If you’ve ever tried fishing whilst standing in a small dinghy, canoe or kayak – you’ll understand how difficult it is to keep your balance. Well, this clever craft called the Only Stand Up Fisherman’s Kayak features a patented, extendable outrigger system that prevents it from rocking or capsizing – enabling fishing fans to confidently stand during a spot of offshore angling.
Made of durable polyethylene with stainless steel and aluminum hardware, the Only Stand Up Fisherman’s Kayak looks and functions just like a traditional kayak when in motion. When you want to drop anchor however, the two independent outriggers swing into action – pivoting outward 45° to the craft’s centerline for rock-free stabilization. The twin outriggers are removable for easy transport and also feature a watertight storage compartment in each – for storing your bait, beer and brunch.
With adjustable footpads and a nylon-covered padded foam seat, the Only Stand Up Fisherman’s Kayak features a casting brace in the bow, a pull-rope to help you stand and an easily-assembled 12-ft push pole – for some peaceful punting or quiet infiltration of prime fishing spots.
Including scupper drain holes for easy water removal, an anchor boom for seated anchor deployment, two fishing rod holders and a paddle holder, the Only Stand Up Fisherman’s Kayak measures 13ft 10″ long x 30″ wide, weighs 85 lbs, supports up to 400lbs and is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $1899.95.
