At a large outdoor retailer such as REI a recreational kayak can go for between $500 and $1200 USD. Meanwhile, at a paddling specialty store, recreational kayaks and a higher-performing next level called day-touring kayaks are as low in cost as around $500 and range up to almost $2000. Recreational kayaks sold at places like REI are often in the $500 to $1,200 range. These models are also meant for use on calm sheltered water, however, they also tend to be the basic models offered by brands who produce higher-performance kayaks.
