Defining Versatility
Whether you're seeking accessibility in the hard to reach mangroves hunting for snook or hitting the lake for an afternoon of paddling with the family, the SKF117 will be your secret weapon.

Our big open deck allows you to make the vessel your own. Beginner and avid anglers alike will love the versatile fishing setups, seamlessly transitioning between a traditional sit on top kayak for hunting bass to a push pole platform for chasing fish through shallows. Looking forward to a low-key day on the water? This one-of-a-kind vessel easily converts into a floating platform, making it the perfect companion for a lazy day taking in the sights or paddling with family and friends.

Jam-packed with features designed to give you the perfect vessel for any setting, the SKF117 is exactly what your summer is missing.

Boasting a low profile as a kayak and ultra stability like a Sup. The wide open deck is perfect for summer outings and the low profile keeps you out of the wind.


Where Comfort Meets Convenience
When you come to Bonafide, you expect the best, so we’ve packed the SKF117 with thoughtful features that deliver unmatched comfort and ultimate convenience.

For long days of kayaking, rest easy on our extremely popular HiRise Seating System, an innovative seating design that elevates your position for a more ergonomic, natural paddling posture and a better view. Translation? All day comfort for avid anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Our Boss Strap Paddle Management System allows you to quickly stow or retrieve your paddle without any hassle, and the seamlessly integrated underseat compartment ensures maximum storage capacity for all your gear.

With extra touches like cup holders, trays, carrying handles, and more, we've designed the SKF117 to give you the best kayak experience for a summer that can’t be beat.

Note: Capacity is determined by taking kayak weight + paddler weight + gear weight.
Bonafide determines capacity by where the performance of the kayak becomes very diminished.
