Take family outings and fishing trips to the next level with the BKC Brooklyn 12.5 Tandem 12′ 8″ Sit-On-Top Fishing Kayak. Designed to fit two adults plus a child or three smaller paddlers, this durable HDPE tandem kayak delivers unbeatable stability, comfort, and fishing-ready functionality. Whether you’re exploring calm lakes, navigating rivers, or drifting along coastal bays, the Brooklyn 12.5 keeps everyone secure and engaged on the water.
Roto-Molded HDPE Hull & Unmatched Stability
Crafted from a single-piece roto-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the Brooklyn 12.5’s 12 ft 8 in length and 34″ beam provide a stable platform that resists tipping—even in choppy currents or windy conditions. UV-inhibitors built into the hull protect against sun damage, while the abrasion-resistant construction stands up to frequent beach launches and rocky shorelines.
The wide, flat-bottom design ensures straight-line tracking and a balanced ride. A hand-operated rudder system offers precise steering around docks, downriver turns, or crowded fishing spots, so you can concentrate on casting rather than course corrections.
Adjustable Padded Seats & Effortless Portability
Long days on the water are comfortable thanks to two ergonomic, padded seats with multiple recline and height-adjustment points. These seats provide excellent back support whether you’re sitting for a Sunday afternoon paddle or standing to cast in knee-deep water. A molded-in center seating nook accommodates a child or smaller paddler, making this kayak truly a 2-3 person vessel.
Despite its 68 lb hull weight, four integrated carry handles (bow, stern, and two side grips) allow two adults to lift and transport the kayak with ease. When three people share the load, overland portages become nearly effortless.
Fishing-Ready Layout & Ample Storage
The Brooklyn 12.5 is built for anglers who demand convenience and versatility:
- Six Built-In Rod Holders: Four flush-mounted rod holders and two adjustable, articulating rod holders let you troll multiple lines or stow rods securely during paddling.
- Dual Watertight Hatches: Two durable, sealed hatches—one beneath each main seat—keep valuables and electronics bone-dry.
- Front & Rear Cargo Areas: Generous bow and stern storage wells with heavy-duty bungee straps accommodate coolers, tackle boxes, camping gear, and even a 20 L cooler for extended outings.
- Paddle Parks & Cup Holders: Integrated paddle rests on both sides secure your paddles when you break for fishing, snacks, or photo ops. Built-in cup holders keep drinks close at hand.
- Under-Seat & Deck Scuppers: Under-seat storage compartments hide smaller items, while strategically placed scupper holes drain any water that splashes aboard, ensuring a dry ride.
Performance Specs & Load Capacity
Engineered for serious adventurers, the Brooklyn 12.5 can carry up to 595 lbs (including paddlers and gear) without sacrificing stability or tracking. The balanced length-to-width ratio allows for smooth paddling, even when fully loaded with two anglers, a cooler, and fishing equipment.
A low center of gravity permits you to stand and cast confidently, giving you a higher vantage point to sight fish or explore shallow flats. Whether you’re chasing bass in freshwater lakes or drifting along ocean bays, this kayak combines performance, comfort, and durability in one sleek package.
