Vibe Yellowfin 100

Model : VKB-20R-YF10001-CB
$849.99
Caribbean Blue

The kayak equivalent of ‘I’m just here for a good time:

  • Compact and lightweight = easy solo transport

  • Stable enough to stand, small enough to stash

  • Hero Seat = breathable, elevated comfort

  • Fully riggable with gear tracks, storage hatches, and more

  • 375 lb capacity = plenty of room for gear (or your dog)

Compact, stable, and ready to roll at a moment’s notice.

The Yellowfin 100 is the ultimate grab-and-go kayak — lightweight enough to toss on your roof solo, stable enough to stand and fish from, and spacious enough to hold your weekend gear. Whether you're chasing fish at dawn or just floating for the sunset, this 10-footer keeps things light, fun, and fully riggable.

Short and stable, but no slouch on performance.

The Yellowfin 100’s wide, balanced hull gives you rock-solid stability without sacrificing tracking or maneuverability. It’s ideal for winding rivers, calm lakes, and just about anywhere else you feel like paddling.

Tons of features, zero fuss.

With built-in gear tracks, dual sealed hatches, a roomy rear tank well, and a mount-ready bow plate, you can rig this kayak to fit your fishing flow — or keep it minimal and clean for casual paddling.

Comfort that won’t quit.

The Vibe Hero Seat delivers breathable, elevated back support so you can paddle, cast, and chill without sore spots or swamp butt.

If you want a tough, ready-for-anything kayak that doesn’t weigh you down, the Yellowfin 100 is your all-access pass to the water.

Yellowfin 100

I bought this kayak 3 years ago. I researched looking for what I needed. I had a sit in kayak and hated it it just for the getting out. I love this yak!! I’m on the river every chance I get. I don’t personally use it for fishing. I have never felt more confident in a kayak and LOVE it!!!

Kayak great, customer service good

Bought 2 and took them out on the river. My wife and I just like being on the water. Easy to maneuver and tracks very well. Compartments are easy to operate and convenient to reach. The light weight allows my wife to be able to handle it better than other kayaks we have owned. Only bad thing was 1 was left out of the shipment and had to wait another couples of weeks for the order to be complete. Only way to contact vibe was through email and that was spotty at best. They did refund half the shipping cost due to the mix up though.

First time Kayakers

I am a first time kayaker. I being a bigger person had spent much time doing my research. I came to the yellowfin 100 because of the weight capacity of 375lbs,Now I know I was cutting it close at 350lbs but when I sat in it I felt comfortable. But then we took to the water...I got in my kayak and it was so wobbly I was tipping over I almost cried at this point. But then I turned the brain on and removed the seat lowering my weight equilibrium and that worked but I am not confident in it. I am not putting this out here as a complaint, I am just putting this here for others like me who are looking for a kayak. I truly wish I had bought another with a higher weight capacity so I could be confident and comfortable in my kayaking during my "betterment journey". With that my husband loves his, he said very comfortable!

Easy & Convenient

I didn't want a larger kayak, so the 10 foot Yellowfin 100 caught my eye. I am a female and can lift it on my small SUV by myself. I feel safe in the kayak and it is very stable. I am glad I upgraded to the YF 100 with thicker plastic, because prior to this I was having to purchase a new kayak every two years or so. The Yellowfin handles well in the stream and current. Very happy paddler!

This is a great kayak! I usually take my dog along with me. There’s enough room in the back for him or I sometimes put the foot pedals in the storage compartment if he’s in the front. I use my Yellowfin 100 fishing for bream, striped and spotted bass, and large and smallmouth bass. My friends and I also paddle out to bluffs and bridges to jump and do backflips off of. I’ve got a White Wolf paddle that I treat with Rustoleum NeverWet to prevent water dripping onto my legs/dog. I love my kayak!

ADVENTURES AWAIT!

Just received my Yellowfin 100 kayak! Very pleased with how well it was packaged and wrapped so it arrived in pristine condition. The delivery guys were great. I have yet to use it - hoping this warmer November weather holds for a few more days - but it is exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted something I could lift, carry and use by myself and I can tell it fits the bill. Looking forward to many years of adventures with it!

