Vibe Kayaks was founded on the premise of having a great time doing what you love on the water. Established in 2013, we pioneered the creation of the first high-quality fishing kayaks in a variety of sizes and colors at an affordable price. We brought the original sub-$1000 true fishing kayak to the industry. Now Vibe has 8 hard-sided kayaks and an expanding inflatable line. Vibe has not only transformed the kayak industry but consistently provides paddlers and adventurers of all skill levels the opportunity to experience the freedom that water has to offer.

Overview

The Makana 100 is the ultimate throw-and-go kayak, at only 10ft long and weighing in at less than 60lbs (hull weight) it is the perfect boat for those who are tired of lifting and lugging on heavy sit-on fishing kayaks. Giving you portability without sacrificing usability, it has a fishing focused design with features such as the protected transducer mount and flush mount rod holders, while keeping things simple and user-friendly.
The Makana 100 was designed around our Select-a-Pod system, which gives you the option to utilize the included pedal drive configuration, or swap it out for our other pedal driven option with the X-Drive Kit, or our Impulse Drive Kit (depending on your chosen initial configuration). The X-Drive features a fin style drive system letting you pedal in shallower weedier waters, while the Impulse Drive allows you to take advantage of instant reverse with its propellor style design. Both pedal pods and our optional Versa Pod can be swapped with each other without modification making the Makana the best throw-and-go kayak in our lineup.

Carry this 10-ft, under-70-lbs pedal kayak yourself and be on the water in no time. Innovative hybrid W hull provides stability you would have to see to believe but still allows for the kayak to maneuver in tight spaces on the water. With two oversized tankwells, a Flex Top Gear Cover, and an 8-inch hatch up front, bring everything you need to level up your adventure. The quick-dry, super-plush Hero Seat, with two optimized seating positions, accommodates the Summit Seat Perch for superb sight fishing. Includes our propeller-drive system, Impulse Drive, which guarantees smooth forward motion, stability in currents and wind, and effortless reverse maneuvering in tight spots. Now you can easily swap between the Impulse Drive and X-Drive for your pedal adventures. Features four slotted top-loading gear tracks, allowing you to choose your adventure. Load up your kayak with fish finders, rod holders, or even a third cup holder. Two rear flush-mount rod holders keep your essential rods within quick reach while still ensuring they are out of the way of your cast and tree branches. Tackle changes are fast and easy with the two 3600 series tackle tray slots, one on either side of your chair, which can be secured under the bungee lashing and pulled out with just one hand. The fishfinder transducer port features mounting points and a protective lid, keeping the transducer unobstructed. This allows the down imaging technology to function with optimal performance while also providing protection against head-on collision damage.
All hard-shell kayaks purchased from Vibe Kayaks come with a lifetime warranty on the hull. Inflatable kayaks purchased from Vibe Kayaks come with a 2-year warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects that affect the performance of the product. Vibe is not responsible for any damages to persons or items incurred due to unsecured Vibe products during transport or usage, and this warranty does not cover these instances.

What Users Are Saying

Love my new Makana 100. I purchased this to be a very capable throw and go fishing and recreational kayak. Well, mostly fishing. I can lift and carry it pretty far and it fits in the back of my pickup only extending a bit (~2ft) past tailgate when down (5 ft bed). No need for my bed extender like for my 12 foot kayak.
