Vibe Kayaks Sea Ghost 130

Stable and quick fishing kayak with raised seat and rudder

Designed with kayak angling in mind, the Vibe Sea Ghost 130 is the bigger brother of the ever popular Sea Ghost 110 (one of North America’s best-selling fishing kayaks). A similarly well thought out hull, designed with comfort and practicality at the forefront, the Sea Ghost 130 can be used for both touring or fishing and capable of taking plenty of equipment for either.

With a wide stature and long waterline Vibe have designed the Sea Ghost 130 to be kayak capable of handling coastal conditions and offering sufficient stability to fish from both a seated or standing position ensuring you to “bring in any sea monsters you hook”. However it still remains a craft which would handle inland waters and estuaries well too.

With it being designed with fishing in mind, the Sea Ghost hosts a wide array of useful features, including flush mounted rod holders, rod –tip protection on the bow of the boat and 4 long lengths of slide track mounting which will interface with most accessories to add additional swivel mounting rod holders or fish finders. A toe-controlled rudder is fitted to the adjustable footrests and makes for quick turns, while a watertight Vibe Vera Console sits between your legs giving amble room for adding items but also storing things close to hand in a secure dry location. A Fish finder can be easily fitted thanks in part to the recessed transducer mounting point running the cables back up to the tackle pod without the requirement of drilling through the hull.

The Hero Seating system seen across the Vibe range is extremely comfortable and versatile and can be raised or lowered for increased comfort on the water. This framed mesh seat can be tilted to suit your preference. Being raised off the surface of the kayak helps to keep you drier, even in challenging surf launches. The bow has an easy opening hatch with an integrated bag and can easily accommodate items such as a trolley. The rear of the boat has a large tank well with bungees across to secure any equipment into and will comfortably fit a dry bag (or barrel) for additional dry storage.

For a fishing kayak which is packed full of features well suited for the UK coastal angling then the Sea Ghost 130 should absolutely be a considered choice.
