Blackwater Sturgeon 130 Inflatable Fishing Kayak – Stable, Gear-Ready & Adventure-Proven
The Blackwater Sturgeon 130 is a long, stable inflatable fishing kayak built for anglers who want real deck space, real capacity, and real comfort—without needing roof racks or a big garage. At 13 feet long and 36 inches wide, it delivers excellent glide and tracking for long approaches, while the wide, buoyant hull offers a rock-solid platform for casting, fighting fish, and working shorelines.
A high-pressure drop-stitch floor and welded PVC construction give the Sturgeon 130 a rigid, confidence-inspiring feel that’s much closer to a hardshell than a typical inflatable. Add in tons of deck space and rigging options, and you’ve got a fishing kayak that’s equally at home on big reservoirs, northern lakes, or easy-moving rivers.
Fishing-Focused Layout with Touring Performance
The Sturgeon 130’s long waterline provides smooth, efficient paddling when you’re covering distance to the next drop, while its generous width and large side tubes keep things stable when you’re casting, reaching for tackle, or leaning into a fish. A removable tracking fin helps you stay on line in breeze and light chop, making long drifts and trolling runs more controlled.
Multiple floor mounts and abundant open deck space make it easy to rig with rod holders, camera mounts, fish finders, or an anchor system. Paired with bow and stern bungee decks, you get plenty of room for a crate, cooler, dry bags, and tackle storage—without feeling cluttered.
Comfort, Storage & Easy All-Day Use
The Sturgeon 130 includes two inflatable seats and two adjustable footbraces, so you can configure it for a roomy solo fishing setup or bring a partner along for touring days. Mesh storage pockets keep tools, leaders, and snacks within easy reach, while the wide drop-stitch floor provides a clean, uncluttered deck that’s easy to move around on.
When the day’s over, the kayak deflates quickly and packs down for simple storage and transport—perfect for anglers in apartments, smaller vehicles, or anyone who doesn’t want to deal with a heavy hardshell fishing kayak.
