Tent for my kayak

[mamamea]

Can someone recommend a tent for our kayak?

We have a 3-man sit-on-top kayak, it's 13'4" long, needs to fit the four of us (2 adults, a 6-year-old child, and a 1 1/2 year old).

Just to clarify the tent needs to fit INSIDE the kayak, which has a hatch for stowing stuff, but the aperture really isn't that big at all it's an oval 10" wide and 18" long.

Im reading through the camping threads and found your question - cool that you want to kayak and camp!

Bump!

I've got a sit-on-top and find it is easier to lash things onto the deck in a dry bag rather than put them in the hatch.

really? Actually we've not got the main hatch. It costs £50 and then you've got to hack a hole in the kayak to fit it. Maybe we won't bother.

If you've not already got the hatch I wouldn't bother as it just increases the potential for leaks. You could also get a storage drum and tie that on.

Hmm. Might be a bit cramped
