Product Description:
The Cres-Craft is Crescent’s high-performance motor kayak, built on a planing hull for speed and efficiency—achieving up to 19 mph with a 6 HP motor (Micro Skiff) or 3 HP motor (Power Kayak) and excelling with electric power.
Offered as a Micro Skiff or Power Kayak the Cres-Craft blends Crescent’s paddling DNA with modern angling needs—stability at speed, confidence when casting, and precision in skinny water. Whether you’re chasing trophy bass or tailing reds, the Cres-Craft is your venture empowered.
The Cres-Craft is built around power and performance. Its planing hull glides over the water with less drag, giving you speed, control, and motoring capability beyond what any displacement kayak can deliver. The sharp V-shaped bow cuts cleanly through chop, while the spray rail keeps your ride smooth and dry. Trim the engine, and the Cres-Craft transforms into a confident poling platform—its dual molded-in skegs providing balance and stability. And true to Crescent DNA, this small craft still paddles beautifully, ensuring that performance doesn’t stop when the motor does.
