Argo – That’s what they called the incredible fast ship of the Argonauts in Greek mythology. The most famous 50 heroes lead by Jason went on their big journey to bring back the “Golden Fleece”. On that occasion they had to endure a lot of adventures in which the ship always played a big role. Thanks to its robustness and speed a lot of obstacles could be overcome and the mission finally was brought to a successful ending. Following that the nortik argo was designed as a big tourer – which also could be used for small adventures, of course. All in all it is a fast, extremely stable, stiff and robust one-seater with a lot of space for luggage. The design and the innovative layout strongly remind on the nortik navigator and you could say that it is the big brother of it. The argo is 5.20 m long and 62 cm wide, which leads to a greater volume and more space for gear. The robust boat skin is made of our proven PVC/PU-mixture the kayak has installed keel strips as a standard. In order to keep the price and weight “bearable” we decided to use aluminium for the frame. needs a bit more care if used in salt water, but also is significantly lighter. As with all the boats from nortik the argo is packed in only one backpack and its weight is incredible 19 kg. The argo is 100% water tight, there are no open seams. The comfortable hanging seat can be adjusted at the sides and bottom. The nortik argo was tested by several special interest magazines, is expedition proven and is one of the most sold expedition folding kayak one-seater in the world.
