Less weight. Less bulk. More freedom.

The Verano Capri represents a new generation of inflatable kayaks, combining innovative TPU construction, high-pressure Drop-Stitch technology and exceptional portability in one versatile craft.

Unlike conventional inflatable kayaks made from heavier PVC materials, the Capri is constructed entirely from TPU, including its side chambers and Drop-Stitch floor. The result is an impressively lightweight kayak weighing only 8.6 kg, while still offering a maximum payload of 130 kg.

At 300 cm long and 85 cm wide, the Capri provides a stable and comfortable paddling platform. Its high-pressure Drop-Stitch floor inflates to 10 PSI, creating excellent rigidity, while the TPU side chambers provide stability and buoyancy.

One of its greatest innovations is its remarkable packability. The complete kayak hull packs down to just 90 × 26 × 17 cm – approximately the size of a packed inflatable SUP – making it ideal for travelling, camping and spontaneous adventures where transport space and weight matter.

But the Capri goes beyond being simply an ultralight kayak: it can also be used as a Stand-Up Paddle Board, giving paddlers two different ways to enjoy the water with a single compact inflatable.

A removable central fin improves tracking, while the comfort seat, footrest, bow and stern bungee storage and drainage system make the Capri a fully equipped and highly practical touring companion.

Why should the Verano Capri win the Innovation Award?

The Capri demonstrates how modern materials can fundamentally rethink the inflatable kayak. By combining TPU technology, a 10 PSI Drop-Stitch floor, an 8.6 kg hull weight, compact packability and kayak/SUP versatility, Verano has created a craft that removes many of the traditional compromises associated with inflatable kayaks.

It is not simply an inflatable kayak made lighter – it is a highly portable, multi-purpose watersports platform designed for a new generation of paddlers and travellers. The Verano Capri turns a full-size 300 cm kayak into an 8.6 kg adventure companion that can go almost anywhere.
