The two most-talked-about new fishing kayak launches of the current ICAST cycle approach motorization from completely different angles. The VoyaX Mossa 128 is a pedal-electric hybrid. It debuted on-water demos at the Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo in March 2026 and is announcing retail pricing at ICAST 2026 in July. The FluxJet is the world's first electric jet-powered fishing kayak. It won ICAST 2025 Best of Show and Best Boat or Watercraft. Both kayaks are well-engineered, but they do not compete head-to-head in the same use cases.
The 30-Second Verdict
Choose FluxJet if you want pure electric simplicity, zero pedaling, extreme shallow-water capability, and a lightweight hull that is easy to solo load. Because the motor is internal, it offers a 4-inch draft and true weedless capability.
Consider VoyaX Mossa 128 if you primarily fish deep, open water and actively want a pedaling option alongside your electric assist. It is the right choice if built-in SpotHold anchoring is mandatory for your fishing style.
Two Different Propulsion Philosophies
The VoyaX is a pedal kayak first. The propulsion philosophy is human-powered with electric assist. It features an integrated drive that lives below the kayak in the water column, which includes the pedaling mechanism, the electric motor, and the steering linkage.
The FluxJet is electric-only. There is no pedaling and no propeller. The propulsion system is a sealed impeller-based jet drive that pulls water through an intake under the hull and accelerates it out a directional nozzle. The kayak is purpose-built around that propulsion system rather than having a motor added below the hull.

Where the VoyaX Mossa 128 Wins
- Pedal-and-motor combo: If you want to alternate pedaling for exercise with a motor for transit, the VoyaX is built for that.
- Built-in SpotHold: It is the first pedal kayak with native GPS anchoring built into the drive. This holds position under wind and current without bolting on a separate trolling motor.
- Cable-free 360° steering: It offers unlimited rotation without physical stops.
- Backup propulsion: If the battery dies, you can pedal home.
Where the FluxJet Wins
- Shallow water: The FluxJet has a 4-inch draft. Because the VoyaX Mossa 128 has its drive extending into the water column, it cannot run in 4 inches without damage.
- Weed handling: The FluxJet has no exposed prop and no fins dragging in vegetation. The intake-and-impeller design clears with a reverse cycle rather than manual cleaning.
- Lighter total package: The FluxJet has an 88 lb hull weight and sits at 122 lbs fully rigged. Pedal-electric hybrids typically carry the weight of two propulsion systems, easily pushing them into a higher weight class.
- Variable Power & Ready-to-Fish Rigging: The FluxJet accepts variable battery setups from 12V up to max 60V, allowing you to heavily customize your range and weight. Plus, navigation lights are fully integrated out of the box.
- Easy Serviceability: Because the motor has been designed for easy disassembly and servicing, maintaining the brushless system and accessing the impeller is straightforward and owner-friendly.
- True throw-and-go: No pedaling means no fitness assumption. Anglers with knee, hip, or back issues can fish all day, alongside everyone else.
- Backup propulsion: The FluxJet is still a paddle kayak when it needs to be.
Honest Verdict: Pick the One That Fits Your Water
The FluxJet costs $3,499 plus shipping and tax. VoyaX Mossa 128 retail pricing will be announced at ICAST 2026. It is expected to sit in the premium pedal-drive band.
Anglers who want to pedal, want native spot-lock, and primarily fish open water in 12-plus inch depths may choose the VoyaX Mossa 128. It is highly innovative and solves real problems for that use case.
Anglers who want pure-electric simplicity, fish skinny water or weeds, want a lighter solo-load setup, or value the integrated single-platform package should pick the FluxJet. The 4-inch draft, weedless impeller, and 88 lb hull weight win the use cases the Mossa 128 is not designed for.
