Bonafide SKF117 Fishing Kayak
Bonafide SKF117 Kayak
The Bonafide SKF117 is a salt flats skiff-inspired hybrid fishing kayak built for anglers who refuse to be boxed in by a single style of fishing. At 11'7" with a 34.5" beam and a 425 lb. capacity, the SKF117 blends stand-up stability with sit-down comfort in a compact, highly maneuverable package. Its signature Hybrid Catamaran Hull merges the lateral stability of a catamaran with the responsive handling of a paddleboard, giving you confident footing whether you're sight-casting across a shallow flat, poling through mangroves, or working a shoreline from a seated position.
Comfort and convenience are built into every corner of the SKF117. The HiRise Seating System elevates your paddling posture for a more ergonomic stroke and a better sightline, while the molded-in underseat storage keeps your most-used gear within easy reach.
The Boss Strap Paddle Management System lets you stow or grab your paddle in seconds, and the spring-loaded drop skeg — deployable right from the seat — gives you precise directional control when covering water between spots, then tucks away cleanly in the shallows. The open deck design is fully compatible with the Bonafide Sidekick and accepts large fishing crates including a 16x16 YakAttack BlackPak, making it easy to rig the SKF117 exactly the way you fish.
Whether you're hunting redfish in back-country marshes, casting for bass on a quiet lake, or spending a laid-back afternoon on the water with family, the SKF117 adapts to fit the day. With Power-Pole Micro Anchor readiness, a stern access plate for hull access, deck traction pads, and a full complement of carry handles, the SKF117 comes ready to go hard right out of the box. It's a versatile, durable, angler-focused platform that delivers serious fishability at any skill level.
