The Raptor 9.5ft is a two-piece rotomolded fishing kayak with a hands-free fin pedal drive. It splits into two roughly 35 lb sections that fit in a hatchback, SUV or pickup bed and stand against a wall at home, so it suits apartment dwellers and anyone without a roof rack or a second pair of hands. The W-hull is stable enough for standing casts in calm to moderate water, and the 380 lb capacity covers angler, gear and catch. Against one-piece pedal kayaks it trades some hull length and glide for transport and storage; against inflatables it avoids the drying and setup routine. Owners rate it highly, with 4.9 out of 5 from 45 ratings.

Owners rate the Raptor very highly and focus on how easy it is to move and store. They confirm it fits in a Honda Odyssey, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Edge and is practical in a one-bedroom apartment.
The Raptor is a 9.5 ft modular fishing kayak that splits into two sections of about 35 lbs each. The sections carry like luggage, fit in the boot of a hatchback, SUV or pickup bed, and stand upright against a wall for storage. No roof rack is needed.
The hull is rotomolded polyethylene, the same material used in traditional rigid kayaks. The front and rear sections join with a modular clip system in about 5 minutes, with no tools or bolts. Each section is watertight, and the clips create a watertight seal when the sections are joined.
A fin drive pedal system keeps your hands free for casting, positioning and playing fish. The W-hull is designed for stability and allows standing casts in calm to moderate conditions. Standing is not recommended in heavy chop or swell.
