The Vanhunks Sauger 12’ Tandem Fishing Kayak, is the ultimate vessel packed with features for an enjoyable day on the water. Equipped with two removable toolboxes, the Sauger offers unmatched adaptability, stability, and versatility, catering to families, friends, and recreational and professional fishers.
Quickly transform the kayak by removing the toolboxes and adding a fin drive or two, boosting speed and providing a hands-free experience for both adventurers. Alternatively, the Sauger is fully compatible with a propeller drive or Vanhunks E-box, offering multiple upgrade options in one kayak.
Built from durable 5mm polyethylene, the Sauger combines beauty and brawn, with excellent finishes and color. The double pontoon-shaped hull and swallowtail design prioritize stability and carrying capacity. Water flows effortlessly through the channels, enhancing traction and speed for delightful long trips. Steering is made easy with the hand-controlled rudder system, adjustable for either the front or rear paddler. The rudder system is compatible with the Bixpy motor, and brass inserts at the stern accommodate a side motor mount for a trolling motor.
Despite weighing 70.5 lbs (without the fin drive), the Sauger remains easily manageable with convenient carry handles on all sides for effortless lifting, loading, and transportation. Ample storage awaits on the Sauger, with lockable rectangular hatches in front of both seats for convenient access to the hull. Corded bungee areas at the bow and stern provide space for additional equipment.
Comfort is a priority during long trips, which is why the Sauger features a raised Deluxe Aluminium seat. The adjustable seating allows for reclining or upright positions, while the raised element ensures a dry seating experience. The molded-in high or low seating position allows for easy chair height adjustment, with the lower position ideal for choppy conditions and the elevated position providing a favorable view and added comfort.
The Vanhunks Sauger is designed to offer all the positive attributes needed for a fun-filled water adventure with a companion.
