Bulkheads are sealed internal walls that create watertight compartments, providing buoyancy and watertight storage. If you have a sit-inside kayak, those watertight compartments are what keep your kayak on top of the water if you swamp or capsize. Some kayaks, especially entry-level ones, don't have bulkheads. Checking for bulkheads is easy. Just open the hatches (if present) and look inside. Bulkheads are solid walls that separate the compartments within the kayak. If your kayak doesn't have hatches, it's a safe bet it doesn't have bulkheads. Sit-on-top kayaks don't need bulkheads because their design inherently provides buoyancy. The hull of a sit-on-top kayak is typically sealed and filled with air, making it naturally buoyant.