Just what I needed

I really like this kayak. It has the seat that makes my back happy, and ease of getting on and off of a sit on top. I'll use this yak for weedling through the mangrove tunnels of the keys. Its plenty stable to fish off of and its 10ft length will help me get thru the tight spots. Ive had no problems keeping up with my friends. For the money, its a fantastic yak. 4 stars because Im not capable of reaching its limits. It does exceed mine

Two Thumbs Up

I purchased the Yellowfin 100 from Dick’s and have been very impressed with the features and ease of use for the price. I added a YakAttack track mount for my fish finder and another mount for the anchor rope. Great size and weight to manage by myself hoisting on top of a Jeep!.

As advertised

I've taken it out twice now and I'm impressed. Quite stable, fast enough to move around, and manageable by one person to lift load and unload. I'm 5'10" and can fully extend my legs but no room for growth so consider that when purchasing. (I assumed that going in with a 10 foot yak). All in all, I don't think you'll find a better ride for the price. If you want the freedom to kayak on a whim..buy it.

Yellowfin 100

It came in a good amount of timing, with extra handles and it’s hardware, just as pictured and expected. It does not however, come with a paddle. Great product, great business.

Great Kayak with One Glaring Design Flaw

I bought the YF 100 in Galaxy a couple of weeks ago and it arrived in perfect condition, well wrapped. It's a really good looking canoe and I can't wait to take it on it's maiden voyage tomorrow.

My only complaint to this point is the design of the gear track. For whatever reason, there is not enough space between the end of the track and the kayak itself to insert the base for an accessory that uses a T-bolt style base, in this case the Yakattack MultiMount Cup Holder (sold on this site). The angle is simply too steep and it's hard for me to believe that it was designed this way. There is a good Youtube review of this kayak where the reviewer addresses this problem and shows how he had to use a rotary tool and metal file to cut some angles into the track (starts at 3:16 in link below). So aside from physically altering the gear track, I guess the only other alternatives are to either file down the edge of the kayak next to the gear track to create a better angle for insertion (nope) or loosen/tighten the screws of the track from the kayak every time you want to add/remove an accessory to the track (not very practical). I feel like this would be a very easy problem to remedy in the design process by either shortening the track a bit or by creating some insertion angles as the reviewer did below.

Hey Scott! Our gear tracks actually load from the top by design! Check out this PDF which explains it best.

Fun!

I got the YF100 as more of a play boat during summer and for my wife to use more so than a fishing kayak. It's a great little boat that is perfect for men or women that are smaller in stature. I'm a bigger guy and it's still stable and fun to run around in, for fishing i like a little more space. For my wife however, it's perfect. She's what i would call average size, and it's a perfect fit for her. The boat is very stable for it's size, SUPER responsive (an absolute blast on rivers and for playing around in riffles/small hydraulics), and actually pretty quick/tracks ok to not have a rudder. Overall, zero complaints and would buy it again.

Do. Not. Hesitate. To. Purchase.

After shopping for MONTHS for a kayak that had all the features I was looking for, I happened upon this little beauty through a dealer website. After some further research, I purchased, then waited breathlessly for its arrival. Ordered July 9, to my door by July 16. My Yellowfin 100 in Wildfire arrived as purchased, in all her glory.

As a yak newbie and shorter woman, I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to load on top of my SUV or handle in choppy waters. Mic drop moment, I nailed both. I've had her out twice so far, and have found my new favorite hobby. I added the deck padding, and after cheaping out on a low end paddle, I've upgraded to the Evolve paddle, which arrives today (squeeee!!). Can't wait to try it next weekend. I don't fish (yet) but get exersize (and peaceful contemplation) when I'm out on my Fin, and a rod and tackle purchase may be forthcoming.

If you're on the fence about the Yellowfin 100, or Vibe products in general, get off that fence and purchase when the opportunity arises. You won't be disappointed. I'm in love with mine.

The kayak that started it all for me!!

I love the Yellowfin 100 kayak. I upgraded to the YF 100 from a Pelican and wow did I notice a difference. I've taken mine all over the place. It's light and super easy to transport. I got mine inside my mini van! I love it so much I bought a second one for my girlfriend and she loves hers too! I would recommend this kayak to anyone!

Love It so far

Novice kayaker and kayak fisherman. Took it out once so far.
POSITIVES
*Customer service is excellent. Answered most questions within one day.
*Price very competitive for all that you get.
*Shipping was faster than estimated 10 business days.
*Tracks well. My friend said it tracks better than his 10ft kayak.
*Love the chair. No wet butt!!!
*Super fun and stable!

