Prijon Seatron GT: A High-Performance Sea Kayak for Challenging Conditions
Seatron GT: The successor to the legendary Seayak series
The Prijon Seatron 520 Grand Touring (GT) is the direct successor to the successful Seayak series. During its development, emphasis was placed on modern features, such as a more spacious cockpit where you can sit back comfortably and perform Eskimo rolls with ease. The lowered rear deck and more pronounced rocker, combined with a narrower hull, have a positive effect on speed and maneuverability, especially in more challenging sea conditions. It’s a kayak that rewards active paddling and offers a sense of confidence even on the open sea.
Design and Hydrodynamics: HTP Material and Dynamic Hull Shape
The hull shape and materials used ensure a long service life and predictable handling on the water:
- HTP (High-Performance Thermoplastic) material: Prijon's flagship material. It offers exceptional strength, impact resistance, and UV resistance, all while maintaining a reasonable weight of 29 kg. In addition, this material is environmentally friendly.
- Dynamic fuselage shape: The narrower hull (57 cm) ensures excellent glide and speed, while the more pronounced rocker makes it easier to maneuver and ride waves.
- Preparing for the helm: The boat is designed to allow for the retrofitting of a rudder (sold separately), which will further improve directional control in crosswinds.
Outfitting: Comfort and Waterproof Storage Compartments
Comfort and safety are top priorities, even during multi-day deployments:
- Waterproof compartments: The spacious front (60 L) and rear (110 L) compartments, which close with a double lid (neoprene + plastic), ensure that your gear stays dry even if the boat capsizes.
- Comfortable seating: A fully adjustable seating system with padding, ergonomic thigh supports, and sliding footrests for optimal power transfer and all-day comfort.
- Practical details: A day hatch just in front of the cockpit for quick access to small items, a deck net for securing gear, a perimeter rope for rescue, and transport handles.
Suitable Activities and Uses on the Water
The Seatron GT is a great companion for:
- Sea Hikes and Surfing: Thanks to its excellent stability and maneuverability, it can handle even the most challenging sea conditions and tidal waves.
- A multi-day expedition: Ample storage space and a load capacity of 140 kg can accommodate all your gear for longer trips with a passenger or with more luggage.
- Paddling on Large Rivers and Lakes: You'll appreciate how quickly you can glide along when covering long distances with minimal effort.
About the Prijon Brand: German Precision and Tradition
The German company Prijon is synonymous with precision craftsmanship and innovation in the field of water sports equipment. Each kayak is manufactured right in Germany with an emphasis on detail, high-quality materials, and durability. When you choose Prijon, you’re choosing proven European quality that will last for decades.
Caring for an HTP Shell
The HTP hull is extremely durable, but to maximize its service life, we recommend storing the kayak away from constant direct UV exposure (ideally under a roof or a breathable tarp). After a trip, especially at sea, rinse the kayak thoroughly with fresh water. Regularly check the condition of the seals on the double lids of the watertight bulkheads and the tightness of the screws on the seat.

Expert advice: Thanks to its narrower hull and more pronounced rocker, the Seatron GT is a very lively and fast kayak. If you’re switching from a wider recreational kayak, give yourself a moment to adjust—once you get it moving, you’ll appreciate its dynamic stability and excellent glide. Take advantage of the roomier cockpit to practice the Eskimo roll, which is easier than on older models thanks to the lowered rear deck. Don’t forget to properly adjust the sliding footrests and thigh supports before paddling to ensure a firm connection with the kayak. The day hatch in front of the cockpit is ideal for a snack or a map, while you can store dry clothes and a sleeping bag in the main compartments. Before a longer trip, always check the seals on the double hatches and make sure the straps are properly tightened.
