The Wahoo 3m - Ultimate Compact Fishing Kayak

Feature-Rich, Lightweight & Built for Aussie Anglers

Designed for passionate fishos who want all the features without the bulk, this brand-new 3-metre fishing kayak hits the sweet spot between performance, comfort, and portability. Whether you're navigating narrow creeks, weaving through tight river bends, or gliding over calm bays, this compact powerhouse offers everything you need — without weighing you down.

💺 Comfort That Lasts All Day

The standout feature? A raised stadium-style seat that changes the game. Padded and made from breathable mesh, it keeps you cool during long sessions on the water. More importantly, the elevated position supports your lower back and keeps you high and dry — even when water splashes into the cockpit. You’ll appreciate this seat more than you realise… especially after a full day chasing that next big catch.

🎣 Built-In Fishing Versatility

With multiple flush-mounted rod holders and integrated track rails, customising your setup is effortless. Add your favourite rod holders, GoPro, or a fish finder — it's ready for it all. Right in front of the seat, you'll find a large, watertight rectangular hatch — ideal for stashing your phone, keys, or tackle within arm’s reach.

🧳 Serious Storage Solutions

A large front hatch with hard cover gives you easy access to generous storage space — perfect for gear you want to keep dry and close at hand. At the rear, there's ample room for a cooler or tackle crate, plus not one, but two dedicated mounting grooves if you want to add a motor bar and an outrigger system (sold separately). This feature is unique to the Wahoo and the only model in the fishing kayak range to have it.

📡 Integrated In-Hull Transducer Mount – Seamless, Secure & Sonar-Ready

The Wahoo 3m Fishing Kayak is equipped with a thoughtfully designed in-hull transducer mount, catering to anglers who prioritize both functionality and protection for their equipment.

Why we think it's awesome:

• Universal Compatibility: The spacious in-hull cavity accommodates transducers from all major brands, ensuring versatility for various fish finder systems.

• Protected Installation: By housing the transducer within the hull, it remains shielded from potential damage caused by submerged obstacles like logs or rocks, enhancing its longevity.

• Efficient Cable Management: A strategically placed hole in the cockpit allows the transducer arm to seamlessly connect to your fish finder display, which can be conveniently mounted on the track rail, keeping your setup organized and tangle-free.

• Enhanced Sonar Performance: Mounting the transducer inside the hull can lead to improved sonar performance by reducing turbulence and air bubbles that might interfere with signal clarity.

This integrated solution not only streamlines your kayak's appearance but also ensures that your fish-finding equipment operates at its best, allowing you to focus on the catch without concerns about equipment safety or performance.

🚤 Smart, Stable Hull Design

Measuring 84cm wide, this kayak’s flat hull delivers excellent primary stability — perfect for standing casts or leaning in during a fight. A splayed V-shaped bow slices through chop and boat wash with ease, making it surprisingly capable in bays and estuaries. Add in the included foot-controlled rudder system, and you’ve got impressive tracking and responsive steering for tight turns.

• Stability: ★★★★★ (10/10)

• Tracking: ★★★★☆ (9/10)

• Speed: ★★★☆☆ (7/10)
