Your finned prey will never hear you coming aboard ‘the world’s first electric jet fishing kayak,’ which has no props or shafts to snag or drag.
A unique new entry in the motorized fishing kayaks field is the FluxJet Kayak, the world’s first fully integrated jet-powered electric kayak. The rig so impressed the crowd at this year’s International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST) show that it was first voted Best Watercraft of the show, then went on to win the overall Best of Show award.
The 88-pound FluxJet Kayak is 11 feet long and 2 feet, 11 inches wide and has a built-in flush-mount jet drive that can be powered by 12-, 24-, 36-, 48-, or 60-volt batteries. The manufacturer claims a top-end of up to 6 mph and running time of up to 12 hours.
There are no props or shafts to snag on the jet drive propelled kayak.
Because it’s electrified, it should be no surprise that the FluxJet also offers a built-in USB/USB-C charger, plus deck and nav lights. Steering is accomplished via foot-pegs, so your hands always remain free for casting, and modular accessory rails come pre-installed.
Since there’s no need for a bulky pedal drive there’s also a lot more space inside the cockpit. And since there’s no prop or fins attached to a pedal drive, the Fluxjet can take you into even shallower waters than most other fishing kayaks.

Exact draft will depend on load (the weight capacity is a whopping 400 pounds) but there are no protrusions at all going beneath the hull so it will be measured in mere inches.
