Kayaks2Fish Online Store

i rate this the most unaustralian business of 2026, pedal systems do not work as advertised. False advertised sale, extremly bad coustomer service, been saving for a kayak and just before australia day i started looking, i came across kayaks 2 fish and read what they had to say and the reviews left, they had a sale running that offered 28% off,… Read more

and a 3 day countdown, which forced me into a impulse buy as i didnt want to miss the special, (might as well support an aussy businness i thought)....to find out they just do it over and over and over, do not believe their fake sales, i bought a 10.5 kayak marked down from 2500 to 1800, so apparently saved 700, then was quoted 300 for postage from kayaks to fish only to be called the next day and be told it would be an aditional 100, she was the rudest indian i have ever spoken to. a week later i emailed the businedd to ask where my kayak was as i had no email telling me it left the warehouse like they said they would, a [Name Removed] told me it would be delivered the next day, around comes the next day and nothing, so i emailed [Name Removed] again and he sent the exact same reply, and luckly it turned up the next day, in the back of a old kurtian truck, no tie downs, nothing..and delivered by indian guy who was rude as can be. he couldn't lift one end of the kayak off the rear ramp so he just dragged his end off, couldn't even be bothered to lower the ramp, if he knew how, backing into trees everywhere, then pulled out onto a roundabout going the wrong way.. i proceeded to assemble the kayak and check everything was delivered, to notice a lot of issues, every screw was loose and half stripped, the rail for rod holders etc are not flush with kayak, creating very weak connection points for anything added, the rudder cables are made from the thinnest rope ive ever seen, i thought it was tooth floss at first, the rod holder caps do not close and stay closed, there was a cut in the bottom from a grinder from durin the manafacture cleaning old plastic off kayak, almost completly through hull, major issues where the front hatch was so warped that even locked you could see inside the hatch, and the pedal drive system does not work as described, the kayak is no good in sallow waters as the fins onle get half the motion as they hit the hull where the pedal drive is inserted, design flaw, false advertising,, i emailed them to let them know about these two issues and they wanted pictures, so i sent them, then they told me to fix the front hatch to put it out in the sun, and the pedal drive is not working as it should, even know their website clearly states in terms and conditions that any changes to kayaks and parts are minor and will not affect the performance or use of the product as stated, which is a lie, so i said i dont want it as it is not something they describe and is no good in shallow water being the exact reason i got a kayak that was meant to have the fins flat against the hull like they say,, then i was told i will be charged 15% restocking fee for change of mind of purchase, plus postage on me, then i got a email from the head marketing offering me a job to open another warehouse in my area, saying i can easily add 150 on each kayak, all i need is a warehouse, so that sais it all, they do not care about quality, they do not care who sells their stuff, thats not australian do not support this company, just cheap chinese rubbish kayaks and extreme bad services, im out of pocket $1000 for a product that was falsly advertised, do not support this company, picture showing it hiting the hull, stopping motion, picture showing it its not touching the bottom of kayak at full pedal picture 3 shows the pedal drive in full motion, past 180 pic 4 shows the massive warp in the lid they told me to fix with the sun,

Kayak 2 Fish have excellent products. I have purchased 5 kayaks in total. Most recently the next gen 11.5. This kayak is an outstanding quality. The pedal system is solid and is a replica of the Hobie system so all parts are interchangeable. The kayak it self is stable, easy to load on my car and launch by myself. I’m a larger person 6’6 and… Read more ·  1

110kg. It’s more stable than my old hobie pro angler12. Also has great hull access hatches for storage or battery placement. No water coming into the hull when out for 6 hours at a time. I highly recommend any person looking at herring into kayak fishing have a look at these kayaks. With a large range and various sizes it’s a one stop shop for all the family. Large range of accessories online also with great delivery service. The local warehouse has a great service with fantastic knowledge of all the products and a great customer focus. All in all I will be coming back for accessories and future kayaks as I upgrade.

Nextgen 11.5 – Love my new nextgen 11.5 very comfortable and very stable love the pedal drive much better than paddling and love how many options there are for accessories and options for motor mounting. Very very nice kayaks for the price would definitely recommend Show reply

AVOID NEXTGEN11.5 AT ALL COST (MUST READ) – Right I am beyond disappointed with this company. I brought a next gen 11.5 pedal kayak I got it on 18Feb23 and I have already gone through 2 kayaks, that is a kayak a year. have had issue after issue with them. My first kayak leaked heavily from the very start of me owning it. The rudder system was NOT SEALED PROPERLY AT ALL!!! The amount of… Read more

