Dagger Phantom

The Phantom is designed as a high-performance whitewater boat. While its tracking and agility are excellent, it is engineered for paddlers who already have a solid grasp of river-running fundamentals and want to advance their precision in challenging water.

Yes, the 255-pound capacity is the total weight limit for the paddler and any gear you are carrying. For the best performance and handling, it is recommended to stay within this limit to ensure the boat maintains its intended buoyancy and responsiveness.