NEGATIVES
*Many screws were loose and needed tightening. Foot peg track screw was really loose, but easy fix with wrench and screw driver.
*I'm out of shape and inflexible!
*Didn't catch fish!

Would recommend! Let the customizations begin!

Awesome Kayak

If you have a budget under $700 and are looking for a great kayak, this is the one. This kayak is loaded with features, provides stability, and it's just light enough to throw over your head and carry to the water. It's sharp-looking, has a comfortable sturdy seat, and there's plenty of storage throughout, so what else could you ask for. Have only taken this out twice so far, both times on a calm lake so I can't speak to anything else but I've been very impressed so far. If ever I have update that changes my opinion I'll make sure to update this posting.

Impressed

Just received my yellowfin 100 and after researching for months I am glad I decided on the 100. Build quality is great and for the money it's a Best Buy!. It was shipped quick, packaged great and love the look of it. If on the fence thinking it must be cheap made think again. Having nice gear tracks, great seat and actual rod holders that are functional are awesome at this price point! I spent 30 years in the military and am extremely picky. It's very nice and worth the money! Looking forward to many adventures!

I bought a second one for my wife!!

Great Kayak!!
That's really all that needs to be said about the Yellowfin 100. I don't fish but I'm a larger guy with back and knee problems that made a standard Kayak just plain uncomfortable. I chose the Yellowfin not for it's rep as great angling kayak but based on excellent reviews of it's capacity, stability and for the seat and I have to say that I have not been disappointed. I'm 6'2", 265 pounds and I can use this Kayak all day. It's ridiculously stable even in choppy water and the seat is amazing...so comfortable.
I was so impressed that I ordered a second one for my wife. Both arrived in less than 5 days after ordering, both were well packed in and in perfect condition. We spent almost the entire day on them yesterday and had an absolute blast. Also got many compliments as we were unloading & loading. Best looking kayaks out there for sure!!

If I was forced into finding anything negative about the Yellowfin 100 it might be that it doesn't track quite as well as other kayaks I've owned, I'm talking only very slightly worse but I think that's a small trade off for the stability, and maybe that it's a little heavy compared to some other 10ft boats, but that just speaks to the construction. You can tell it's not a thin, flimsy hull and I really expect these kayaks to last for years.

If you're browsing, researching or thinking of pulling the trigger on a Vibe Kayak...Just do it. You won't be disappointed.

Outstanding!

His and hers...

Did a lot of research and were quickly drawn to the Vibe family. We both love our Yellowfins....having a blast. Great on the water, fun to fish on. The quality is exceptional. Best looking kayaks on the water everywhere we go.

It's amazing.

It's the best kayak I've ever rode on easily. Fast and works perfect standing and sitting The only downside is it's pretty heavy. And a better paddle will be needed in the future but an amazing buy.

Great fishing kayak

After a lot of research I purchased this 7 months ago and could not be happier. Tracks well, stable, 4 rod holders, 2 dry storage compartments and VERY comfortable seat.
I have fished this in rivers and lakes and can fish standing in quiet water.
Don't settle, this is worth the money.

First kayak. Don’t settle.

Love this kayak. Especially for my first purchased one, it's easy and comes ready to go! I brought my own backpack cooler and we were gone most the day. I absolutely am in love the color, I looked at others but honest when I was going to spend as much as I did, I wanted the color I wanted and kept coming back to this website, that jam berry though! So grateful I didn't settle. First time out was able to stand up with no fear and felt quite stable and sound. Can't wait to wear it out! #dontkillmyvibe #outherevibin

Exceeded my expectations.

Took my new Skipjack 100 out on the water for the first time and I couldn't be more pleased. The boat is remarkably stabile, and tracks beautifully. I couldn't believe how comfortable the Hero Seat was. Looking forward to getting back out on the Skipjack again soon.

Vibe Yellowfin 100

I bought the Yellowfin for my son, although I spend a good deal of time in it myself. It is a perfect throw and go boat. The stability is awesome for a small boat. It tracks well and is a blast to paddle. The hero seat is a game changer. My son uses it alot to bowfish from, he has no issues walking around in it! If your looking for a small, easy to handle little yak to get on the water with. The Yellowfin should be on top of your list!
