Arrived in perfect condition, ordered the 2025 model which came with foot steering cables already routed and foot pegs on a sliding track. I brought it out in the ocean on the first day and had an absolute blast. Extremely stable. Now to save up for an NK300 to slap on the back.

Kayak came in a timely manner it did have a couple scratches from shipping which wasn’t from eco fishing but I called them up and within a few days they sent me a keel guard and stuff to fill in the area they are very helpful and nice and I wouldn’t recommend any one else for my kayaking needs haven’t gotten the chance to take my yak out but I am tomorrow but I couldn’t be any happier with my purchase and I’m sure if I have any problems it will be handled right if I ever buy another kayak I won’t go nowhere else

It is absolutely needed in order to have a place to store gear. Otherwise, there's nowhere in the kayak that will work. With that being said, if I spend $1700 on a kayak, this should come with it at no extra charge. Not an add on option but part of the kayak purchase every time. An extra $200 for a part that should be no more than $50-$75 is outrageous! Others mention it not being secure, I dont agree. It feels very secure once you tighten it down. I have the battery for my fish finder and lights mounted inside it and have no issues. I ran a yakpower system in it for all my power aside for the trolling motor and its a slick design.

Love my big fish kayak. Arrived without a scratch and easy to assemble. Shipping was a little slow but always updated on where it was at. Only complaint I have (and not to bad)is the pro drive pedal system is a little noisy and cumbersome to lift to get weeds out but not terrible. Customer service is a+ also!!

I have taken out my U10 3 times now since receiving it just before Memorial Day and all I can say is wow!!! I have been inshore kayak fishing for about 8 years now and after having the wrong kayak for those 8 years, it was finally time to upgrade. I did extensive research before deciding on the U10. As a matter of fact, I even called NuCanoe and got reassurance from them that I would be very happy with the U10 for my needs. My access to the bay that I fish in involves navigating up and down a path through a dune so I cannot trailer it. The U10 allows me to easily load it into my truck and use a kayak cart to transport it to the water. The stability is amazing!! I am a guy in my early 50s that has suffered from some balance issues due to inner ear problems that have come up over the last few years and I am able to stand up with ease in this kayak and cast. On July 4th, I was able to easily handle catching a 6-8ft Black Tip shark and never once felt unstable while turning my seat side to side and spinning the kayak in circles while landing the fish. Paddling through inshore waters is no problem and any water that may get in the kayak, is quickly handled by the fantastically designed drainage system. Some people look at the design of the U10 and do not like it because it lacks built in storage. I happen to like having an open design so I can customize the kayak any way I want. Buy this kayak and you will NOT regret it.
Now getting to my experience with Eco Fishing Shop. They were very easy to deal with and immediately responsive when I had a slight issue with not receiving part of my order. Shipping was fast and care was taken with my kayak, so it was not damaged getting to me. Eco Fishing Shop is now my go to website for anything I need. I look forward to a long relationship with them! Overall, an outstanding product and an outstanding company/website to deal with!!!

It's a fishing machine

We bought two for our lakehouse, nice lightweight stable kayaks. They did not have them in stock at the store so I drove to Arkansas to pick them up at the warehouse, and assembled the pedals and rudder myself. Great for hands free fishing. We did have to adjust the rudders so they operated correctly. My kids used them over the holiday weekend and really liked them. I like being able to put in back of pickup for easy transport.

I gave up my rowboat, my sailboat and my sit in side kayak. I wanted to find a comfortable stable watercraft to get back on the Columbia River.
The Hobie PA 14 is it! Very comfortable. Very stable and with the Newport NK 180 Pro electric motor - very Lazy. It’s the perfect craft for me. Heck, I may even take up fishing.

Well,this thing is awsome! Second to none in stability and capacity! Absolutely love this thing! And customer service is the absolute best!

Long story short I don't have the space for a boat and a trailer, and inflation has been creeping up so much that it's a terrible time for me to finance a truck, trailer, a decent sized boat, and a house; as a young adult seeing my parents pain during '07-'08 crash was a life lesson learned. However I'm still determined to own a boat to go out fishing and to make memories with my wife and son, friends and extended family. This has led me down a rabbit hole of SIBs (basically inflatable boats). My biggest concern was durability and survivability. These new generation of SIBs has caught up to military standards with multiple air chambers, drop stitch flooring, Valmex/Hypalon vs mainland chinese PVC, heavy duty rubber hulls, thermo-welding versus glue, etc. (practically this wont sink). This skiff specifically is ridiculously stable that I can stand up and fish on, it will handle serious wind driven chop and it doesn’t flinch at boat wakes because of its catamaran design. It definitely would work well with even a weaker 55lb thrust trolling motor or you can use a shallow water anchor spike like I do when inshore and at the flats. The bottom hull of the boat is reinforced with thick heavy duty knurled rubber (it does add more weight compared to others however it well under 100lbs (like 77lbs dry weight to be exact). It has endured multiple sharp oyster beds and rocks that are prevalent down here in Florida, I dragged this across the sandy, shelly beaches and asphalt road. This skiff is rated for 10HP outboard but I use a 3HP Newport NT300 and I was able to go up to 6 knots. I love how agile and nimble this boat is and how I can reach those hard to reach places to fish.

Yes this SIB is expensive compared to others but what drew me to this brand and model was the fact that it was designed and manufactured in Italy (Italians are known for their excellent quality control and craftsmanship), materials made in Germany that are high quality, and rigorously tested and approved in the UK. I'm sure many of us here have been jaded by made in China products breaking down and or receiving a lemon non-functioning, faulty product. It's popular across the pond, and people there had a lot of time to use it, provide feedback to the manufacturer who then released the new generation a few years ago which Eco Fishing Shop sells.

Eventually down the line I would love to get a larger boat to go offshore to act as a mothership for this skiff. This skiff can be easily used as a dinghy because of its light weigh and of course to navigate and fish in 4-6" shallow waters like the flats where the majority offshore purpose boats can't.

It’s definitely a bigger Kayak but with the native side kick it’s totally manageable without a trailer I love the kayak it’s a beast in the water definitely not to hard to peddle and eco fishing shop did a great job of getting it to me in a timely manner

We bought the Morken for my 12 year old son. It was relatively easy for him to operate on our 5 day kayak trip. We traveled about 70 miles. He was required to haul his own gear for camping. During the trip, we had a day of class 1 and 2 rapids. The Morken did very good compared to my Jackson Knarr, but he did not have the same amount of gear loaded. The beaver tail rudder was amazing. The pdl was easy enough to take in and out, but was not able to lock in. We were able to make it work, but needed a more sustainable fix once we got back. If you are under 5 foot 6, you would have a difficult time reaching the pedals. The track system needed adapters to put accessories on it, which was not a big deal. The PDL was heavy for carrying when we hit the landings at the end of the day. Fora a mid grade kayak, it was amazing and my son absolutely loved. We spent about six hours a day on the water and he was very comfortable the whole time. I would purchase this kayak again.

Great kayak, paddles well and very stable. All my gear fits in it great and the open deck gives you lots of space.
