If you want a kayak that provides the best of both worlds – the performance of a hard-shell and the portability of an inflatable kayak – then yes, modular kayaks are worth the money. However, keep in mind that they can be pricier than traditional recreational kayaks. Before making a purchase, take some time to decide what you want in a kayak, how and where you intend to use it – and whether buying a modular kayak makes sense for you.
