Vibe Yellowfin 130T Tandem

Model : VKB-20R-YF13001-CB
$1,299.99
Caribbean Blue

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.

Totally Happy

My wife and I finally got out kayak and got it on the water for just an amazing day. We had a blast fishing from all sides and both of use were able to stand up and fish it was so stable I couldn't believe it. The only issue was a few of our bugee straps broke but that is a small issue. Completely happy with our purchase!

Awesome Kayak

My wife and I have had our Vibe tandem for over two years now and love it! We take it to the lake together and I run it down the river by myself, oftentimes. The seating is very versatile making it a great solo or tandem option. After a year, I purchased a keel system from Vibe and that greatly reduces any control issues the 14 ft length may cause some paddlers. Customer service from Vibe has always been superb so I have have continued to purchase accessories through them such as upgraded paddles, etc. The craftsmanship has been great and we have had absolutely no issues. Great kayak for the price. And did I mention, it's extremely stable! My wife no longer worries about wakes from boaters when we're on our Yellowfin.

Awesome sauce

I was very skeptical about purchasing a sit on top kayak from a company I have never hear of before. Especially since I have never paddled a sit on top before. I am so glad I did. This kayak is awesome. It tracks straight and is easy to paddle solo even from the back paddling position and with a full grown adult in the front seat. I bought the 130t so that my wife and 3yr old son can all go together without buying two yaks and it was a good choice. Now I'm excited to try fishing out of the boat. I definately see myself purchasing a sea ghost or shearwater in the future as my son and wife build their confidence and strength to paddle on their own. Let the adventures begin!!

Perfect for tandem or solo

Sold my beloved sea ghost for the YF130T because my 6yo loves coming out with me. I was a bit skeptical, but quickly fell in love with it. I don't have the best balance, but it's so stable both my son and I can stand and fish simultaneously with ease. And even though I'm paddling both of us, it's not too hard at all. The open deck design makes it easily customizable to your needs. And not to mention, Vibes customer service is outstanding. Customer for life.

Awesome yak

I love to fish. My wife just likes to be on the water. This kayak is tremendously versatile, very stable, and a whole lot of fun! Dollar for dollar nothing, nothing can beat this kayak for the performance it provides!

Fish can't hide

Have had my 130T for less than a week and have used it twice. Perfect kayak for me and my lady, who love to fish. Only minor issue was some hardware for the 2nd seat was missing upon delivery (probably the carriers fault). Vibe was very accommodating when I called and shipped new hardware out that same day. Fishing the banks doesnt even come close to being on the water, we've brought in about 15-20 fish in just 2 trips. I give this kayak an easy 5 stars and highly suggest it to anyone thinking about purchasing a tandem kayak.

First kayak

Bought the yellowfin 130T about 2 years ago. This kayak has been great and I have caught many fish and have paddled many hours on this kayak. The kayak is extremely stable I have never had an issue with flipping even with two anglers sometimes working against each other. This kayak paddles well and has good tracking(as long as both paddlers are some what working together). I bought this kayak for fishing with my wife and friends it has been a great purchase so far. The kayak has held up well and only has a few scratches. If someone is looking for a good tandem kayak then look no further.
