Inflatable fishing kayaks are designed to carry more weight than standard recreational kayaks to accommodate fishing gear, coolers, and other equipment. The typical carrying capacity for inflatable fishing kayaks ranges from 300 to 750 pounds (135 to 340 kg), depending on the model and size:
- Single-person fishing kayaks: Usually support between 300 to 450 pounds (135 to 205 kg).
- Tandem or larger fishing kayaks: Can often carry 500 to 750 pounds (225 to 340 kg) or more, depending on the model.
These kayaks often have reinforced material to handle the extra weight and offer more storage space for fishing gear, coolers, and accessories. Be sure to check the specific model for exact load capacities.
