Deuce Coupe

Clearly very well and substantially built. A bit on the heavy side so use a kayak dolly. The built-in wheel is useful only on hard surfaces. The Deuce Coupe inspires confidence.

We purchased our Orange Deuce Coupe 2 years ago. We have a coupe single sit in kayaks as well. we love the stability and comfort of the little deuce coupe. we probably wouldn't had purchased the singles if we had purchased the coupe first. we had some friends like our so much they purchased a Blue deuce last year. Very enjoyable. a little heavy but the tote wheel helps with that. a Great product well engineered for comfort and stability.

We picked up our Deuce Coupe right at the factory and the Liquid Logic team went out of the way to make sure it was ready for us when we arrived. Awesome support and the attention to detail on the kayak is incredible. Great experience picking it up with the entire family there to get excited. Thanks again.

I have 2 other boats (Perception America, Wilderness System Pungo) and was interested in a SOT. I did weeks of research on every website that covered SOT kayaks. After coming to the conclusion to go with the Liquidlogic Deuce Coupe I couldn't be happier.

It's a great family boat with my wife, granddaughter and a picnic lunch packed aboard looking for that sandbar on the Edisto River to pull over and have lunch. I've also used it solo and found that it handles great in all kinds of condition's. I go fishing with the guys at work a lot. Most of them have dedicated fishing SOT's, with the seat in the solo position I've got plenty of room for all my tackle, rods and a cooler and can stand and cast with no problem (fishing model Liquidlogic). The seats on this boat are so comfortable my friends are jealous and a couple are trying to figure out how to modify their boats to accept the seats.

Overall I'm extremely pleased with this boat and would recommend it to anyone looking for a tandem SOT get one and get out and enjoy the water.

Liquid Logic's customer service is wonderful. I chose to ship the Deuce Coupe to a 'Terminal' via Old Dominion Freight and they were extremely easy to work with as well. The kayak arrived in great condition and was packaged very well. This is my 3rd kayak, and 3rd brand, and the Deuce Coupe is by far the best quality and the most superior designed kayak that I've ever owned. Love the blue color. The seats are very comfortable and I love that they are attached to the boat and they adjust quickly and easily. The tagalong wheel works great moving the kayak from the garage, to the back of the truck, down the boat ramp and back home again. My wife feels very comfortable with the stability of the boat, which is an absolute must. It tracks well with the skeg down and turns with extreme ease with the skeg up. A milk crate fits in the rear storage area no problem and I plan to add a few rod holders as well. We've had the kayak out on a couple of freshwater lakes already and in some heavier chop/white cap conditions with water coming over the bow. The storage areas with the rubber caps and the inside of the boat stayed bone dry. I've paddled solo from the rear and it wasn't too bad and I do look forward to moving the seat to the center position. The kayak is a bit heavier than other tandems, but I'd rather have a little heavier boat than a less quality boat. The tagalong wheel is not made for off-road applications, but the trusty kayak cart is used for that purpose. I've been looking for a kayak that I could padd

For her maiden voyage, my wife and I took our new Deuce Coupe out on large Colorado mountain lake, a lake that doesn't allow powered boats, only SUPs, kayaks, and canoes, and it was simply pure pleasure that day, convincing us that we'd made the right choice of kayak. We discovered for ourselves that all the other reviews that we'd read about the Deuce before we plunked our money down were not only true, but we feel there is no other conclusion possible but that this is one well conceived, well designed, highly versatile, very maneuverable, quality boat. I know, I know, it sounds like I work in the Liquid Logic marketing department, but really, I don't, I'm just a guy that loves high quality, efficient, well made products.

On our next excursion we paddled about eight miles on Horsetooth reservoir near Ft. Collins, CO. My wife doesn't swim, so the ultra stability of the Deuce Coupe was a real comfort to her, inspiring confidence and enhancing our overall enjoyment of the day. This was especially important as this was our first experience on large lake where power/ski boats were creating good size wakes/waves that might have scared the eebie -geebies out of her had we chosen a lower quality kayak with lesser stability. The boat just casually took on every wave with a "ho-hum, is that all you've got?" nonchalance. It was also great so observe wildlife near the water’s edge from the boat, like the doe and her two spotted fauns, and later the young buck in velvet.

