Crescent Kayaks Primo: American-Made Performance & Value
Get ready to experience the perfect blend of performance, value, and proud American-made craftsmanship with the Crescent Primo kayak! This isn’t just another kayak; it’s an all-around, primo quality vessel designed to elevate your time on the water. Crafted using the highest quality resin, the Primo comes packed with premium features like Crescent’s innovative Hi-low design with a frame seat and our patented hull. You can even customize your Primo with pad kits, GearTracs, and a Power Pole/motor mount location. We’ve masterfully blended stability, performance, and capacity to ensure paddlers of any experience level will feel completely confident, ready for a lifetime of adventure.
Masterful Design for Confidence on the Water
The Primo truly shines with its patented hull design, a testament to Crescent’s commitment to both stability and our signature paddling performance. We’ve thoughtfully added volume to the outside chines and incorporated a full-length, compressed keel, creating a perfect harmony of performance and stability. This ensures that paddlers, no matter their experience level, will feel incredibly confident and secure on the water. The carefully designed rocker profile and bow volume guarantee your kayak rides high and dry through swells and currents, all while remaining surprisingly nimble and easy to maneuver. With an impressive 375 lbs weight capacity, this kayak is built for all ages and all their gear! Plus, its lightweight construction combined with its superb paddling abilities makes the Primo the ultimate “throw-and-go” kayak, ready for adventure whenever you are.
Thoughtful Storage & Premium Features, Bow to Stern
Every aspect of the Primo’s design, from bow to stern, has been meticulously considered, proving that an affordable kayak can indeed be packed with premium features. The Primo includes a convenient Paddle Park with 1-inch Nylon Webbing from our friends at Rescue Technology, who craft harnesses for first responders. Each Primo color comes with its own unique colored bungee pairing, complete with hardware intentionally designed to best secure your gear. You’ll find a large tankwell that provides ample gear storage, and an embossed landing at the bottom can even be cut out to accommodate an 8-inch quarter-turn deck plate for easy interior hull access and storage. The clever pass-through design ensures easier gear access and efficient drainage. Our signature, injection-molded handles by YakAttack are located on both the bow and through the Primo for effortless handling and transport.
Ergonomic Cockpit & Versatile Rear Tankwell for Enhanced Experience
Step into the Primo’s cockpit and experience true comfort and versatility. We believe in simplicity in our layouts, which provides you with more freedom of movement and greater versatility. The Primo features our patented molded-in high-and-low seating configuration with a cam strap for easy adjustment and added compression. The self-bailing cockpit effortlessly drains directly through the scupper plugs, keeping you dry. You’ll also find dual cupholders that can easily accommodate large water bottles like Nalgenes, ensuring you stay hydrated. Adjustable foot tracks cater to different paddler heights and styles. Of course, the Primo comes standard with our hand-sewn, hand-fabricated framed seat, providing exceptional comfort right out of the box. Injection-molded handles with bungee paddle parks make for easy transportation and convenient paddle staging. Recessed locations for pad-kits ensure easy installation and long-lasting durability. Lastly, dual rod butt stagers keep your rods securely locked in when you’re moving to your next hot fishing spot.
The rear tankwell is intentionally designed to be open and highly versatile for transporting gear and accessorizing. It can easily accommodate our Kayak Cooler™ or a YakAttack BlackPak, with adjustable matching bungees perfect for securing your essentials. The industry-standard four-point mounting layout gives you the flexibility to easily add a motor or a Power Pole. The stern features a molded-in carry handle to maintain its sleek aesthetic and prevent interference with motoring. Plus, stealth routing points keep steering and throttle cables neatly hidden, and GearTrac landings utilize molded-in inserts to make accessorizing incredibly easy.
Crafted with Aquatuf® Resin, this kayak is built to last. Crescent proudly offers a lifetime warranty, trusting the same material that’s been tested in the harshest real-world conditions.
