Paired with the Vibe fin powered X-Drive, the Vibe Shearwater 125 is a feature packed pedal-powered fishing platform that is perfect for precise positioning and covering long distances while keeping your focus on the catch. Coming soon

Vibe Shearwater 125 with X-Drive

Supplied with an X-Drive Pod and fin style pedal drive, the Shearwater 125 is propelled efficiently with surprising ease, leaving your hands free to focus on the fishing. Complimented by the Shearwater’s hydro-dynamically shaped bow and 12’6″ length, the X-Drive will push forward through wind or current more effectively than a paddle stroke. Even beginners that have never sat in a kayak before will get optimal performance on day one. 

Any experienced kayak angler will appreciate the attention to detail that Vibe have put into the design and layout of the Shearwater, with an open deck that provides a spacious, padded standing area with a stand-assist strap and non-slip EVA deck padding for stability during stand-up casting. It includes four flush-mount and four horizontal rod holders with tip protectors, accommodating up to eight rods, ideal for trolling or keeping rods secure yet accessible.

Four tackle tray slots (fitting PLANO 3600 trays) and an under-seat Versa Drawer keep gear organized. Front and rear cargo wells with bungee tie-downs and a Flex-Top cover secure larger items, while two side gear tracks allow customization for fishfinders or additional rod holders.

Three sealed hatches simplify electronics wiring, and a removable fish-finder pod with transducer mount protects equipment. The high-low, adjustable Summit Seat ensures comfort for long sessions, and the kayak’s 35-inch width and 475-lb capacity support anglers and gear in diverse conditions, from lakes to coastal waters, making it a versatile, stable, and customizable fishing platform.
