Vibe Shearwater 125 with Impulse Propeller Drive

Supplied with an Impulse Drive Pod and propeller style pedal drive, the Shearwater 125 is capable of going backwards instantly and as effortlessly as it moves forward. This makes the Impulse drive an ideal propulsion system for anglers who prefer the ability to back up quickly if required.

Anglers will also appreciate the deck layout of  Shearwater, which features loads of storage and accessory mounting utility. This fishing kayak includes four flush-mount rod holders that are ideal for storage or trolling as well as four horizontal rod holders with tip protectors.

There are also four tackle tray slots included as well as an under-seat tackle drawer to keep tools and tackle organized. Front and rear cargo wells with bungee tie-downs offer ample storage room for larger equipment and while two side gear tracks provide easy installation and customization for fish-finders, rod holders, etc.

Three sealed hatches simplify electronics wiring, and a removable fish-finder pod with transducer mount protects equipment. The fully adjustable Summit Seat ensures superior comfort.

The Shearwater has a low profile hull design and shallow freeboard, with a sleek hydro-dynamic water piercing bow and a 12’6″ length hull for pushing its way through the water with minimal effort. It’s also wide and stable enough for standing and casting in calmer waters.

The Vibe Shearwater 125 with Impulse Drive is ideal for kayak anglers who prioritize versatility, maneuverability, and hands-free fishing across diverse waters. It suits anglers fishing in lakes, rivers, or coastal flats, where the Impulse Drive’s propeller system offers smooth forward propulsion and instant reverse for precise positioning in currents or tight spaces.
