Finally: a tandem kayak that doesn’t start fights
Because some adventures need two paddles... and twice the snacks.
Paddle together. Argue later

TL;DR – Because some adventures need two paddles... and twice the snacks:

Paddle tandem, solo, or with a kid/pup — it’s built to flex
Two Hero Seats = all-day comfort for both paddlers
Wide, stable hull = easy to paddle, hard to tip
Gear tracks + tankwell + 3 seating positions = tons of rigging options
500 lb capacity = load it up and adventure on

From solo escapes to tandem trips — the kayak that adapts to your crew.

The Yellowfin 130 Tandem is a flexible machine built for couples, families, friends, and solo explorers who want options. With two fully equipped seating positions and a center platform that doubles as a third seat or standing space, this boat makes every outing feel like your own.

Tandem stability. Solo freedom. All-day fun.

Cruise calm lakes, coastal bays, or winding rivers with a partner — or strip it down and paddle solo with room to sprawl. The Yellowfin 130T is wide and stable for confidence on the water, but streamlined enough to track straight and cover distance without a fight.

Gear up, stretch out, bring the dog.

It’s loaded with rigging options, rear tankwell storage, bungees, and built-in gear tracks — so whether you’re carrying fishing gear, picnic supplies, or an extra set of paws, you’ve got the room to roll.

Two Vibe Hero Seats = no arguing over comfort.

Each paddler gets breathable mesh support and adjustable backrest comfort. The center position even gives a third paddler or a standing angler room to join in.

The Yellowfin 130T has plenty of room for two, or one, and a really judgmental dog. However you paddle, the Yellowfin 130T makes sure the ride is smooth, stable, and never boring

The Best Kayak

I love this kayak so much. Tracks way better than my other kayaks, the seat is super comfy, very stable, and I love the fact that you can use it with either one or two people. Plus its super stylish! I've used it with both my kiddos, I've used it with another adult - both worked great. Can't say enough great things about it. I love it so much that I bought another Vibe single kayak for when its just me :)

Great Tandem

Recently purchased the Yellowfin T130. It was delivered promptly. Assembly was very easy. I am using it in tidal creeks in South Carolina. It is a very adaptable kayak. It is easy to transform from a tandem with lots of room ( me, my wife and the dog ) to a great single kayak for a day of fishing. It is a very stable platform and tracks well. I also like the accessory rails. I highly recommend this kayak.

Perfect River Kayak

I've had the 130T for two years now - used primarily on "floating" rivers. It's PERFECT for spending the day on the water - pulling up on a rock beach, taking the chairs out and eating lunch. The storage wells are enough to keep all of our supplies, and the back is perfect for our YETI cooler. It is s easy to lift up and transport on the roof rack of my SUV. The longest trip I've taken was about 16 miles and we were comfy the entire time. It's stable enough for us to stand if we want, and we've even dived off the side in swimming holes. We regularly get compliments often on the coloring. I love this kayak so much I've just bought the 100 in the same color to make solo trips a little easier. Another user noted they take their little one in it - I also have taken mother/daughter day trips with my 11 year old, and can navigate solo for the both of us with no problem. 10/10 would absolutely buy again.
