Old Town is pushing paddling (and pedaling) innovation to new horizons with its 2025 fleet. Known for marrying tradition with cutting-edge technology, Old Towns latest lineup offers five new kayaks designed to elevate both fishing adventures and leisurely days on the water.

　　The Sportsman Series gets a significant upgrade with two robust 12-foot models, the PDL 120 PRO and ePDL+ 120 PRO, each engineered to deliver unmatched versatility, comfort, and propulsion flexibility to serious anglers.

　　On the recreational side, Old Towns Ocean Kayak line introduces three exciting sit-on-top options designed to amplify fun and functionality. Highlights include the Malibu ePDL+ 120, with its advanced power-assist pedal drive, and the Malibu Pedal T, a tandem kayak ready-made for shared adventures. Rounding out the lineup, the Sonata 106 MK packs integrated Minn Kota motor technology, wireless Bluetooth speakers, and LED cockpit lighting into a compact, hands-free package.

　　Lets take a dive into the new models.
