John W. Anderson
“As a weekend warrior, I’ve been using the Pelican Argo 12’ for a few months now, and it has totally transformed my outdoor experience. The stability is exceptional, and the adjustable seating ensures I can comfortably paddle for hours. I especially love the ample storage for all my gear. It’s lightweight, durable, and perfect for those calm, sunny days on the water.”

“I recently upgraded to the Pelican Catch Mode 110 for my fishing trips, and I couldn’t be happier. The large, flat deck makes standing to fish a breeze, and the HyDryve II system gives me great control on the water. I’ve had no issues with storage either, which makes organizing all my tackle and rods simple. The overall build quality feels robust, and I’m confident it’ll last for many seasons.”
Michael T. Jacobs
“As an avid angler, I’ve tried many kayaks over the years, but the Pelican Catch PWR 100 is hands down the best I’ve used. The design is brilliant for fishing, especially the rod holders and gear rails. Plus, the anti-slip surface is a game changer, especially when it’s wet. The spacious deck and pedal drive system make long days on the water effortless. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about fishing from a kayak.”
Pelican FAQ
What material are Pelican kayaks made of?
Most Pelican kayaks are constructed using RAM-X™, a multi-layer polyethylene material exclusive to the brand that is known for its high impact resistance and ability to regain its shape after pressure.
Are Pelican kayaks suitable for whitewater paddling?
No, Pelican kayaks are designed for recreational use on calm waters like lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers; they do not have the structural reinforcements or maneuverability required for technical whitewater rapids.
Do Pelican kayaks come with a paddle?
While some entry-level “bundle” packages include a basic paddle, most standalone Pelican kayak models are sold without one, allowing you to choose a paddle that fits your height and rowing style.
How should I store my Pelican kayak to prevent warping?
You should store your kayak in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, ideally on its side or suspended by wide straps, to prevent the hull from “oil-canning” or deforming under its own weight.
Is it easy to repair a hole in a Pelican RAM-X hull?
Yes, because RAM-X is a thermoplastic, minor scratches or small holes can often be repaired using a polyethylene repair kit and a heat source to melt new material into the damaged area.
