Whether lake fishing, river fishing, inshore or offshore fishing, the Bonafide RS117 “RISE Series” is truly an incredible fishing kayak, ready for all water environments.

The RS 117 offers a new standard for budget-conscious kayak anglers, providing them an affordable opportunity to RISE up into a premium, authentically designed fishing kayak that’s made in the USA!

With a Hybrid Catamaran hull (similar to our SS series), the RS117 is a very stand-able platform that offers an excellent balance of stability and paddling performance. Add in the top-notch deck layout with all day comfort and an “it just makes sense” array of features, and the RS117 is the perfect boat to get you out on the water, paddling and fishing, with friends and family!

The RS117 maintains a modest width of just 33.5 inches, with stability and tracking that outperforms many wider (and heavier) kayaks. The RS117 hull weight is just 65 lbs. 

Comfort and organization are key components of the RS117. The new Stadium Seat is light weight, easy to adjust, and has two seating positions, allowing all day comfort to make those long days on the water possible. From bow to stern, a wide array of features such as YakAttack MightyMount XL track, centralized storage pod, Shield Frontwell Cover with integrated Paddle Pouch, and forward transducer friendly scupper, make the RS117 one of the most fully featured values in kayak fishing.

Getting on the water is easier with the RS117. The oversized FatGrip Handles (bow and stern) are integrated to the hull in ergonomically friendly locations, making carrying comfortable and easy. Side handles assist in car topping and are also designed to help retain your paddle or fishing rod.

To top it off, the Bonafide Limited Lifetime Hull Warranty gives you peace of mind. It’s our promise to you that we stand behind each and every one of our products.

Whether you’re an experienced kayak angler looking for the next sit-on-top fishing kayak, or are just starting out, we want to be part of your next adventure.

Before you pull the trigger on that made in Thailand or made in China kayak, only to find out it's a dead end of disappointment...
Why not consider a quality USA made kayak like the RS117 that a fellow American has built with pride and earns a living on?

Testimonials

Many thanks to the nice folks at Oak Orchard Canoe and Kayak. The rudder mounting bracket on my 1999 Perception Sea Lion Eclipse finally decided it had had enough and cracked. I was panicking! Will I even be able to find a part for a boat this old? I called everywhere. I began searching online. Nothing. Not even on Ebay.

I was about to give up when I found Oak Orchard. I gave them a call and OMG they had the part! They shipped it out the nextm orning and I had it here on Cape Cod in a couple of days. Love my ol' kevlar Sea Lion. Was afraid I'd have to have a custom part made or something. But Oak Orchard folks came through for me big time. My wife and I are back out on the water again!

We love these sturdy new cockpit covers for our Walden Vista kayaka, more than 20 years old and as amazing as ever! It was a wise purchase!

Your website was easy to navigate and the covers came right away. Thank you!

P.S. Our granddaughter has suggested that a letter in a mailbox is a friendly way to communicate.

Easy online ordering, prompt shipment and delivery.

I had simultaneously ordered a pair of Malone Steeltop Crossbars to attach to the roof rails of my Subaru Impreza; assuming that the Malone bars would be identical to Thule square bars, I ordered the snap-around mounts for the gull wing.

Alas, the Malone bars were a fraction of an inch bigger and the clamps wouldn't fit - fortunately I was able to substitute my older Thule bars and clamp down the gull wings perfectly! They are ideal for carrying my 18' Stellar Surf Ski.

Josh was excellent in everything. Listened to my needs, courteous, helpful with advice and ideas to solve my problem. Could not have had a better salesperson. Product quality was excellent, but didn't work for me. I would definitely use this company again.
