If you're after a Galaxy pedal fishing kayak, the FX range offers three top-tier single models, each built for a different type of angler. In short: the Alborán FX3 is the most versatile (and the only one with a central box for fins, propeller, paddle and motor), the Wildcat FX3 is the most stable and the best to start with, and the Supernova FX is the flagship with propeller drive and reverse. All three let you fish hands-free, are stable enough to stand up and fish on calm days, and are CE-certified in category C.

In one line: choose the Wildcat FX3 if you're starting out or want maximum stability, the Alborán FX3 if you want versatility and the best value in the range, and the Supernova FX if you want propeller drive with reverse and the highest load capacity for trolling.

What the Galaxy FX pedal kayak range is

The FX series is Galaxy Kayaks' family of pedal fishing kayaks. All are self-bailing sit-on-tops, made from rotomoulded polyethylene, with a high seat, accessory rails, a transducer compartment for your fish finder and a one-hand rudder control. The difference between the three models comes down to three things: hull size, propulsion system and load capacity.

Tip: the longer the hull, the higher the top speed and the better it tracks; the wider the beam, the more stable it is for standing up to fish. That's the key to why each FX behaves differently on the water.

Galaxy Alborán FX3: the most versatile and award-winning

Galaxy Alborán FX3 pedal fishing kayak gliding with ultraline fins
Alborán FX3: central box compatible with fins, propeller, paddle and motor.

At 409 cm it's the longest of the three, which means better tracking and cruising speed to cover distance. Its strongest card is versatility: it comes with ultraline fins and a multi-purpose central box that also makes it compatible with a propeller, paddle and electric motor. It includes a live-bait well, a transducer compartment for your fish finder, four rails, a RailBlaza Starport and rod holder, and an upgraded rudder with one-hand control.

Standout fact: the Alborán FX3 was named Best Fishing Kayak at the Paddle Sports Show 2025 and now ships with stern motor pre-fitting. It's also the best-value option in the FX range.

Right for you if: you want an all-round kayak you can adapt (fin pedals, propeller, paddle or motor) with excellent value for money. It's the best entry point to modular propulsion. → See the Alborán FX3

Galaxy Wildcat FX3: the most stable and best to start with

Galaxy Wildcat FX3 pedal kayak, stable enough to stand up and fish
Wildcat FX3: the most stable hull in the range, ideal to start and to stand-up fish.

It's the shortest (375 cm) and one of the widest (84 cm), a combination that makes it very stable and manoeuvrable. It carries up to 210 kg (max user 125 kg) and holds coastal navigation certification (Category C). Galaxy itself recommends it for both beginners and advanced anglers, making it an ideal gateway into pedal kayaks.

It comes with a fin pedal drive, two flush-mount rod holders, a RailBlaza Starport and rod holder, six rails to customise it, a high marine-grade aluminium seat, a rudder with manual control and five reinforced carry handles. It also includes motor mounting inserts, in case you want to motorise it later.

Good to know: it's the model with the most verified reviews in the range, and one word keeps coming up in them: stability. That's why it's our default recommendation for anglers moving up from paddling.

Right for you if: you're new to pedals or want maximum stability and handling, coast included. → See the Wildcat FX3

Galaxy Supernova FX: the flagship with propeller drive

Cyclone propeller pedal drive with reverse on the Galaxy Supernova FX kayak
Supernova FX: Cyclone propeller pedal drive with forward and reverse.

It's the top of the FX range. It runs the Cyclone propeller pedal drive, with forward and reverse and a 1:10.5 ratio, plus one-hand rudder control. At 398 × 86 × 48 cm it's the widest and the highest-capacity (250 kg), a hull built for stability and sustained cruising speed.

Tip: the Supernova's propeller holds a steady pace effortlessly, which is why it's the kayak in the range that performs best at trolling and on long stand-up fishing sessions.

It includes six rails around the kayak, a transducer compartment in a self-bailing scupper, a high Vista seat mounted on rails, a flat platform with EVA pads for stand-up fishing, two flush-mount rod holders and generous front and rear storage with bungees.

Right for you if: you want the flagship, propeller drive with reverse and the highest load capacity for trolling and demanding trips. → See the Supernova FX

Which one should I choose for my fishing?

  • Starting out with pedals or stand-up fishing in calm water (Mediterranean, inland reservoirs): Wildcat FX3, for stability and handling.
  • Want versatility and the option to switch from fins to propeller or motor on the same kayak: Alborán FX3.
  • After a propeller, reverse and trolling in more open water (Atlantic coast, longer trips): Supernova FX.
  • Prioritising the best price in the FX range without giving up performance: Alborán FX3.

Important: all three are CE-certified in category C (coastal) and can be registered. If you plan to fit a motor, check the registration rules for your region, as the requirement depends on the motor's power.

The best way to decide is to try them. If you're near our Málaga showroom, come and see them; and if you're unsure, get in touch and we'll advise you based on your type of fishing and your usual waters.

Frequently asked questions about the Galaxy FX range

What's the difference between fins and a propeller?

Fins (Alborán and Wildcat) are efficient and simple to use. The Supernova's Cyclone propeller allows forward and reverse and performs better at trolling and sustained speed. Thanks to its central box, the Alborán FX3 is compatible with both systems.

Which is the best Galaxy pedal kayak to start with?

The Wildcat FX3, for its stability and handling. Galaxy itself recommends it for beginners and advanced anglers alike. If you also want propulsion versatility, the Alborán FX3 is the other great entry option.

Can I fit a motor to these kayaks?

Yes. The Alborán FX3 ships with stern motor pre-fitting and a central box compatible with an electric motor; the Wildcat FX3 includes inserts for fitting one. For motorised versions, also look at the packs with a Torqeedo motor in the catalogue.

Are these kayaks certified and registrable?

Yes. All three models hold CE design Category C (coastal) certification under Directive 2013/53/EU and Spanish Royal Decree 98/2016, and come with a declaration of conformity so they can be registered.

Which one carries the most weight and gear?

The Supernova FX, with 250 kg max load, followed by the Wildcat FX3 (210 kg) and the Alborán FX3 (180 kg). If you carry a lot of gear, a fish finder, a battery and your catch, the Supernova gives you the most headroom.

Are there propeller versions of the Alborán and Wildcat?

Yes. There are the Alborán FX3 Propel and the Wildcat FX3 Propel, which swap the fins for a propeller pedal drive. They're a great alternative if you like a particular model but prefer propeller propulsion.
