Alboran FX3 + C-TUG + NRS

The Galaxy Alboran FX3 is a new-generation premium pedal kayak, named the best fishing kayak of 2025 in its category by The Paddle Sports Show. This Galaxy Kayaks flagship is made for beginners and professional anglers alike who value innovation, comfort and the most advanced technology. The model lets you choose from three ways to propel it: the Ultraline flipper drive for next-generation efficiency, the Cyclone pedal system for dependable propulsion, or traditional paddling for relaxed cruising. Thanks to the 408 cm long hull and innovative solutions, the Alboran FX3 suits any fishing style, from jigging to trolling or live bait fishing.

Key features

✓ Ultraline flipper drive or Cyclone pedals: choose the next-generation flipper system that mimics a diver's fin and gives quiet, efficient movement, or the dependable Cyclone pedal system with a propeller. Both options let you fish with your hands free

✓ Center hatch with a live bait well: a unique wet/dry setup lets you keep live bait fresh with water or use it as a sealed storage box for gear, for maximum flexibility

✓ Torqeedo-ready hull: integrated mounts at the rear let you fit a Torqeedo electric motor with no extra modifications, giving you three ways to propel it (flipper/pedals + motor + paddles)

✓ Professional fishing infrastructure: 4 universal rails (2 at the front, 2 at the rear), Railblaza StarPort mounts, 2 flush-mount rod holders and a transducer compartment allow maximum customization

✓ Wood-grain EVA mats: a stylish design and a non-slip surface for stand-up fishing, adding comfort and good looks

Design and stability

The Galaxy Alboran FX3 stands out with its 408 cm long, 81 cm wide hull, which gives an excellent combination of stability and speed. The longer hull lets the kayak glide through the water more easily, reduce drag and reach higher speed whether you use the Ultraline flipper drive, the Cyclone pedals or a Torqeedo electric motor. The 81 cm width gives you stability for stand-up fishing even in sea waves.

The Ultraline flipper drive imitates the movement of a diver's fin: quieter than traditional pedals with a propeller (you scare fewer fish), more efficient use of energy, less drag in the water, and easy handling even in weeds, because the flipper doesn't snag on aquatic plants. The Cyclone pedal system (the alternative choice) gives dependable, proven propulsion with a 1:10.5 gear ratio and a 29.8 cm propeller.

Center hatch with a live bait well: in the wet setup, fill it with water and keep live bait fresh for several hours; in the dry setup, use it as an airtight storage box for gear, food or electronics.

Maximum load and weight recommendations

The maximum load under the CE certificate is 238 kg. The base kayak weight with the seat is 47.6 kg. Optimal performance comes at a total load of 140 to 190 kg (user + gear). That is the green zone, where the flipper or Cyclone pedals work most efficiently and stability for stand-up fishing is best. The recommended maximum user weight is up to 115 kg.
