a way of handling/loading this before buying. Also there are no built-in storage hatches; this can be a pro for some and a con for others. The con is obvious - less storage, but the pro is that the boat is a solid, one-piece design that does not intake water into the hull at all. Despite this, storage options are still available on this model! There are bungee tie-downs in the rear, and up front there is a paddle keeper pocket to slide your paddle in when not using (in addition to paddle bungee holders on the sides; I end up using the pocket up front more often). The paddle keeper pocket up front also has a zippered pocket that you can fit your phone, keys, etc., in that is nearly waterproof. There are also optional Crescent branded pockets (non-waterproof) you can install anywhere on the boat to hold whatever you'd like.

Overall, I highly recommend this kayak to anyone looking for a solid SoT that can do both flat water and river running. I especially recommend it for larger folks who have a hard time finding a boat that meets their weight requirements.
