Saw these in a listing picture. Pinged the broker who didn't respond. My wife doesn't like tippy kayaks and these double hulled models seem like they might winners.

While probably very stable, wide kayaks paddle like a bath tub, slow and a great deal of effort. If you play around an anchorage (few hundred yards from the boat) they're probably fine. If you're going a few miles, not so much. Long and skinny definitely paddle faster.

Those Kayaks are made by Delta in British Columbia. One of their dealers is on Lake Union. Our friends have them and really enjoy them.
 
There are sit on type kayaks sold as fishing kayaks which are wider, more stable, but still single hull. My partner chose one, it`s not noticeably slower or any less maneuverable.
BTW Maritimo CEO Tom Barry Cotter "resigned" "because "the shareholders wanted to proceed in a different direction". His father, company founder Bill Barry Cotter is back as CEO.

Thank you!
 
We demoed these at Northwest Outdoor Center yesterday day and bought a pair of the ten footers. They are super stable but still move and track nicely through the water. Lightweight and easy to move and store. Compact for easy stowage. Thanks again for identifying these for us!
