Product Description:
The SS127 is built on Bonafide’s signature hybrid catamaran hull, which creates a very wide and stable feel on the water (33.5”–33.75” beam) while still allowing it to track and glide better than most ultra-wide fishing kayaks. This design makes it especially strong for anglers who want to stand, cast, and fight fish confidently even in wind or light chop.
A key part of the design is the HiRise seating system, which positions the angler higher for better visibility and comfort during long sessions. The seat can also be lowered quickly for more efficient paddling when covering distance. The deck is laid out to keep gear accessible and organized, with integrated tracks, rod management points, and dedicated storage zones
