Bonafide SKF 117 Fishing Kayak
Skiff-inspired catamaran hull that stands rock-steady
Built around Bonafide's proven hybrid catamaran hull, the SKF 117 blends flat-water efficiency with the kind of stand-up stability that lets you pole, sight-cast and fight fish without a second thought. From mangroves to lakes to rivers, it tracks true and stays planted.
- Hybrid catamaran hull for class-leading stability
- Wide, open, padded deck with traction pads for confident standing
- Spring-loaded skeg system to fine-tune tracking and turning
HiRise seating dialed in for paddling and fishing
A high-low HiRise frame seat drops low for an efficient paddling angle and lifts high to make standing, casting and spotting fish effortless. All-day comfort meets a versatile, adjustable platform.
- HiRise high-low seating system
- Seat Rack Positioning System for fore/aft trim
- Molded-in underseat storage keeps gear within reach
Endlessly customizable for the way you fish
Low-profile deck fittings, an Omni Hook stern tankwell tie-down and Boss Strap paddle management give you a clean slate to rig exactly how you want. Power Pole micro-anchor ready and built to carry everything from tackle to coolers.
- Boss Strap paddle and rod management across the bow
- Omni Hook stern tankwell tie-down system
- Power Pole micro-anchor ready with stern access plate
Easy to haul, tough where it counts
Bow, dual stern and side carry handles make loading a breeze, while replaceable dual stern skid plates protect the hull launch after launch. Sidekick and Tag-a-long wheel compatible for shuttling solo.

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.
