BUILT TO PUNCH THROUGH WAVES, AND EGOS

Ready to graduate from noodling around the lake to charging offshore like Poseidon on a deadline? The Hydra 130 isn’t just a fishing kayak—it’s a full-blown tactical assault vessel for serious anglers who think “choppy” is just another word for fun. This boat is 13'3" of pure dominance, built specifically for those who treat oceans like their playground.

What Makes Hydra the New Apex Predator?

Ocean-Class Stability
With a 13-foot long, 33.5” wide hull and a flared bow, the Hydra laughs in the face of headwinds, wakes, and wannabe fishing kayaks.
Comfort That Won’t Quit
That Hero 2.0 seat? It’s like a recliner with rod holders. Your back will thank you, your legs can stretch, and your patience will last all day.
Rigged & Ruthless
Rod staging zones, gear tracks for days, and the Versa Center Console to keep everything locked, loaded, and within arm’s reach.
Bixpy-Ready
Want to bolt on some turbo? The Vibe exclusive rudder system supports Bixpy motors right out of the box

Yes, we could've made it cheaper, less safe, or less awesome in the waves.

We didn't. Because when you're miles offshore, reeling in a monster fish, you don't want regrets as your copilot.

Why You’ll Regret Buying Anything Else

Because if you’re still paddling a kayak that can’t handle some swell, you’re basically just in a bathtub with a dream.

The Only Question Is: What Color Will You Dominate In?

This predator is for the ones who don’t play it safe. Those who want more fish, more control, and more kayak than their buddies can handle.

Stable, roomy, and futureproof for both fresh and salt

I’ve paddled the Vibe Kayaks Hydra 130 in both freshwater and saltwater. I’ve had an absolute blast. I’m confident that this is a versatile boat for any water conditions - flatwater lakes, running rivers, and saltwater. I took it through some choppy surf in the ocean and the boat just easily rode over the waves. I felt comfortable and stable with the low center of gravity.

I like how it’s designed to accept both a transducer through the scupper and a motor attachment for the rudder. There are loads of gear tracks (9 of them?) with an additional 2” x 4” mount at the front of the cockpit. My stoke levels are high. This is a great boat for paddling or fishing in whatever water you can find.

Not too heavy either for solo loading and unloading.

Sealed Oval Hatch

Storage abounds with the 20-inch front hatch, featuring a PVC cargo bag to keep your gear organized and dry. There is plenty of room for larger cargo needs, such as a spare paddle or even camping gear.

Bixpy Ready Gravity Rudder

Incorporate the Bixpy Jet into the Bixpy-ready Gravity Rudder for a stealthy, powerful 9 lb setup, including the battery pack, enabling faster travel and easy navigation through currents and windy conditions.

Free Flow Footbraces

Dial in your rudder line tension with the adjustable-on-the-fly FreeFlow Foot Braces. Lock them out to use as a brace, or use them to help steer the baot.

Paddle Park

Because no one wants to be up the in the deep without a paddle, two side-mounted paddle parks keep your paddle secure when your hands are full.

Rear hull access port

Small storage space, hull access for rigging, its there is you need it and its out of the way when you dont.

Removable padded seat

Multi-point adjustable padded seat keeps your center of gravity as low as possible, while keeping you comfortable for long days in the chop.

Replaceable Skid Plate

The replaceable skid plate safeguards the kayak's keel from damage caused by dragging over rough surfaces.

Dual Rear Rod Holders

In addition to the 2x front flush mount rod holders and the rod stagers, there are 2 angled rear Flush Mount Rod Holders to get your gear out of the way and keep it within reach

Transducer Cover

The fishfinder transducer port features mounting points and a protective lid, keeping the transducer unobstructed. This allows the down imaging technology to function with optimal performance while also providing protection against head-on collision damage.

Transducer Port and Accesory Mount Location

Mount your fishfinder within reach, and out of the way with the center mounted transducer port, and accesory mounting location.

Horizontal Rod Stagers

Lay your gear down tucked under the bow flaps and tether it for going through the big swells, once you are in calmer water you can place them out of your way in the 4x Flush Mount Rod Holders.

Versa Center Console

Features a Verse Center Console with a watertight seal, hinged access, dual mini hatches with PVC cargo bags, a magnetic lure catch-all, cup holder, and two gear tracks. Mount D-Rings to the track for a secure tether point for your horizontalrod stagers.

Built To Go Further

Designed specifically to tackle big ocean swell, and track like an arrow. The Hydra excels in places that other boats dare not go.

Low Profile Hull Design

Sleek and narrow, it tracks straight, paddles fast, and provides a low center of gravity, making you feel comfortable tackling whatever mother nature has in store for you.

Purpose Built Fishing Machine

Four Flush mount rod holders, transducer mounting, storage galore, horizontal rod stagers for when things get rowdy, Bixpy Ready Gravity Rudder... Its made for you.
