Bonafide Kayaks RS 117

Getting into a genuinely well-designed fishing kayak doesn't have to mean stretching your budget to its limit. The RS117 brings Bonafide's engineering and USA manufacturing to an accessible price point without cutting corners on the features that actually matter on the water.

The hull borrows the hybrid catamaran design from Bonafide's SS series, which means the stability-to-width ratio is genuinely impressive. At 33.5 inches wide and 77 lbs, the RS117 outperforms heavier and wider kayaks on both tracking and stability, and it's confidence-inspiring enough to stand and fish from. The new Stadium Seat is lightweight and adjustable between two positions, making it easy to dial in your comfort for long days without fighting with your seat every time conditions change.

The deck layout is thoughtful from end to end. A Shield Frontwell Cover with integrated paddle pouch keeps the bow tidy, a centralized storage pod keeps essentials within reach, and a forward transducer-friendly scupper makes rigging your fish finder straightforward. YakAttack MightyMount XL track adds serious accessory flexibility. Oversized FatGrip handles at the bow and stern sit in ergonomically sensible locations for carrying, and the side handles double as rod and paddle retainers when car topping. Every RS117 is backed by Bonafide's Limited Lifetime Hull Warranty.
