FluxJet Kayaks won Best in Show at ICAST 2025 for creating the world's first electric jet-powered fishing kayak. Our patented jet drive system solves decades-old problems in kayak fishing by eliminating propellers and pedal drives that snag on debris and tangle fishing lines.
Since our debut at ICAST in Orlando, Florida, FluxJet has been featured in major fishing and outdoor publications for bringing jet propulsion technology to the kayak fishing market.
