The goal at Bonafide Kayaks is to create kayaks with "ultimate fishability" so the SS127 was designed from the ground up by a team of kayak anglers and engineers.  The unique hull shape was developed to offer an unsurpassed blend of stability, speed, tracking, and maneuverability.  The heart of the kayak is a high/lo seat which is perched high enough to make standing a breeze as well as having a "Junk Drawer" under the seat to hold your gear.  There are too many thoughtful features to list here so you will just have to see for yourself. Because the folks over at YakAttack are behind this project, you know you can count on the quality and functionality.  Virtually all parts are made in-house and in the USA.

Why purchase A kayak OR SUP from us?

VALUE-SERVICE-KNOWLEDGE-DELIVERY-LESSON-RENTAL CREDIT

We carry products that we feel offer quality and value to the customer. Not gimmicks and hype, but functional, durable products that work.  We carefully select kayaks, paddles, PFDs, and accessories based on brand reputation and personal experience.  

Personal Service is just the way we do things.  Because we are a small company we can spend the time to answer your questions and walk you through the process.  We understand that not every customer has the same needs and we strive to put together a package that fits you. Special orders and custom rigging are no problem. 

Our Product Knowledge comes from over 40 years on the water and over 25 years in the water sports business. We believe this is an important part of our service. We are always searching for  new and better products and in most cases, we test the stuff ourselves.

Free Delivery to your home is just another way we make it easy on you.

A Free Paddling Lesson is available (and recommended) with the purchase of any new kayak or SUP.

Rental Credit means you can try before you buy.   We will credit all or part of any rental fees from the price of your new kayak or SUP. (limitations apply)

Even if you don't buy a kayak from us, Support your local paddling shops. The big box stores usually can't offer any of the benefits mentioned above.  You may be able to save a few bucks today but Craig's List is full of "mistakes".

Why paddlE?

FISHING-FITNESS-SURFING-TOURING-EXPLORING & FUN!...

We paddle for lots of reasons but mostly because it's fun.  No matter what kind of paddling you do there is something special about being out  on the water.  Peoples reasons are as varied as the craft they paddle.  


Fishing from a kayak has lots of advantages.  It allows the angler easy access to places where powerboats can't go and no fuel bill.  They can be very stealthy for those who like to site fish in shallow water.  When fighting fish you are just that much closer to the action.   Most of us prefer Sit On Tops for fishing.

The fitness part of paddling doesn't even have to be intentional.   Most paddlers will benefit from those calorie burning stokes while they fish, tour, explore, and have fun.  If you are more of the fitness type paddler, you probably want a sleeker kayak or SUP with more glide.

Surfing and whitewater paddling in a kayak is a quite a rush and probably the hardest type of paddling to get good at.  There are a few kayaks made for surfing and lots made for whitewater. 

Touring in a kayak is like hiking without all that heavy stuff on your back.  Take the day off (or a week), bring enough food and supplies and hit the water.  The longer the trips the longer the boat because they hold more gear and eat up the miles with less effort..

Exploring is for everyone. There are tons of places to paddle and explore on the Treasure Coast.  Take the time to see some new ones.  

Fun with family and friends Go fishing at dawn with the boys, take the kids out for a picnic on an island, Go on a paddling trip with a buddy or your local kayak club.  It is all possible from a kayak or paddle board.  Just get out there and the fun will meet you on the water.
