Pelican Sit-on-top Fishing Kayak Lightweight

The Pelican Sit-on-Top Fishing Kayak is a purpose-built platform for recreational anglers who want stability, comfort, and fishing-specific features without the weight penalty of larger kayaks. At 10 feet long and 50 pounds, it strikes a practical balance between on-water performance and portability — light enough for one person to lift onto a vehicle and carry to the water's edge. The multi-chine flat-bottom hull is engineered for high initial stability, giving anglers the confidence to shift weight, lean, and cast without feeling tippy. Built from high-molecular-density polyethylene, the hull is impact-resistant and durable enough to handle rocky launches and shallow-water scrapes.

On the fishing side, the kayak comes well-equipped out of the box. Three rod holders — one swivel and two flush-mount — let you keep multiple lines in the water or store rods securely while paddling. Storage options include a front quick-lock hatch for dry gear, a 4-inch day hatch with an integrated storage bag for smaller items like tackle and keys, and a rear tank well with bungee cord for a crate or cooler. Accessory eyelets throughout the deck provide attachment points for aftermarket gear. The adjustable ERGOFIT G2 seating system features thicker ergonomic padding and a supportive backrest, designed for all-day comfort. Additional flotation built into the hull meets or exceeds ABYC safety standards, and self-draining scupper holes keep water from pooling on the deck. For anglers fishing lakes, ponds, and sheltered coastal waters, this Pelican kayak offers a capable, lightweight, and well-priced entry point.
