The 10 Best 2 Person Fishing Kayaks

If disaster strikes and you puncture the Sevylor Coleman Colorado (around $299), you'll be happy to know it has multiple sealed air chambers, so damaging one won't cause the whole boat to go under. Hopefully that won't be an issue, given that it has a tarpaulin bottom covered in nylon.

Like many sit-on-top models, the SunDolphin Bali (around $702) lets some water in, but it shouldn't be much of an issue on calm lakes. If there is any water left inside when you return to shore, draining it is as easy as opening the plugs on either end.

If you need to take a lot of gear with you on every expedition, the BKC UH-TK181 (around $787) is more than capable of handling all of it. In addition to the twin waterproof hatches in front of the seats, there's also an inset rear cargo area, where you can keep your tackle box.

You can be prepared for anything Mother Nature throws at you with the Driftsun Voyager (around $470). It has a pointed bow that can navigate both calm and rough waters with little trouble, and the detachable fin makes it extremely responsive, regardless of currents.

The Elkton Outdoors Comorant (about $550) is perfect for spur-of-the-moment trips to the lake, as it's compact enough when not inflated that you can keep it in your trunk all the time without sacrificing the ability to store anything else in there.

If you're just dipping your toe into the sport, the Bestway Lite Rapid X2 (around $75) makes a great starter model, as it's inexpensive and stable enough to handle any conditions worth fishing in. Just be aware that while it does have room for two, it only has a 350-lb weight capacity.

Taller anglers will appreciate the Ocean Kayak Malibu (about $594), as it has overlapping foot wells that enable you to stretch your legs and avoid feeling cramped. The person up front also has the ability to brace their feet, giving you support when you're reeling in a keeper.

You can keep a plethora of lines in the water with the BKC UH-TK219 (about $787), as it has six built-in rod holders. Four of them are flush-mounted while the other two are adjustable, giving you plenty of placement options in your search for The Big One.

The Sea Eagle SE370 Sport Pro (appx. $359) is one of the more versatile options around. It's designed for two users but can easily be adjusted to hold a third, as it's capable of supporting up to 650 pounds. Despite that, it's lightweight and easy for one person to carry unassisted.

No one will miss you when you're in the Vibe Yellowfin (appx. $1078), as the brightly mottled paint job adds a little flair to an otherwise buttoned-down watercraft. Hopefully the fish won't see you coming, though, as there's plenty of room inside to store your catch.