Next we took our Deuce up to a high mountain lake at 10,000 ft to lazily paddle around looking for resident moose (plural) that frequent the area. Only saw one, but still Great Fun!

One more pleasant surprise. I finally got a chance to move the stern seat to the middle position and do a little solo paddling. I love it! In solo mode “it moves”, and handles very nicely. I also wanted to play around with other options for paddling the Deuce, so I tried standing up and using it as a SUP. Very stable. I only got off my hind legs after the wind started whipping up some white cap waves. Then I tried kneeling and paddling from just behind the solo seat. That was fun too, and gave me a lot of power to my paddle strokes. Again, I’m so glad we chose the Deuce Coupe for our tandem kayak. It’s also really great knowing that we'll be able to move into doing some light whitewater kayaking, which we’re now gearing up for. Just another reason we chose this boat. I’m looking forward to more Liquid logic boats in my future. So far I have my sights set on a Coupe and a Remix XP9.

We should have done this long ago, but then, we might not have had the option of choosing the Deuce Coupe if we'd decided to start kayaking before this great boat had been introduced. It’s really nice to know that we didn’t have to buy one, two or more inadequate boats before finding this gem.

I have to say that the company and everyone I dealt with at liquid Logic during the process of choosing, ordering and receiving our kayak have been extremely friendly, sincere, helpful and accommodating every step of the way. This is especially true when the boat had to be replaced after the shipper damaged the first Deuce Coupe and another had to be shipped out (which I was assured by both the shipper and Liquid Logic is a rare occurrence). If you choose this tandem, this company, or any of their boats you can’t go wrong, the quality of their products, and their commitment to customer service and satisfaction is all there.

The Duece Coupe was a pleasure to command. On the lake we had a 10-15 mph breeze but with the skeg down we kept straight. The rear wheel for one person moving is another feature well worth the investment. We love it!

I bought this boat for a fun adventure for myself, wife, kid and dogs. It has lived up to its reviews. Spent hours on the water already and planning more trips that include kayaking. Highly recommend! The skeg option is incredible when on flat water trying to paddle straight. Boat is very stable and hard to tip over you about have to try and tip it over to make it possible.

Finally got a chance to take our Blue Deuce Coupe out on the Water. It was wonderful, Fun and can not wait to do it again ..... On Lake Powell!!!!! The wheel to transporting down to the water area worked perfect and the handles are very comfortable when pulling the Kayak. The Seats are very comfortable too! Thanks so much. My only suggestion is the front end of the boat was scuffed up from being transported. More protection on the tips of the boat for transporting? I was really hoping we would put the first scuff on our Mighty Blue Coupe.

it's a behemoth. We had an Ocean Kayak before this one, and we didn't realize how much heavier this boat would be than that one. At 78 pounds, it's difficult for us to load and unload onto our vehicle. We really enjoy this boat once it's on the water, but transporting it is a challenge. If you're parking it at your beach house, hauling it with a trailer, or you're really buff, go ahead and buy this boat. If you're two old farts like us and you drive a high profile vehicle, take that into consideration when you're planning a purchase.

love my duece coupe! Great for many different kinds of water with myself + family

I have had a coupe for two years before purchasing the duece. I love it and the chance to spend time with my kids (13 and 10) in different types of water.

Purchased the Liquid Logic Deuce Coupe because of several features: the ease of moving the kayak to the water when a boat launch is not an option, plenty of room for two kayakers, ability to paddle solo or duo, a skeg that can be lowered or raised depending on desire to go straight or navigate tight waterways, and because it is a very stable kayak and hard to flip. Found out the kayak was not easy to move through various terrains (had to purchase a kayak dolly), limited storage options to hold gear for a day trip, and very hard to reach storage areas as a solo kayaker.

