Start Kayak Stellar kayaks About Stellar

Lightweight kayaks from Stellar

The Stellar brand has its roots in the manufacture of kayaks for competition. This expertise in professional lightweight construction was transferred early on to leisure and touring kayaks. This means that beginners and recreational athletes also benefit from the expertise in building lightweight kayaks.

Stellar is known for its unique kayak design, which skilfully combines speed and stability. The boats utilise almost the entire length on the water and therefore glide particularly smoothly. Despite the lightweight construction and excellent workmanship, we offer a very good price-performance ratio in direct sales.

Lite Venture is a sales partner for most European countries and always offers a large selection of immediately available kayaks. The central warehouse is located at the main site in the south-west near Freiburg. From there we ship all over Europe. We are happy to advise you by phone: +49 7634/3409871.

Model overview

Lightweight kayaks for beginners: stable with easy access

These models offer very easy access to the kayak, plenty of space for sitting and some also allow you to take a child or dog with you in the cockpit. For their short length of 351 to 436 cm (from left to right), they can be paddled quite quickly.

Dragonfly

Sensational: A canoe that paddles like a kayak with a double paddle! At an incredibly light 12.5 kg it's a dream of a packboat! Perfect for one person with luggage or with a dog.

Compass 11

The kayak with very high tipping stability and generous access. Ideal for heavier / more immobile people or for taking a small child or dog with you in the cockpit.

S12

A compact and agile kayak with good directional stability in relation to its length. Large entrance with comfort and legroom, making it ideal for heavier people too.

S14S / Puffin

The solution for people who don't want to or can't sit in a kayak cockpit: At 16 kg, it is one of the lightest sit-on-top kayaks and paddles as fast as a kayak!

Light leisure kayaks: Stable with very good gliding behaviour

The S14 is Stellar's most popular and universal leisure kayak. It offers easy access, a comfortable seat, compact length and very good tipping stability. The design of the lower hull and the skeg provide excellent gliding behaviour and straight-line stability. Ideal for relaxed trips, but also for multi-day tours:

S14 G2

The basic version - ideal for paddlers in the 80 to 110 kg range. Lighter / smaller people can also use it if they want to sit comfortably with plenty of space in the kayak. Can be used on almost all waters

.

S14 G2 MOD (divisible)

The perfect choice for people who don't really have space for a kayak but don't want to do without the advantages of a lightweight rigid-hull boat. Put an end to folding or pumping and enjoy the lightness and elegance of this piece of jewellery:

S14 LV G2

The Stellar S14 LV is the ideal alternative for light and slim paddlers between 50-75 kg. The characteristics of the kayak are absolutely identical, only the deck height and seating area are adapted to suit narrower people.

S14 HV

The counterpart for heavier paddlers. The total load capacity is 175 kg. The length and width are slightly increased to provide more volume, and the seat and cockpit are also wider. The features are identical to the S14 G2.

Lightweight touring kayaks for long distances and adventures

The two models S16 and S18 Exp allow more advanced paddlers to enjoy recreational tours as well as long-distance multi-day adventures:

S16 G2

At 498 cm in length, still compact, but with more potential for long distances than the S14. The ideal touring kayak for medium-sized people weighing 70 - 100 kg.

S16 LV

This "Low Volume" version offers the same features as the S16, only optimised for the requirements of smaller and lighter people weighing 50 to 75 kg.

S18 Expedition

A fast boat with a large volume for a total load of up to 150 kg. Ideal for long distances, but also for training and fast leisure trips. Very easy to steer for a length of 550 cm.

S18 Exp MOD (teilbar)

If you don't have space for a 550 cm long kayak or are looking for a simple transport option, order the divisible version of the touring kayak: easy to store, easy to transport.

Lightweight tandem kayaks from 25 kg for beginners to advanced riders

Sorted from left to right, the length increases and the width decreases. The longer and narrower, the faster but also more unstable:

ST17 Tandem

Very stable water position thanks to the width of 71 cm. Very compact for a two-seater with a length of only 530 cm, making it easy to transport even on shorter vehicles. Very comfortable seat hatches that offer plenty of space.

ST19 Tandem

Beginners and more advanced paddlers will feel right at home in this two-person kayak. With a length of 585 cm and the integrated, incredibly good straight-line stability, it is also suitable for longer distances.

ST19 Tandem MOD

This tandem kayak is simply ingenious: the features are exactly the same as the ST19, the divisibility makes it easy to transport and store. By omitting a seat module, it transforms into a solo kayak.

ST21 Tandem Race

Here you can feel the racing genes in every paddle stroke! A skilled duo develops speed on the long haul and in training. The ST21 Tandem is equipped with QR Touring Footbrace for active footwork.

Marathon racer: Kayaks for advanced and competition kayaks

These models are aimed at advanced and experienced athletes who want to train or take part in marathons:

S18R G2 Racer

This kayak shares the bottom with the S18S Surfski: maximum efficiency, long waterline, tracking stability and a very fast design! It also offers advanced riders a comparatively high level of stability.

S18S X

Only 11.7 kg in the Excel layup! Without the rear luggage hatch as on the S18S, the "X" becomes a pure racer, trimmed for sporty training. With a length of 548 cm, it corresponds to the S18R in the "open" version.

Rapid S

Caution - for experienced paddlers only! The Rapid S was developed at the suggestion of New Zealanders who wanted a fast descent kayak for whitewater rivers. Unlike all Stellar tourers, the Rapid S is not bulkheaded.

ST21 Tandem Race

Here you can feel the racing genes in every paddle stroke! A skilled duo develops speed on the long haul and in training. The ST21 Tandem is equipped with QR Touring Footbrace for active footwork.

Kayaks and sit-on-tops for the sea

All Stellar touring kayaks are bulkheaded and therefore fulfil the requirements for paddling on the coast. The following models make this even easier due to their design:

SI18 Sea kayak

In large waves, it provides stability and safety when paddling, and with a length of 550 cm it is a kayak with a fast cruising speed. Easy to steer even in larger waves.

SILV sea kayak

The low-volume version is a safe and agile sea kayak for light to medium-weight paddlers weighing 55 - 80 kg.

S16S Sit on Top

As a sit-on-top, the "Kingfisher" makes it easier to push your personal limits: If you capsize, it's much easier to get back "in place" than in a classic kayak.

Egret Sit on Top / MOD

An efficient touring sit-on-top with a stable but very easy-gliding lower hull. The hull is the same as the S18 Exp G2 touring kayak. Also available as a divisible version.
