Meet the founder

"A kayak that is simply ready to go."

For over 10 years, the goal wasn't just to build another kayak. It was to eliminate the complexity of motorized fishing. No mounting brackets, no motor shafts, and no messy wiring. Just drop in your battery and launch.

Now that we are officially shipping, my commitment is total transparency. We don't take shortcuts, and we don't rush production. We invite you to see the engineering for yourself.

Our story

From the deep sea to your local creek

Three generations of the same idea: put a jet where a propeller can't go.

1Our origins

Submersible robots

More than 20 years ago, we started as a small team of engineers building submersible robots for deep-sea exploration and industrial applications.

2The evolution

Jet-propelled boards

As our skills and ambitions grew, we moved from the depths to the surface, creating jet-propelled boards. We merged our expertise in robotics with the thrill of water sports.

3The revolution

The electric jet kayak

The FluxJet Kayak solves several critical problems:

  • No prop to foul: The drive sits flush inside the hull. In heavy weeds, reverse helps clear the intake.
  • No running aground: No external prop strike.
  • No line tangles: Fully flush and integrated jet.
  • No setup delays: Plug in and go.

Real-world performance

Tested in creeks, rapids and weeds

The FluxJet Kayak has been tested in shallow creeks, rapids, and heavy weed cover. Independent reviewers have confirmed the jet drive's ability to navigate debris-filled waters without snags or tangles.
