Exploring the Bonafide RVR 119 Fishing Kayak
THE RVR: OUR MOST FEATURE-RICH KAYAK TO DATE
A fully-loaded bow:
As you move back from the bow, you’ll find our innovative Boss Strap rod and paddle stager. The grooves in the Boss Strap make it easy to organize your rod tips, and it’s raised just enough to slide your paddle blade underneath for quick, hassle-free storage. Directly below the Boss Strap is an access plate, providing easy entry into the hull for rigging lights, wiring, and mounting gear. A second access plate is conveniently located at the stern for similar rigging needs.
Triple Action Bow Strap:
A standout feature of the RVR119 is our all-new Triple Action Bow Strap, a game-changer in kayak fishing. This versatile strap serves three purposes: 1) It helps you pull the kayak with ease, 2) It quickly secures dry bags and gear boxes, and 3) It doubles as a rod organizer, making it simple to transport your fishing rods to and from the water.
An extremely stable (relatively dry) deck:
The RVR’s deck is engineered to drain water swiftly and efficiently, thanks to its backward slope leading to scupper holes. This design ensures water clears off quickly, minimizing the risk of instability from excess weight. With plenty of groove tracks for gear mounting and traction pads for secure, comfortable standing, this deck is built for serious performance.
Built to compete:
Dry Valuables and Room to Grow:
The RVR comes equipped with the popular Bonafide Dry Pod, offering a fully removable solution to house your entire fish finder system. Just mount your graph on top, secure the battery inside, and place the transducer below—it’s that easy. You can even remove the pod for safekeeping when leaving your kayak on a trailer. And if you’ve already rigged a Dry Pod from another Bonafide kayak, it’ll fit seamlessly here too!
Flexibility & Comfort:
Bonafide has added durable SS foot braces, made from aluminum, which can be locked or unlocked for that perfect fit every time. If you plan to add a stern-mounted motor, our Steering Kit accessory pairs with the dual-action foot braces, giving you smooth, responsive foot-controlled steering.
We mean EXTREME Flexibility:
Along the kayak’s gunnel, Bonafide added inserts for the quick mounting of YakAttack RotoGrip or LockNLoad Track Base, giving you endless customization options.
Right behind the stern tank well, you’ll spot four pad eyes (two on each side), perfect for securing extra bungees—ideal for long or overnight trips on the water.
At the rear of the deck, you’ll find inserts designed for attaching our RVR Stern Mounting Plate, making it easy to install a stern electric motor over the anchor system.
EXTREME Comfort:
Let’s talk about the seat. Hand-sewn in our North Carolina factory, it’s not only extremely comfortable but also adjustable by 4 inches forward or back, allowing you to customize the RVR to fit your size perfectly. Beneath the seat, there’s ample storage space, with grooved slots to rest your rod butts for easy transport or secure stowing during rough waters, especially when paired with the Triple Action Bow Strap.
Located just to the right of the seat is the skeg control handle. With a simple twist, you can engage or disengage the skeg, which automatically retracts when encountering obstacles like rocks or trees, thanks to its integrated spring system
EXTREME Flexibility:
Right behind the seat, you’ll find a dedicated motor battery mounting area with multiple secure options to keep it locked in place on the kayak deck. On either side of this storage space, groove tracks are ready for your accessories or the Bonafide Sidekick Wheel System.
The RVR’s stern deck is designed specifically to accommodate the YakAttack BlackPak Pro system, with perfect fits for all sizes (13” x 13”, 13” x 16”, and 16” x 16”). Equipped with OmniHooks, the bungee system makes it effortless to secure the BlackPak to your RVR.
