Rider hv

The Galaxy Rider is the younger brother of the Cruz kayak and is ideal for those of us who

want a versatile fishing kayak that can be used as a sea kayak as well as in lakes and rivers.

Jigging, trolling, spinning, live bait - whatever style of fishing you want to do the Rider delivers

and then more.

This kayaks also comes with CE certification, which is the only one of its kind in its category.

Add to this the Galaxy Guarantee and confidence you get when you buy Galaxy Kayaks and

you can rest assured you’ve got yourself an ideal kayak for casual fishing and weekend

adventures at a fantastic price!

This kayak is designed to maximise stability with its 82cm width and specially designed flat

bottom, which helps maintain stability even when reeling in the most strenuous fish. Even

though it’s a shorter more stable kayak, the Galaxy Rider still maintains a good speed as the

deep front keel and back have been designed to make it a smooth ride.

The Galaxy Rider comes with four flush mount fixed rod holders and one swivel pro rod

holder, which gives you ample choice for your preferred fishing setup.

The two small storage hatches give access to the hull for storage of any extra material not in

use, as does the rear storage area with bungee baggage netting. If you feel you need to add

more, you can always get creative and order items from our fantastic list of fishing

accessories. That’s a good thing too as the Rider comes with a moulded motor bracket space

in the rear and ample space to add further supports and fixtures (see Railblaza).

Like all Galaxy Kayaks, the Rider comes fully equipped with a seat and a paddle so all you

need is a lifejacket, and you are ready for your next adventure!
