Although it’s been on the market for a while, the fishing kayak and touring kayak Galaxy Force is one of the latest additions to our family. We’re talking about a next-generation fishing kayak that forms part of our entry-level range and stands out, among other things, for its versatility.
Given its price point, around €490, it might seem like a cheap kayak designed for beginners just getting into kayak fishing. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. The Galaxy Force is here to stay and aims to win the hearts of users of all levels – from beginners and occasional paddlers to experienced anglers – who are looking for a small, easy-to-transport and store kayak that’s lots of fun and offers excellent fishing performance.
How big is it, how much does it weigh, and what does this kayak offer?
The Force is a rigid, sit-on-top kayak that measures 295 cm in length, 78 cm in width and 38 cm in height. It weighs around 21 kg and can support a maximum load of 130 kg, including the paddler and essential gear. For this reason, it’s not recommended for anglers who weigh over 105 kg, especially if planning to carry heavy equipment or take extended trips.
When it comes to paddling, despite its compact size, it’s a very stable kayak thanks to its wide beam and flat-bottomed hull design. The shaping and style of the front keel and rear end provide good manoeuvrability along with a smooth and relatively fast glide for its size. This makes it ideal for accessing tight spots or paddling in choppy waters without losing stability.
As with all our latest kayak models, its hull features a moulded area designed for the easy and convenient installation of an electric motor for kayaks, which is not included as standard but can be purchased separately. This detail gives the Force an edge over other entry-level kayaks by offering features usually found in higher-end models – perfect for anyone looking to add motor power without upgrading their entire kayak.
As expected, the Force comes fully equipped with a paddle, lifeline and seat, meaning it’s practically ready to hit the water right out of the box. It’s also available in a range of designs and colours, including the High Visibility (HV) series with bright tones that not only look great but also add an important layer of safety by increasing visibility in challenging conditions or in busy fishing areas.
Galaxy Force – much more than just a budget kayak for casual paddling
Whether it’s jigging, trolling, spinning or live bait fishing, the Galaxy Force has been designed with angling in mind. That’s why it includes several essential features for our favourite sport as standard:
- Ample storage capacity, with two small watertight hatches (one between the legs and another up front), a rear cargo area with bungee cords, and enough space for tackle boxes, a small cooler, or even a battery for a motor or fishfinder.
- Rod holders everywhere. This kayak comes with two flush-mounted rod holders behind the seat and one adjustable front rod holder for dynamic use tailored to your fishing style.
- The Force allows for the installation of additional accessories, such as mounts for GPS units, fishfinders or extra rod holders using universal bases.
- Comfortable, adjustable high-back seat for added comfort on longer trips.
Where and how should you use it?
This model is suitable for both short recreational outings and full fishing sessions in inland or coastal waters. Its size makes it ideal for rivers, reservoirs, or sheltered coastal areas. It even fits inside many vans and large family cars, eliminating the need for a trailer or roof rack if you want to fish spontaneously.
For those living in flats or with limited storage space, the Galaxy Force is one of the best options currently available. Easy to store, easy to transport, and above all, easy to enjoy.
Why should you consider our Galaxy Force fishing kayak?
The Galaxy Force is much more than an affordable or beginner’s kayak. It’s a compact model with the soul of a big kayak, designed to adapt to different fishing styles and paddler profiles. Its light weight, stability and standard equipment make it a powerful tool both for newcomers and for those looking for a more manageable second kayak.
Whether you’re chasing fish at sunrise on your favourite lake, exploring hidden coastal coves, or simply spending a relaxing afternoon paddling for fun – the Galaxy Force delivers. No fuss, no excess weight, and everything you need for epic days on the water.
