As long as its much faster than swimming.
A multi person Kayak (maybe 3 person) can travel faster the more paddlers aboard.
While two-man kayaks and other small, human-powered boats are used for infiltration by reconnaissance units and special operations forces (Army SF maritime ops detachments are known to use kayaks, but have not heard about them being used in the SEALs), they would be difficult to implement in game, as they would be very slow, and we would have to animate a a rowing / paddling sequence. So, you are not likely to see them in game.
They along with other unusual (by modern standards) modes of transport, such as horses and mule strings, would be better for an unconventional warfare MMORPG or strategy game than a first person combined arms combat game.
Unique suggestion, though. Welcome to the forums.
