Lithuania is a paradise for water sports and fishing fans. 3 000+ lakes, dozens of rivers, the Curonian Lagoon: every water calls for a different kayak. In this article we compare two manufacturers: NuCanoe<\/strong> (JAV) ir Galaxy Kayaks<\/strong> (Spain). Both are sold in Lithuania through VAKA Sport, but they are made for very different anglers. The Galaxy Kayaks line includes both traditional paddle kayaks and premium pedal kayaks.<\/p>\n\n

How did we choose the models?<\/h2>\n

All models are sit on top kayaks designed specifically for fishing. We compare them on stability, customisation options, propulsion and suitability for different waters. Prices are not used in the comparison.<\/p>\n\n

The models in detail<\/h2>\n\n

NuCanoe Unlimited Max: a fishing platform<\/h3>\n

The Unlimited Max is the largest boat in the NuCanoe line, and its 107 cm width makes it the most stable in the sit on top class. It is designed for stand up fishing: you can stand, move around the deck and cast in any direction without worrying about capsizing.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Integrated SternPod and battery holder systems
\u2714 Ready for an electric motor, up to 3 hp
\u2714 The largest deck area in the NuCanoe line
\u2714 Plug & Play: paddle holders, rod holders, fish finder brackets<\/p>\n

Suits:<\/strong> experienced anglers, stand up fishing, lakes and lagoons.<\/p>\n\n

NuCanoe Unlimited: as wide as a platform<\/h3>\n

104 cm wide: this is not so much a kayak as a floating fishing platform. Standing on the Unlimited feels like standing on a deck. You can fit an electric motor of up to 3 hp. Popular with hunters in wetlands and stand up fishing enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Incredible stability: standing up, you forget you are in a kayak
\u2714 Motor friendly: integrated motor mount position
\u2714 Roomy deck with lots of space for gear
\u2718 Weighs about 40 kg, so you need a trolley or a trailer<\/p>\n

Suits:<\/strong> anglers who fish standing up and want a motor and maximum stability.<\/p>\n\n

NuCanoe Flint: light and nimble<\/h3>\n

The Flint is NuCanoe's answer for those who value low weight and manoeuvrability. At 27 kg you can lift it on your own and get it to the water without a trailer. Its 305 cm length makes it easy to manoeuvre on rivers, narrow channels and lakes with snags.<\/p>\n

\u2714 The lightest in the NuCanoe line at 27 kg
\u2714 Manoeuvrable, good for rivers and narrow waters
\u2714 Still made for fishing: gear mounting points
\u2718 Narrower than the Unlimited: stable, but not for standing<\/p>\n

Suits:<\/strong> anglers on river trips and mixed water routes.<\/p>\n\n

Galaxy Alboran FX: a great start<\/h3>\n

The Alboran FX is Galaxy's answer for those buying their first fishing kayak. An 80 cm width gives good stability, a roomy enough deck and calm handling. The HDPE plastic hull resists impacts and abrasion, is durable and needs almost no maintenance.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Stable and comfortable for beginners
\u2714 Compact, easier to transport than a NuCanoe
\u2714 Ready for rod holders and gear
\u2718 Not really suited to stand up fishing<\/p>\n

Suits:<\/strong> first time kayak buyers, lakes, family fishing.<\/p>\n\n

Galaxy Wildcat: speed and fishing together<\/h3>\n

The Wildcat is one of the most popular Galaxy kayaks in Lithuania. Its 85 cm width gives better stability than the Alboran, yet the Wildcat stays nimble and fast. It handles well both on calm lakes and near the sea.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Fast and stable at the same time
\u2714 Good fishing position with a low seat
\u2714 Suits fishing and active paddling
\u2718 Fewer customisation options than a NuCanoe<\/p>\n

Suits:<\/strong> active anglers who want both speed and stability.<\/p>\n\n

Galaxy Supernova FX: a premium pedal fishing kayak<\/h3>\n

The Supernova FX is in a different category: it is a pedal kayak<\/strong> with the Cyclone Pedal Drive system. The pedals move you forwards and backwards, while your hands stay free to cast, retrieve and work the fish finder. At 398 cm long and 86 cm wide, it is a big, stable and truly advanced kayak.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Cyclone Pedal Drive: forwards and backwards, completely hands free
\u2714 Compatible with a Torqeedo electric motor
\u2714 Three ways to move: pedals, motor, paddle
\u2714 Premium equipment out of the box: seat, rudder, pedal system
\u2718 The largest and heaviest in the Galaxy line<\/p>\n

Suits:<\/strong> experienced anglers who need their hands free and want cutting edge technology.<\/p>\n\n

Galaxy Supernova Jr: a compact pedal kayak<\/h3>\n

The Supernova Jr is the younger brother of the Supernova FX: the same Cyclone Pedal Drive philosophy in a more compact format. At 320 cm long and 84 cm wide it is easier to transport and handier in narrow waters, while keeping hands free fishing. The hand controlled rudder gives precise manoeuvrability.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Cyclone Pedal Drive: hands free fishing
\u2714 Rudder with hand control
\u2714 More compact than the FX, easier to transport
\u2714 Suits both narrow and more open waters
\u2718 Less deck space than the Supernova FX<\/p>\n

Suits:<\/strong> anglers who want a pedal kayak but fish a variety of waters.<\/p>\n\n

Which system is better?<\/h2>\n

NuCanoe<\/strong> : if fishing is a serious hobby or sport and you want a platform with maximum stability. The Unlimited and Unlimited Max are the best stand up fishing platforms. The Flint is ideal for river trips.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Alboran FX \/ Wildcat<\/strong> : if you are looking for a reliable paddle kayak without unnecessary complexity. A great first or second kayak.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Supernova FX \/ Jr<\/strong> : if you want a pedal kayak that leaves your hands completely free. This is the top class of Galaxy fishing kayaks, aimed at tech minded anglers.<\/p>\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

All these kayaks are sold through the VAKA Sport shop<\/a>. Each model is for a different angler and different waters. If you cannot decide, get in touch and we will help you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n

Safety on the water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always wear a life jacket when kayaking. For fishing we recommend NRS Chinook Fishing PFD<\/a> : it has pockets for tools and rod holder slots, so it does not get in the way when fishing.
