IK-152 Tandem Taylor Inflatable Kayak
Two paddlers. One capable inflatable kayak. The RMR IK-152 Tandem Taylor takes the responsive design of the single Taylor and stretches it into a roomy two-person platform with extra space for gear. A drop-stitch floor insert, progressive rocker, diminishing side tubes, and adjustable seating give it the structure and versatility for paddling together without turning the boat into a barge.
Built for Two
At 13'2", the IK-152 gives two paddlers room to settle in without sacrificing the responsive feel that defines the Taylor series. The open deck leaves usable space for additional gear, while multiple D-rings provide plenty of attachment points for securing equipment.
Adjustable backrests allow the seating position to be customized for different paddlers and loads, making the Tandem Taylor useful for everything from two-person days on the water to trips where extra carrying room matters.
Stiff Floor. Responsive Shape.
A drop-stitch floor insert creates a firm platform underfoot while the diminishing side tubes form a progressive rocker profile. That shape helps the kayak rise through waves while maintaining stable, responsive maneuvering.
The hull uses triple-welded PVC seams and a self-bailing design, combining inflatable-kayak portability with the structure needed for active river use.

The IK-126 is the single-person Taylor. The IK-152 carries over the same general Taylor design concept and features while extending the platform to accommodate two people and additional gear.

Yes. The IK-152 uses a drop-stitch floor insert that creates a stiff, supportive surface inside the kayak.
