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!

Milles milliards de milles sabords !!
J’ai longuement hésité entre l’achat d’un kayak gonflable et d’un classique. Certes le kayak gonflable est très simple à transporter, mais il a de nombreux défaut, comme la tenue sur l’eau, la rapidité, ou encore la dérive.
Il faut dire que j’ai craqué pour ce petit kayak qui est très bien équiper contrairement aux gonflables ! Le rider est vraiment très stable, assez rapide, tiens bien les vagues. Je l’utilise essentiellement en mer dans la bande des 300m, et franchement rien à dire.
Je recommande vivement l’achat du chariot de transport, parce que ça rend les choses beaucoup plus pratiques et simples pour le transport, malgré que le kayak soit très léger.
Franchement, pour le rapport qualité prix, il n’y a pas a hésiter.
![]() | Question: Bonjour, Il est "homologué pour mer" ? Immatriculé ? Cordialement |
Answer: Bonjour, Non, c'est une embarcation considérée comme engins de plage et donc limité à la bande des 300M Cdlt. | |
![]() | Question: Bonjour, y-a-t'il possibilité de mettre une sonde et un échosondeur sur ce kayak? |
Answer: Bonjour, Pour l'écran en général il est positionné sur la trappe. | |
![]() | Question: Peut-on changer le siège pour un plus confortable ? |
Answer: Absolument, vous pouvez opter pour le siège Tracker, qui à une assise plus épaisse et vous apportera plus de confort. | |
![]() | Question: Bonjour J’aimerais savoir quand je sort en mer avec mon kayak rider hv faut il retirer les bouchons ? Merci |
Answer: Bonjour, | |
![]() | Question: Bonjour, j'hésite entre le rider et le Cruz,, hormis les accessoires ( ligne de vie et porte cannes) en plus grand nombre , le modèle est le même ? |
Answer: Bjr,
Les coques ont exactement les mêmes dimensions.
Le Cruz est pré équipé d’inserts en laiton qui permettent d’installer les stars ports RAILBLAZA, ces star-ports vous permettront d’adapter à votre kayak la gamme RAILBLAZA proposée sur notre site. La trappe ronde du Cruz est d’un diamètre + important et est fermée contrairement au Rider qui donne accès à l’intérieur de la coque, la boîte compartimentée fournie avec les 2 modèles est logiquement plus importante sur le Cruz. Bref, si vous voulez équiper votre kayak d’un sondeur ou d’autres accessoires + techniques, optez pour le Cruz, vous gagnerez en facilité et propreté d’installation, l’accessoirisation technique d’un Rider reste possible, mais il vous faut être un peu bricoleur. | |
