Delta 17 w/Skeg

The Delta 17 is an excellent choice for paddlers looking to cruise on lakes, paddle extended trips or have fun in ocean swells. The Delta 17 is a veritable champion in the surf and delivers its abilities with speed and grace. Its v-shaped hull, pronounced chine and moderate rocker offer paddlers a smooth transition to edge and impressive tracking. It features Delta’s Press-Lock hatch system, the updated Elevate Contour Seat System, front deck Day-Pod, dual-density soft grip handles and innovative bungee risers.

Delta’s skeg system is simple to deploy and features a kink-free operation. The skeg line is housed in a tube and tucked away under-deck so it reduces the chance of snagging when loading and unloading gear. As a note, a skeg can be deployed at different increments so the paddler can determine the amount of aid in tracking needed. Unlike a rudder, a skeg does not move side to side so it will not aid in steering the boat.

***Fully Updated for 2026 – Elevate Contour Seat System***

Delta’s popular Elevate Seat System has been refined for the spring 2026 season.

The new Elevate Contour Seat System adds 25% more cushioning and a sleeker, streamlined profile for improved comfort, fit, and style. Now standard across the lineup, it delivers a premium paddling experience and reinforces Delta’s commitment to continuous innovation.
