What it is
Not just a boat. Your access to fishing grounds - anywhere
The Tactician was built for one reason: to get you onto water that's off-limits to everything else. The river with no ramp. The alpine lake with no road. The estuary you've watched from the bank for years. No trailer. No ramp. No registration. Just water - wherever you find it.
The catamaran hull and 350cm waterline give the Tactician a hull speed kayaks can't touch. Add an outboard and you're covering serious ground.
80 × 60 × 25 cm and 28 kg. It goes in your car boot, your motorhome locker, the back of a van. A kayak needs a roof rack - the Tactician just needs a boot.
Rated to 6hp on the reinforced transom. Put an electric motor on it for silence and all-day range. Or a petrol outboard and cover ground at speed.
Catamaran stability means you stand to cast, move freely, and net fish - even with two on board. A kayak demands you sit still.
Tactician vs Kayak
Why anglers switch from kayaks.
A kayak gets you paddling. The Tactician gets you fishing.
No ramp. No problem.01 · Portability
The water others can't reach. Yours.
Hard boats need a ramp, a trailer, and a tow vehicle. The Tactician needs none of that. Park. Unpack. Inflate. You're on the water in under ten minutes - on rivers, alpine lakes, and estuaries that hard boats will never touch.
It lives in your boot. Your motorhome. Your yacht's locker. Every trip becomes a fishing trip.
6hp rated transom02 · Motor capability
Put an outboard on it. Cover the whole lake.
The reinforced transom handles up to 6hp. That opens up water kayakers spend 40 minutes paddling to. An electric motor runs silent all day. A petrol outboard gets you across open water fast.
Oars are included - you don't need a motor to get going. Add one later when you're ready to push further.
Stand-up stability03 · Stability
Fish standing. Both of you. At the same time.
The catamaran hull puts buoyancy on the outside of the tubes - not under the hull. You get a platform stable enough to cast from, net from, and move around on, even with two adults on board.
No kayak lets you stand and fish with a mate without someone holding on.
Thermo-welded seams04 · Build quality
Built to last
Valmex® by Mehler Germany is the same fabric used in commercial and military inflatables. UV-resistant, stays supple after years of folding, and genuinely long-lasting. Boats built from this material 20 years ago are still in regular use.
Seams are thermo-welded - not glued. The bond is permanent and stronger than the fabric around it.
Testimonials
Easiest boat I have ever bought and staff were excellent and very helpful. Absolutely no problem purchasing and better than anything I could buy locally.
— Grant Golombick
We needed a boat we could keep in the back of the campervan and use when required. It performs well for the two of us. A lot of fish landed from it.
— Herman & Dianne Badenhorst
I have owned a Tactician for 4 years now. Caught fish at sea through to trout in a lake. Packed hunting gear for camping trips. It flies with only one on board.
— Gordon Wright
Great light weight stable quick to set up boat. Ideal for lakes and estuaries trout fishing. Exactly what I was looking for.
— Anthony Hawes
How it works
Bag to water.
Four steps.
No tools. No ramp. Most customers are fishing in under ten minutes from pulling into a car park.
STEP 01
Boot of the car. Motorhome locker. Back of a van. No trailer, no roof rack.
STEP 02
Lay it flat. Slide in the floor. No tools, no bolts. Two minutes.
STEP 03
Hand pump included. Five to eight minutes and it's rigid. Everything locks automatically.
STEP 04
Water nobody else can reach. Pack up in under 10 minutes when you're done.
Motor options
Three ways to move. Your choice.
The Tactician works with whatever propulsion suits your water. Every boat ships with oars - add a motor when you're ready.
The smart choice for fishing. Near-silent. Zero fumes. All-day range on a charge. ePropulsion,Torqeedo, and Momentum pair well. Fish without spooking a thing.
Covers ground fast across large lakes. Plane with a 5-6hp (short shaft).Still light enough to carry, powerful enough to get there quickly.
Every Tactician ships with a 2-piece aluminium oar set. Good for calm water and getting on the water the day your boat arrives.
Motor sizing tip: The Tactician is efficient - you don't need to go big. Even a 1hp pushes the Tactician! If you wish to plane - go for 4-6hp.

Before you ask
Everything answered.
Every common question, answered fully - so you can buy with confidence.
Boat, AirDeck floor, aluminium seat, 2-piece aluminium oar set, boat bags, Bravo hand pump, and repair kit. Everything you need to get on the water is in the box. No extras required to launch.
Under 10 minutes for most customers. Lay flat, insert the floor, inflate. No tools, no bolts. Pack it away in under 10 minutes too.
Yes. Packed size is 80 × 60 × 25 cm and weighs 28 kg. Fits in most estate and SUV boots, a van, a motorhome storage bay, or a yacht's forward locker.
Yes - both of you. The catamaran hull concentrates buoyancy at the outer edges, creating genuine stand-up stability. Two adults can move around simultaneously without worrying about tipping. Compare that to traditional kayak fishing!
Customers regularly use the Tactician in estuaries, coastal bays, and open water. For rough open-sea conditions, exercise good judgement. Anything a fishing kayak can do, the True Kit Tactician can do better. The boat maintains buoyancy even in a full swamping situation.
Valmex® by Mehler Germany is the same material used in commercial and military inflatables. It's not fragile! A repair kit is included. We do recommend to net your fish when landing them and placing them straight into a fish bin.
A 5-year global limited warranty on all new boats.
