Catch Classic Angler

Package came in as described and on time. Everything seems to be as advertised. As so many reviews mention, the Kayak seems to get beat up during transportation. Mine had scratches on the bottom, broken front handle, and missing scupper plugs. I contacted Amazon's customer service and they wanted me to send it back. I was able to get a small partial credit refunded to my account. While the repair cost was probably more than what I received, I am able to do the repairs by myself. The kayak has ample storage capacity and can hold up to 350 lbs. I like the water resistant storage design. The opening is wide enough to put everything I need to on it. The kayak is easy to use and very stable. It isn't super fast or maneuverable. That's the sacrifice you make for stability. In summary, I would recommend, but make sure you inspect and report anything that is missing or damaged. The customer service has been helpful with me. I know I like this kayak and will but another one for my son.

Very stable kayak and good value for the money. I purchased this for our son who loves to fish and has been asking for one for a long time. He is not a very strong swimmer and although he always wears a good life vest we were concerned about him flipping the kayak especially in the middle of the lake. However, he feels very comfortable in this kayak and it has all the features he wanted. He often stays out fishing in the small lakes around our county for hours. It is very durable and light enough where he can lift it onto and off his car roof rack by himself.

Love my new kayak..Great entry level kayak for beginners who want to fish. This comes with all the basic items you need and is easily customizable as you progress.

A company named RXO out of central Ohio delivered my kayak 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I got a courtesy call from the driver when he was an hour out from my house, and was super polite! When I got home, I observed that the driver had placed the kayak right where I had asked, and it was double wrapped in bubble wrap and plastic. There were no scratches, dents, or damage at all. Overall this was the best delivery I've ever had, and my hat's off to RXO. That being said, I was about to experience some initial pains before I could get it in the water. I had done my homework and knew beforehand that the state of Ohio required kayaks to be registered. What I did not know is that in order to register a kayak at least 10 feet in length, you have to have a Hull Identification Number verification inspection and have a completed Manufacturer's Declaration of Origin form already filled out. It took several phone calls and online inquiries before I discovered that Pelican has a downloadable owner's manual (a paper copy did not accompany the kayak itself). In the middle of the owner's manual is a PDF formatted Manufacturer's Declaration of Origin, which can be completed by the new owner. For anyone in this situation, the Hull ID number is located on the right rear corner of all Pelican kayaks. The biggest problem was that I had to drive 2 hours away to a Department of Natural Resources Boat Registration Agent, for all of 10 minutes while they ran the Hull ID # through an international database to ensure it wasn't stolen, after which they gave me a little slip of paper which I had to drive all the way home and go to the local Title Office so I could get my registration stickers. What a pain!!! Now, on to the good stuff!! This thing handles like a dream! I bought it to bass fish, and it tracks straight as an arrow, while also being a very stable platform to stand and cast WAY back into the veggies to get those fall bucket mouths out of their hiding grounds. I had originally been torn on whether to buy the Catch 100 or the 120, but I went with the 100 for the portability factor and this thing has tons of storage room and standing space. Just for reference, I am 5'10" and 250 pounds and I added at least 50 pounds of gear, which this kayak handled with no problems. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

I purchased my Pelican Catch Classic 120 from Amazon May 4 2026, it arrived without a scratch, however no paper work came with the Kyack. I order and installed many extras on the Kyack including my electric trolling motor, NJ requires the Kyack to be registered if propelled by a trolling motor. I contacted Pelican and they immediately same day sent me two forms, Manufacturers Statement of Origin and the MVC form (Motor Vehicle Commission). Pelican filled out their information and I filled out my information and had the MVC form Notarized. Today 27 May 2026 I went to NJ MV to register my Kyack and I was denied, they informed me that on the MVC form 2nd page (First Assignment) middle paragraph, Amazon signature and date is missing, this would sign the Kyack over into my name. The person at NJ MV informed me that Amazon is the owner of the Kyack until they sign it over to me as stated on the MVC form. 6pm today I contacted Amazon, I requested Email address of someone that had the Authority to sign the MVC form, the Amazon person informed me that Amazon will not sign the MVC form, I requested a Supervisor, the Supervisor also said he would not sign the Form however he sent me a letter saying I’m the Owner of the Kyack, the letter had no signature or Date, I informed him that NJ MV will not except this letter as proof of ownership. I need one Signature and date on the MVC form from Amazon. I’m a excellent customer of Amazon, I’m hoping Amazon can help me resolve this issue so I can legally launch my Kyack for the first time.

Absolutely love it. We enjoy every thing about it.

Bought the pelican catch 120 angler. This is my first kayak and I bought it because it checked all my boxes: high weight capacity (400 lbs), stability, adjustable and comfortable seating, and ample leg room. I wanted to find a kayak with a higher weight capacity that had a flat and large leg area so I can bring my dog with me. This kayak has two sitting options and plenty of room. It’s not the fastest kayak, but I knew I was sacrificing speed for stability with the wider hull. The delivery did take longer than originally expected/scheduled for, however I anticipated that given other reviews so it wasn’t a show stopper for me. I/we liked this so much that my boyfriend (6’3” 230 lbs) ended up buying the same one and he has plenty of leg room and also feels it’s very stable, he was even able to stand up while in it, but that felt a little iffy for him (just to give context). Both kayaks were bought and delivered separately and both arrived in good condition wrapped in bubble wrap (no scratches, holes, etc). It is larger than I really gave it credit for, and I definitely wouldn’t be able to load this on top of my car without help, so keep that in mind. Overall I really like this kayak and would definitely buy again.

I think this is a little expensive for what it is. I saw this same boat at a local store for $250.00 less. R.I.P. to my wallet but other than the monetary aspect that I lost out on I think it's a great yak that'll give anyone hours of fun fishing or floating out on the water. I don't like to stand up on my yaks but I don't think I could on this. I'm 6'3 and 250lbs and it feels I'd fall in if I attempted to stand. Maybe I should have gotten the 12ft. version. Would highly recommend if you can't find the same one just cheaper elsewhere.

Excelente Kayak, solido, estable, perfecto para pesca.

Much nicer then the pictures, well built, quality kayak.

Je l'adore et c'est mon troisième kayak....Il est très stable et facile d'utilisation. Pour les débutants comme pour les plus aguerri....sans flafla, pas de pédale ou de moteur. Un kayak qui avance avec vos bras....c'est un bon exercice. Il est très agile et offre un excellent rapport qualité/prix sans oublier le plaisir qu'il procure. Je le conseil fortement. N'oubliez pas de vous procurer des pagaies de bonnes dimensions. C'est évidemment le plus gros des deux kayaks sur la photo....le petit est un Pelican Sentinel 100.

Excelente

se dirige mal puisqu'il ne vient pas avec d'aileron.gros manque malheureusement. Il est tres grand, bon point ! :) donc, on doit etre 2 pour le deplacer de lauto a la descente, sinon prevoir un rack sur roues ! sinon il est GENIAL, je suis tres satisfaite.
