Introducing the Shearwater™ 125

Kennesaw, GA (July 2019) – Meet the Vibe Shearwater™ 125

Drawing further upon the ingenuity that put Vibe Outdoors at #137 of Inc Magazine's fastest-growing American companies, and the fastest growing fishing kayak company, Vibe is proud to debut the Shearwater™ 125, the most complete angling kayak which includes the unique choice of power, pedal or paddle in a very fast, nimble, and highly customizable package - all at an incomparable MSRP. The Vibe Shearwater™ 125 delivers the ultimate versatility in a premium sit on top fishing kayak for an unmatched fishing experience by combining features that kayak anglers customarily had to choose one over the other.

"The Shearwater 125 doesn't just change the game, it ends it," says Josh Thomas, Vibe Outdoors' CEO. "The Shearwater is not just Vibe's newest creation, it's now the bar for which all fishing kayaks will be measured in terms of versatility, angling features, customization, and premium value at the best price. Any angler can now build the best-in-class kayak of their dreams at the pace and price they want and can afford."   

The Shearwater™ 125 angler kayak will be rolling out in early 2020.

Two years in the making, the Vibe Shearwater™ 125 delivers the ultimate versatility in a premium sit on top fishing kayak by combining features that kayak anglers customarily had to choose one over the other. The result is a fishing vessel designed from the ground up, that delivers the impossible. With your choice of pedal, power, or paddle, Vibe inspires unrivaled confidence with every cast.
