When you shop for a Pelican kayak, you’ll notice a combination of numbers and letters in every model name. These codes are intentional — they help you quickly understand the kayak’s size, category, and included features.
The Numbers = Length
The Letters = Feature Level
Common suffixes include:
- X → Base recreational features (e.g. Orion 100X)
- XR → Upgraded comfort features (e.g. Argo 100XR)
- XP → Performance enhancement (e.g. Sentinel 100XP)
- T → Tandem (e.g. Alliance 136T)
- NXT → Next-generation hull or layout (e.g. Boracay NXT)
- EVO → Evolution of the original model; same hull, upgraded experience (e.g. Solo EVO DLX)
- DLX → Deluxe Version; same watercraft, more features (e.g. Monaco DLX)
EXO = Includes EXO Storage Accessory (e.g. Argo 100X EXO)
Any Pelican kayak with EXO in the name comes with a removable EXO storage solution, like an ExoChill cooler or an ExoPod compartment.
Angler = Fishing Version (e.g. SEEK 100XP Angler)
Any Pelican model with Angler in the name shares the same hull as its recreational counterpart, but comes equipped with fishing-specific features.
