Shearwater 125
TL;DR – The kayak that’s more rigged than your fantasy football league:
-
Pedal, paddle, or power: choose your own adventure
-
Ridiculous amounts of customization
-
Summit Seat = all-day butt-hugging comfort
-
Deck space for days (and gear tracks for weeks)
-
Made for first-timers and hardcore fish-slingers
Pedal it. Paddle it. Power it. This is your flagship rig, built for battle.
The Shearwater 125 is the most versatile fishing kayak on the water — period. With plug-and-play pods for paddle, pedal, fin, or motorized propulsion, it’s a chameleon for any angler’s needs. Whether you're hunting reds in the flats, trolling deep water, or silently cruising a lake at sunrise, this boat gives you full control over how you fish, move, and rig.
Multi-mode power. No adapters. All-out flexibility.
Choose how you roll: paddle it with the base pod, drop in the Impulse Drive for smooth pedal power, pop in the fin-style X-Drive, or slap on a Bixpy Jet for throttle-ready missions — all without extra hardware or hacks.
Unshakable stability. Fish-on agility.
Its 12'6" hull glides like a dream yet stays rock solid when you stand, twist, or battle a catch. Built with the serious angler in mind, it tracks sharp, corners tight, and hauls big loads without breaking a sweat.
Rig it like a pro. Then rig it again.
With eight gear tracks, dual Power Pole mounts, an under-seat drawer, electronics pod, and generous tank wells, you can customize every square inch. Organize it, stack it, and tweak it for your next trip without touching a drill.
All-day comfort. All-in performance.
The Summit Seat System adapts to five positions — from low-profile mode to high-perch and standing lean-back. It's breathable, padded, and made for marathon sessions.
If you're ready to fish like a pro with full control and zero compromise, the Shearwater 125 is your ultimate rig.

Got the shearwater 125 to start my yak fishing adventures and I could not be more pleased with the setup, looks and comfort this yak has to offer. Very stable and very easy tracking and paddling was down right easy. So glad I made the decision to go with vibe. So easy you don’t even need legs to enjoy it.
Love my shearwater 125
Sure it needs some upgrades to make perfect.
Best fishing platform available. I can't explain how much I love fishing from this thing!
I pre-ordered the Shearwater a few months before it was released. There was some delays due to Covid so I think I finally picked up the boat in early May. There were some very minor issues with the first generation but Vibe customer support has been nothing short of amazing. Every time I've needed a replacement part (always small things, never anything major) customer support has shipped it to me super fast. Even interacting with customer service is a nice experience. I literally can't say enough good things. Since then I've recommended Vibe to all my friends. Vibe has earned my respect and loyalty for life!
