  • Wife wants a kayak too

    Lately I've been letting the yak sit and fishing off my bay boat.
    But as I was cleaning it up and putting on the new stickers, my bride steps up and tells me she wants a kayak.
    She wants to follow me around so I figure she primarily needs one that tracks well and has a comfortable seat.
    Right now I'm looking at the Pescador Pro 12 and the Cruise 12.
    Do you know of other stable models with the stadium style seating?

    You might want to consider the Vibe Sea Ghost 110 or 130, both of which have the stadium style seat. My girlfriend and I both fish from Sea Ghost 130s, and they are incredibly stable. The price isn't too bad either.

      Take a look at the new Native Manta Ray Angler 12 XT to be released over the winter. It has a raised seat and is priced nicely.

        Thanks guys.
        That Manta Ray is nice. But she wants one now. And we figured we could take advantage of the end-of-year discounts.
        The Sea Ghost makes the cut.

          Also might want to consider a Native Watercraft Ultimate 12. Its a hybrid kayak (so very stable), tracks well and comes with a stadium style seat that is pretty comfortable to sit in. The biggest perk is the weight. The Ultimate 12 comes in @ 44lbs without seat and 49lbs with seat. Lighter boat means your wife can have a easier time getting the yak to and from the water (unless that's your job). The Vibe Sea Ghost comes in @ 62lbs.

            My wife loves her Pompano120....&it was so cheap, thanks to Intel from Dogfish...that I don't regret the purchase even when she won't tag along
