Old Town Heron 9XT Kayak - 2025

Heron 9XT Kayak delivers beginner-friendly stability with comfort-driven features for casual paddling

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve recommended the Heron 9XT more times than I can count—it´s lightweight, super easy to maneuver, and has the extras you usually only see on pricier kayaks. The padded seat and rod holders make it perfect for lazy lake days or casual casting sessions."

Old Town’s Heron 9XT Kayak offers an ideal blend of comfort, stability, and user-friendly design, making it a favorite for new and recreational paddlers. It’s lightweight enough to carry solo, responsive enough to track straight on flat water, and packed with thoughtful features that elevate every outing—whether you’re cruising a calm lake or sneaking in some fishing.

With a padded Comfort Flex seat, adjustable foot braces, and thigh pads, it’s easy to stay comfortable through longer sessions on the water. Two flush-mount rod holders, a Quick Seal rear hatch with a bulkhead, and small touches like a cup holder and paddle keep make the Heron 9XT feel like a premium ride—without the premium price tag.
