Eddyline Caribbean 100 Sit On Top Recreational Kayak
The Eddyline Caribbean 100 is a sleek, lightweight sit-on-top kayak that packs serious performance and thoughtful outfitting into a compact, easy-to-handle 10-foot package. Built with Eddyline's proprietary Carbonlite thermoformed construction, it weighs just 40 pounds — light enough for solo car-topping and compact enough to fit inside many mid-sized SUVs — making it one of the most portable and accessible sit-on-tops on the market. The highly efficient hull delivers exceptional primary stability alongside confident tracking and nimble maneuverability, giving paddlers of all experience levels a platform that feels both secure and responsive from the first stroke.
The Caribbean 100 is loaded with practical, well-considered features. The removable seat clips into place in seconds and features thick antimicrobial marine-grade foam with UV-resistant mesh fabric — built for all-day comfort and long-term durability in sun and water. The cockpit includes adjustable foot braces, a 6-inch accessory gear track for mounting rod holders or accessories, and a self-draining seat pan. A raised seat position provides improved visibility and a drier ride, while four scuppers efficiently drain the cockpit and tankwell. A stern drain plug makes interior drainage effortless after time on the water.
Storage and accessibility are well covered with an 8-inch bow hatch and a 5.25-inch quarter-turn tankwell hatch providing access to most of the interior space. Bow and stern webbing carry handles make two-person transport comfortable, while perfectly balanced side carry handles — which also double as paddle holders — make solo handling easy. Whether you're exploring calm lakes, paddling inshore bays, or looking for a lightweight go-anywhere kayak that's as easy to own as it is to paddle, the Caribbean 100 delivers Eddyline quality in one of the most approachable and versatile sit-on-top packages available.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Eddyline Caribbean 100
Who is the Eddyline Caribbean 100 best suited for?
The Caribbean 100 fits small to medium-framed paddlers who want a light sit-on-top for warm-weather, calm-water paddling. At 10 feet and 40 pounds it stows inside many mid-size SUVs, though whether one person can lift and load it depends on strength, lifting technique, vehicle height and rack design. Its published 200-pound maximum is the lowest of the three Caribbean models here and includes the hull's own weight, so work through your combined load before choosing it. Sit-on-tops suit swimmers, beginners and anyone who prefers an open deck.
How does the Caribbean 100 compare with the Caribbean 120?
The Caribbean 100 is 10 feet, 29 inches wide, 40 pounds and rated to 200 pounds, with a removable cloth seat, a 6-inch accessory track and S/M sizing. The Eddyline Caribbean 120 is 12 feet, 30 inches wide, 49 pounds and rated to 275 pounds, sized S/M/L, with a removable frame seat, two flush-mount rod holders and gunwale accessory tracks. The 100 is the easier boat to move and store; the 120 carries more and is better set up for fishing.
What does its 200-pound capacity include?
The published 200-pound maximum includes the Caribbean 100 itself, the paddler, and everything carried aboard. The hull's published 40-pound weight counts toward that total, so the full 200 pounds is not available for you and your gear — worth working through carefully, because this is the lowest published maximum of the three Caribbean models here. Add clothing, a life jacket, paddle, water, food, safety gear, a dry bag and anything in the tankwell. Paddlers whose total approaches the maximum should compare the Caribbean 120 or 140FS, and loading below it generally preserves freeboard and performance.
How does the removable cloth seat work?
The Caribbean 100's seat clips into place in seconds and lifts out just as quickly for cleaning, transport or storage. It is built from marine-grade foam with UV-resistant mesh fabric, so it drains and dries rather than holding water, and it sits raised for better visibility and a drier ride. A self-draining seat pan underneath moves water out through the scuppers. Rinse it with fresh water along with the hull after each outing.
What are the scuppers for?
Scuppers are through-hull drain holes that let water coming aboard run straight back out instead of pooling on deck. The Caribbean 100 has four, draining the seat area and the tankwell, plus a stern drain plug for clearing the hull interior after paddling. A little water rising through them in normal use is expected on any sit-on-top. Scupper plugs can reduce that in cool conditions, but never use a cart that inserts through the scupper holes.
What storage and accessory-mounting features are included?
The Caribbean 100 has two hatches — an 8-inch round hatch and a 5.25-inch quarter-turn tankwell hatch — giving access to most of the interior, plus deck bungees for gear you want at hand. A 6-inch accessory gear track takes rod holders, camera mounts and similar hardware. Bow and stern webbing handles suit two-person carries, and the balanced side handles double as a paddle park. The compartments are water-resistant rather than guaranteed dry, so anything that must stay dry belongs in a dry bag inside them.
What types of water is the Caribbean 100 intended for?
The Caribbean 100 is intended for inshore waters, lakes and ponds, Class I–II rivers and flowing water, and fishing. Its 29-inch beam gives it the settled feel that makes an open deck comfortable. Sit-on-tops leave you exposed to wind, spray and water temperature, so this is a warm-conditions boat unless you dress for immersion. Class I–II describes the design's intended range rather than a promise about any particular stretch of river.
What type of kayak cart and vehicle transport setup should be used?
Use a padded strap-style cart that cradles the Caribbean 100's hull. Do not use a cart that inserts its posts through the scupper holes — scupper-cart damage is excluded from Eddyline's warranty. On the vehicle, sit-on-tops travel well deck-down on padded crossbars, with straps snug rather than over-tightened and bow and stern lines added. Secure loose strap ends so they cannot flap at speed. Care and transport details are in Eddyline's owner information.
What warranty coverage comes with the Caribbean 100?
The Caribbean 100 carries a three-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, with deck rigging covered for two years. Coverage is limited to the original owner and requires warranty registration. Normal wear, improper use or storage, UV color fading, freight damage and scupper-cart damage are excluded, and the customer pays return transportation, freight and packaging charges on a claim. A product sold as blemished keeps standard coverage apart from the disclosed blemish itself. Full terms are on Eddyline's warranty page.
