Excelling in rough seas, surf and wind, the elegant Delta 16 offers a balanced combination of maneuverability with excellent tracking to stay the course in challenging conditions. It easily keeps a quick responsive pace and has enough storage capacity for multi-day exploration. It features a low profile front day hatch, new Press-Lock Hatch System, proprietary bow and stern Paddle-Park, and Deltas multi-position Contour II Seat System. Rounding off its features is an option of a skeg or rudder for enhanced tracking or directional aid in rougher conditions (The hull image is shown with the optional rudder).

All Delta touring kayaks include an adjustable seat pan. This allows paddlers to shift the seat forward for a tighter fit in the cockpit or to slide the seat back for more legroom.
