  • Why you will love it

    Engineered for ultimate fishing versatility, the Raven features a massive open cockpit for standing to fish, an integrated accessory track rails for your electronics, and a stable W-hull design. It has an undermount rudder for tight turns and the rudder tucks away for easy transportation. We've added a rigid stern mount to easily add a low cost fixed trolling motor - so no need to worry about having to integrate trolling steering cables for this kayak.

  • Paddle power

    By stripping away heavy pedal mechanics, the Raven delivers pure, low-maintenance stealth. The lightweight alloy paddle allows you to glide effortlessly over thick lily pads, shallow flats, and timber lines without worrying about tangled weeds or mechanical damage. It drastically reduces the kayak's overall weight, allowing you to pack more gear while maintaining a quiet, zero-disturbance approach to your favorite fishing spots.

  • Reel talk

    The simple 2-piece modular setup completely eliminates the need for roof racks, trailers, or garage space—fitting easily inside a hatchback, compact SUV, or apartment closet. While assembling the interlocking frame requires a quick click of the heavy-duty security latches before launch, carrying the lightweight halves (under 44 lbs each) is a breeze for any back. At a nimble 10 feet, the Raven proves you don't need a massive truck to command big-water energy.