The kayak is very stable and I love the skeg design giving you the option for more maneuverability when needed. Biggest con to the boat is that it is easily cut – I have taken it out on the water three times and it does not just get dinged and scuffed – these are actually cuts in the boat anytime it hits anything – durability is low.
Liquid Logic was more expensive than other kayaks – I probably would not spend the extra money for Liquid Logic next time.

My wife and I have enjoyed the Deuce Coupe for about 10 weeks. I find it difficult to lift it to the car rack (Honda CRV) because of weight. An extra set of handles would help since it is so long. The seats are excellent! Could use a little bit larger storage bins but not a must. The skeg rules!! Keeps this large boat straight where you point it even in some Intercoastal winds. The "mango" color is really orange and quite noticeable. Would buy it again without a doubt. Best tandem for the money.

I bought a Deuce Coupe about 2 weeks ago before heading to the coast for a week with my family. I'm an experienced canoeist (mainly C1 and C2, wildwater team several years in C2) and this is the first kayak to join a fleet of various types of canoes, though I've paddled a number of kayaks over the years. I have kids 4 and 7.

What a fun boat! We took it out every day we stayed on the North Carolina coast at Emerald Isle. The first day out we had decent swell and my brother in-law and I did some nice surfing runs - the boat is very controllable coming down a wave face, and will side surf smoothly if you screw up. Something interesting was water shooting up at least a foot out of the drain holes on fast rides. We had one near ender on the outer bar where the nose stuffed but rose back out, and one on the inner bar where we tumbled out almost vertically when it met the bottom.

My novice paddler wife has also enjoyed surfing the boat in smaller swells, and my kids have enjoyed swimming off and on of it - it is very stable and they had no problems standing up, jumping into the water, and then climbing back on. It is really a cool boat.

The only similar boat I'd paddled before was an Ocean Kayak Malibu Two - overall I like this one much better mainly due to its better maneuverability. I've not used the rudder any and really enjoy the ability to bring the back end around on a wave. It is also very forgiving sideways in a breaking wave - notably more so than the Malibu which I think was hampered by the big rear keel. In some soupy white breakers you can bring it around from a side surf to straighten out again.

Regarding the comment about not tracking without the skeg down, I'd just add that it depends on what you expect.
I'd originally planned to buy a Malibu Two XL, but ended up with this one after closer review.

Speed is relative - all sit-on-top tandems are slow (except maybe the Oceak Kayak Zest), and that slowness is due to their shortness and width. This boat did not feel notably more or less slow than the Ocean Kayak, though I'm used to fast boats.

The only negative I had was that the bow does not rise over waves as much as I'd like - it simply does not have enough buoyancy to avoid pinching off a chunk of any breaking wave as you paddle out. As such, even solo, it is not hard to fill the boat up when paddling out. It does drain pretty quickly. The boat is also pretty water tight - each day the boat was in a lot of breaking waves and at the end of the day we never had more than quart, and most days less than a pint. I think most of the leakage was due to the 3 hatches that are standard on the boat.

The stock seats are very comfortable, and the taco paddle holders work well. The bow one hits my right foot when I solo and I'll move it forward a little I think. The seat molding has more depth to it than the Malibu Two, so even solo with no outfitting I had no problem staying in the boat, even side surfing.

The rear wheel works well on hard surfaces and ok on packed sand. I bought a Wheeleez beach cart also, which we used extensively as we had probably 125 yards from parking to the beach.
Build quality seems good, and the boat is made in the US.

Overall, the boat fully meets my expectations and I'm very pleased with it.

Fairly new to kayak ownership, but have rented several. After trying out a couple of demos, my wife and I decided to buy both the Deuce Coupe and the Versa Board. I also own a Wilderness Systems Ride 135. The Deuce is hands down the best of the three for nearly everything. It is very comfortable, holds 500lbs, and is a tandem or solo. We have moved the rear seat forward to the middle position and use it as a solo most of the time. It tracks very well with the skeg down, and with it up the maneuverability compared to the WS Ride is eye-opening. We are using it at the lake, but can't wait to get on a river. Lots of room for storage, but the only real con for me is no large hatch to store gear. I am on my way down to buy a second Deuce this week, since my wife has claimed the first one.
