Sitka 150 (Sitka XT)
The Eddyline Sitka 150 is the boat for a big paddler who wants to go a long way without buying a full sea kayak. Fifteen foot three, 24.5 inches wide, 49 pounds, and rated to 400 pounds — the highest capacity in Eddyline's touring range.
Same Boat as the Sitka XT
Worth saying plainly, because it confuses people: the Sitka XT and the Sitka 150 are the same kayak. Eddyline renumbered the Sitka line — LT, ST and XT became 140, 145 and 150 — and kept the old address pointing at the new page. If you paddled an XT and liked it, this is it.
What It Is For
Eddyline calls it a touring kayak with the playful, nimble spirit of a rec boat, and that is a fair description. It tracks and carries like a tourer but it is forgiving enough for a day on the bay. Three hatches, including a small day hatch you can reach while afloat.
Carbonlite Construction
Eddyline builds in Carbonlite: an ABS sheet for the structure with a hard acrylic outer layer for abrasion and UV resistance, heated and vacuum-formed over a mould. Eddyline reckons it comes out 10 to 30 percent lighter than a comparable rotomolded boat, and it is stiffer, so the hull holds its shape instead of flexing — which is most of the reason a thermoformed boat feels quicker for the same effort. It also takes an adhesive repair like a composite, where polyethylene generally needs plastic welding.

Paddling the Eddyline Sitka 150 (Sitka XT) in Clearwater
Stop by our Clearwater shop at 160 N. Belcher Rd to sit in the Eddyline Sitka 150 (Sitka XT), lift it and compare it with the other kayaks we carry — call first and we'll confirm it's on the floor. Osprey Bay Outdoors has been fitting paddlers to boats in Clearwater since 1998 — the right kayak depends on where you paddle, how you get it home and who is paddling it, and we'd rather talk that through than sell you the wrong one.
On paper it is 15' 3" long and 49 lbs, with a Hard chine hull and a 400 lbs weight capacity. Weight matters more than most people expect — it decides whether you can load it on your own after a morning on the water. Around Clearwater and Tampa Bay that usually means calm bays, mangrove creeks and the Gulf shoreline. Ask us which launches suit it best.
Not sure? Try it first. Our Demo Days are free, and a private paddling demo lets you take it out with one of our staff. We also fit roof racks, rig and repair kayaks, and can help you work out how to carry it.

Questions we get about this kayak
Can I try the Eddyline Sitka 150 (Sitka XT) before I buy it?
Yes. We hold free Demo Days where you can paddle the boats we carry, and you can book a private demo if you would rather go at your own pace. See the dates on our Demo Day page, or call 727-524-9670.
How heavy is the Eddyline Sitka 150 (Sitka XT), and how much can it hold?
It weighs 49 lbs. The listed weight capacity is 400 lbs. Add your gear — and a dog, if you paddle with one — to the paddler's weight when you check the capacity.
Will the Eddyline Sitka 150 (Sitka XT) fit on my car?
Most kayaks this size travel on a roof rack with cradles or saddles. Our Rack Fit Guide looks up the right rack for your vehicle, and we install racks at the shop — bring the car and we'll sort it out.
Is the Eddyline Sitka 150 (Sitka XT) in stock?
Stock changes as boats sell, and colors vary. Use the Reserve button on this page or call 727-524-9670 and we'll confirm what's on the floor and set it aside for you. Reserving is not a purchase — you pay when you pick it up.
Do you ship kayaks?
Boats ship only by arrangement. Most customers pick up at our Clearwater shop, and we'll help you load it.
Can you rig, repair or service it after I buy?
Yes. We do hull repairs, rigging and custom lighting, and we service the brands we sell, so the shop that fits your kayak is the same one that looks after it.
Where is Osprey Bay Outdoors and when are you open?
