Thanks for the reply,
I know I'm asking one of those crazy questions, but do you have a
recommendation for what I'm looking for if there is such a beast?

Is
this like asking the question... whats the best kayak for white water
rafting Niagra Falls,

It would be made of wood, with closed deck (with a hinge on one side) and
lined with velvet. Engraving on the deck is optional.

the best kayak for traversing the North Atlantic
and one that won't capsize during a tidal wave? It doesn't sound
like it will be easy to find a tandem kayak that can be used by an
individual during some what rough weather.

That depends on the individual. The questions you're asking presume that
the paddler has the skills to paddle in rough weather. Some boats are
better designed to handle rough water than others but the paddlers skill
level (which includes knowledge and common sense) would more likely
determine whether paddling in rough conditions would be a fun experience or
possibly a fatal one.
