Viking Profish 400 – Lightweight Fishing Kayak (New Model)
$2,199.00
The Viking Profish 400 Lightweight Fishing Kayak is an agile watercraft with generous internal storage, side-scan transducer cavity, optional Tackle Pod™ Lite, and rudder/motor compatibility—built for fast launches and tight-structure fishing.
Viking Profish 400 – Lightweight Fishing Kayak (New Model) is the nimble, lightweight offshore/inshore machine that many anglers prefer over heavier rigs. Fast to launch, easy to car-top, and rock-solid around reefs and wash zones, the new plastic layup trims weight while keeping Viking’s legendary strength.
At 4.10 m long (13’5”) and 0.78 m wide (30.7”), with a capacity of 175 kg (386 lbs), the Profish 400 balances glide, stability, and storage for day missions or light expeditions. It’s quick through chop, surprisingly composed in wind thanks to the low-profile bow, and brilliantly agile when you’re working tight structure.

Surf, wind & real-world performance
Beach launches are absolutely doable: the Viking Profish 400 Lightweight Fishing Kayak accelerates fast to punch out through the surf, and its fast-draining scuppers clear deck water quickly. Expect a wetter outbound in steep sets due to the low bow, but enjoy a very fast, controlled return on the way back in. In wind, that same low-profile bow helps reduce weathercocking compared to taller-nosed kayaks.
Electronics & rigging made easy
The Profish 400 accepts modern side-scan transducers with neat cable management. Pair the kayak with the Tackle Pod™ Lite (optional) to house battery, sounder and tackle: pre-load the night before and you’re on the water in minutes.
Generous storage & rigging options
A large rear tankwell with bungee system provides room for Chill Pod, bait tanks, or Viking Insulated Fish Bag. The bow hatch adds more expedition storage, while in-hull access points keep gear dry and secure. With 6 flush-mounted rod holders and multiple Railblaza-ready StarPorts, you can customise your setup for trolling, live bait, or fly fishing.

Motor and rudder options
Add the Viking Rudder Kit for finer tracking and cross-wind control. The stern layout also allows integration of compact electric motors (e.g., Bixpy, Asiwo, Newport, Minn Kota, Watersnake) with suitable adapters—ideal when you want extra range without losing the kayak’s lightweight advantage.

❓FAQs
The Profish 400 is essentially the lighter, more maneuverable version of the Reload. Think of it as a hybrid: agile and responsive for inshore use, yet still capable offshore. It’s easier to car-top, requires virtually zero maintenance, and offers vibrant new plastic colors with the same trusted Viking build quality. Thanks to its modular design, upgrades are simple, and you can even add an extra rear seat for taking your child out on calm waters.
The new Profish 400 brings significant upgrades:
A large front oval hatch replaces the smaller 6-inch round hatch, creating huge storage capacity for trolleys, camping gear, and more.
A redesigned lifted and sharper bow, similar to the Reload, improves handling in choppy water and surf.
Moulded side handles make lifting and carrying much easier.
A larger transducer cavity allows installation of today’s bigger fish-finding technology.
Not at all. While designed with anglers in mind, the Profish 400 is a true hybrid kayak. Its mix of stability, maneuverability, comfort, and storage makes it just as perfect for fitness paddling, coastal adventures, camping trips, or simply enjoying time on the water. If fishing isn’t your thing, the 400 still delivers a smooth, reliable, and versatile ride — a premium sit-on-top kayak for anyone who values performance and quality.
Yes – it is Rudder Ready and compatible with the Viking Rudder Kit.
The Profish 400 can be powered by electric jet motors fitted on the rudder, such as Bixpy or Asiwo U1. Alternatively, you can install other electric motors using a transom-mounted bracket, giving you the flexibility to choose the setup that best suits your style of adventure.