water I would take on was crazy literal litres of water. When I notified the warranty compartment they were straight up useless even when shown the evidence and videos of me tipping out litres of water after only a couple hour fish. I was told there was no leak and that I was full of it. I went down to the wearhouse in Melbourne since I was getting absolutely no where with with higher ups in the company, the guys at the wearhouse were the only useful people I spoke to the entire time. I eventually got a replacement kayak after 2 months of going in circles. The replacement kayak was good at first and I didn't have any issues to begin with only a few months in and my rails started falling off. The screws used aren't realistically suitable for the rails and wear them out relatively quickly. a few more months go by and steering ropes for the rudder snap while fishing and I'm left struggling in the wind trying to get back to shore to fix the issue. The ropes have snapped 3 times on me even with me replacing the rope it still happens I eventually went to a thicker rope and that fixes the issue. The biggest issue I've got now is that the body is starting crack all over and is just about unusable. I am a tournament angler finishing 2nd in my state last season for yakhunters. This season has basically already screeched to a halt and it has only just started since I found those cracks MID COMPETITION as a TOURNAMENT ANGLER the longevity is straight up garbage and straight up unacceptable. I have paid good money for this kayak trying to support an Australian business and it is disappointing. I should be getting much longer than a year out of a kayak. I have had many kayaks before but none as terrible longevity wise as this, which is extremely disappointing because the kayak it's self was actually nice to use apart from the issues stated above. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THESE KAYAKS if you are a serious fisherman like myself stay away from these, they are nothing but headaches. SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE

Next Gen 10 MK11 – After placing a order for the Next Gen 10 MK2. The process was seamless. Communication was excellent before & after the sale. The Kayak is everything as stated, great stability, the quality is excellent. Great value for money. Extremely happy with my purchase from Kayaks2fish. I definitely would recommend from my experience. Show reply

A+ in every aspect – From start to finish I can not fault these guys and their products. I was trying to figure out what kayak would be best for my needs and sent quite a few queries before deciding. The customer support was always friendly and prompt, giving me the advise I much needed. Ordering was a breeze and they shipped everything to my home down near the… Read more ·  1

Great Ocean Road in Victoria.

The delivery mob they go through was also excellent, keeping me updated on its arrival. Good choice of courier service.

After I received my items including the kayak which was wrapped in a mountain of bubble wrap and a blanket for safe transportation I had a few more questions on setup.

They even took the time to respond even though I had received the item.

Couldn't recommend enough if you're in the market for a kayak or accessories.

Cheap product, everything rusts or breaks quickly. Poor customer service – Poor customer service. Poor quality materials. Unrealistically short warranty period. Trolleys are barely rated to carry the kayaks they’re sold for. The first “heavy duty” trolley broke within a month. They sent a different style which broke a year later. Light alum welds gave way, they won’t repair and now the part is junk and they want me to… Read more

buy the same part again. They’re cheap kayaks for a reason. Buy second hand, expect a year out of it tops, and take to the tip when you can afford a better quality one. Or better yet. Don’t buy and get better quality.

Kayak2Fish Experience – Kayaks2fish were easy and transparent during the entire purchasing process. The store-man in Campbellfield office was a great guy and gave me some pointers. I took my new next gen 11 out and it is everything as advertised. Show reply

Next gen 10 mk2 – Bought the next gen 10 mk2. Been out in Port Phillip Bay and so happy with it. Great features, stable, looks awesome and I'm catching heaps of fish! Great help over the phone when deciding on model and accessories, then nice bloke at pick up gave plenty of advice to a newbie. Highly recommend!

Concerns Over Product Suitability and Customer Service – After purchasing an electric motor from Kayaks2Fish, which was advertised as durable and suitable for saltwater conditions, I encountered significant issues that I believe highlight concerns regarding the product's fitness for its intended use. Despite the motor being promoted as resistant to the conditions typically found in water-based… Read more

activities, it failed due to water ingress in areas that are practically impossible to keep dry during normal use.

Following the incident, I reached out to customer support for assistance. The response was that the damage was due to water exposure, which should have been avoided according to their guidelines — a challenging task given the nature of kayaking. The solution offered was a mere 15% discount on a replacement motor, not a refund or a full replacement, which I found inadequate under the circumstances.

The company insists on adhering strictly to its Terms and Conditions, which seem impractical for a product intended for use in water environments. My attempts to resolve this matter were met with repeated references to these terms, without adequate consideration of the practical application of the product or the Australian Consumer Law's consumer guarantees.

Prospective buyers should be wary of the practical limitations and customer service response described here. I am now considering the necessity of lodging a formal complaint with the Office of Fair Trading in Queensland to seek a fair resolution.

Excellent experience again K2F Port Adelaide – Just purchased my second Kayaks2Fish kayak and this time went for the Nexgen 10 Mk II to replace my Nexgen 11. This was a purchase I needed to make purely because the Nexgen 11 was proving more and more difficult to get up onto the roof rack of my 4WD vehicle. Love the Mk II it is lighter but appears better on the water, is a great product and… Read more ·  1

communication was perfect even though shipping was delayed by around three weeks but I was informing every step of the delays. Only been on the water once due to a leaking inflatable outrigger that I have asked for a warranty replacement. Kayak performs exceptionally well on the water
