My DH and I have a Wilderness systems Tarpon130T the T stands for tandem I suggest this kind because then you are truely together not out on seperate kayaks. Besides you can take turns paddeling, we love ours I live in Miami and use ours in the ocean yes even when it is very rough! We have NEVER tipped it...even when a Manatee came right up underneath us! Trust me the best thing we EVER bought...yes even including my sewing machine!
