  • Lightweight yet sturdy

    Effortlessly stable this kayak provides unmatched confidence whether you're paddling or standing, with a generous 550 lbs of capacity. Smart mobility is built into every detail: the modular structure breaks down into ultralight 39 lb sections, each featuring side handles, making transport a breeze—no roof racks or trailers required. Assembly is fast and intuitive, so you can be fishing almost as soon as you unload. Easily transform your Rocket into a solo kayak or tandem, perfect for sharing the adventure with a friend.

  • Pedal Power

    Conquer currents with the propeller pedal drive, offering smooth, powerful cycling motion and instant reverse for tight maneuvers. A sturdy skeg protects the propeller, which is easy and affordable to replace—unlike complex fin drives. Upgrade your angling adventure today

  • Reel Talk

    While the modular design makes transport and storage simple, it’s worth noting that the interlocking pieces use latches located underneath, so the kayak needs to be rolled on its side to connect and disconnect them. Its wide profile adds stability on the water, but also means each section is a bit heavier—still manageable for one person to carry, just not as light as narrower models. Thanks to its width, the Rocket is best suited for medium-sized cars, offering a practical balance between portability and performance.

FAQs

Yes. Remove the middle section and use just the front and rear sections for a 2-piece solo kayak. The same propeller drive that powers the tandem also works in solo configuration.

At 13.8ft fully assembled, the kayak ships in 3 sections — front, middle, and back — each weighing roughly 35–42 lbs. The sections fit in most SUV boots, pickup beds, and many crossover trunks. No roof rack needed even for the tandem configuration.

The propeller drive offers instant reverse — useful for backing away from docks or repositioning around structure. The fin drive is quieter and better in shallow flats. Both are on the same 13.8ft Rocket Tandem hull. Choose prop for control around structure, fin for stealth.

550 lbs usable capacity — accommodates two adult anglers plus gear, tackle, electronics, and any catch. Plan around your loaded weight, not just paddler body weight.

Yes. Two propeller drives can run simultaneously — one in the front cockpit, one in the rear. Both pedalers can independently use forward and reverse to coordinate maneuvers around structure or current.

Yes. The 3 modular sections each take up the same space as a piece of luggage — they stand upright in a closet, stack in a spare room, or store under a bed. No wall brackets needed.

About 5–10 minutes once familiar. The three sections interlock at two seams and clip with no tools required.

  1. Great Kayak with Impressive Performance

    · ·

    I have the 9.8 ft rocket propellor version and I love it I’ve only used it in lakes and rivers and have gone 15 miles in a day no problem max speed with no current if your pushing hard is about 5ish mph It’s a great fishing rig The propellor does catch on weeds really easily but you can back pedal a few times and usually you can clear it I have had problems with screws coming loose, my propellor came of when I was about a mile away from the boat ramp so always keep paddles with you, I reached out to the company and they sent a free replacement then I used locktite when installing it so hopefully that won’t be an issue in the future When I first got the kayak the propeller drive didn’t fit in the slot and I had to file down one of the locks to make it fit, also the prop locks don’t hold it down perfectly so there’s a little bit of wiggle Overall Its treated me great I’ve probably gone 200+ miles on it and have caught its weight in fish-it’s been a game changer being able to fit a 10ft kayak that I can stand up on inside my car is amazing and I’ve never worried about it coming apart it feels very secure It’s my first pedal drive kayak so I have nothing to compare it to but it’s been a game changer for my fishing Quality 7/10 Customer service 10/10 Fun 10/10

  2. Rock-Solid Stability on the Water

    · ·

    I purchased the 9.8ft Rocket Propeller Drive Modular Pedal Fishing Kayak, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Every single feature on this kayak has exceeded my expectations. It’s clear a lot of thought went into the design—from performance to convenience. The modular two-piece build makes transport and storage incredibly easy, even for someone with limited garage space. Snapping the pieces together is simple and secure. The pedal drive system is smooth and efficient, giving me hands-free operation while fishing—an absolute game changer. Stability is top-notch. Whether casting, reeling in, or just cruising, I feel completely confident on the water. The 400lb capacity easily handles my gear without affecting performance. The adjustable seating is surprisingly comfortable for long outings, and the built-in storage options are more than enough for all my tackle and accessories. What really impressed me was the attention to detail—from rod holders to the hull design that tracks well and handles chop effortlessly. This kayak is truly built with the angler in mind. If you're considering this kayak, stop thinking and just go for it. It’s well-built, well-equipped, and a total joy to use. Thank you, Reelyaks, for delivering such an exceptional product!

  3. Great Kayak with Impressive Performance

    · ·

    Purchased from vendor website in ocean blue with prop drive system, with additional tandem seat. I like the kayak. I have been fishing once with it. I intend to add some keel tape on the bottom and take it out again on the water within 3 weeks. I bought a modular kayak so that for the 1-person mode; 2-piece, trip to the lake .... I can fit it into my Hyundai Elantra GT 2020. My parents aren't fans of roof racks.

  4. Outstanding Kayak – Exceeded Expectations

    · ·

    Great kayaks, we purchased two for our sons. The shipping was faster than ordering directly from retailer!

  5. Fantastic Kayak

    · ·
