What is the best kayak for 2025?
Our favorite overall kayak is the wilderness systems pungo 120. It’s maneuverable, swift, and stable, with a large, comfortable cockpit that’s easy to get in and out of. The wilderness systems tarpon 105 is the best sit-on-top kayak we’ve tested. It’s comfortable, stable, and paddles easily, with an open top design. The old town sportsman 120 is a stable and versatile sit-on-top fishing kayak designed for avid kayak anglers. The double-u hull shape provides excellent stand-up stability, while the 12-foot length is perfect for both flat water and slow rivers.PELICAN Catch Classic 120 Fishing Kayak It features adjustable footrests, an Ergocast G2™ seating system, a quick-lock hatch, and a storage platform with bungee cords to secure your gear.
