Shipping Damage Free Guarantee

It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.

Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.

Kayak Shipments

We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.

If we hand deliver it

Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.

If it ships LTL freight

Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.

What we cover

Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.

Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.

Defining versatility. Catch more fish, have more fun. Bonafide set out to make this hybrid standup and sitdown fishing kayak their best yet: a versatile fishing vessel that can take you from sight fishing on the marsh to paddling with the family on the lake.

The SKF117 is a one-of-a-kind hybrid craft bringing together performance and comfort at any skill level. The hull blends the stability and efficiency of a catamaran with the maneuverability of a traditional paddleboard. This salt flats skiff inspired design will take you from mangroves to lakes to rivers.

It runs a spring-loaded skeg system, HiRise seating, and molded-in under-seat storage, and it is Bonafide Sidekick compatible so the wheels can ride with the boat. Made in the USA.

Bonafide SKF117 Questions, Answered

Is this a kayak or a paddleboard?

Bonafide calls it a hybrid, and the hull is the reason. It blends the stability and efficiency of a catamaran with the maneuverability of a traditional paddleboard. You sit or stand, you paddle it like a kayak, and it drafts shallow like a skiff.

What is the 9.5" depth good for?

Skinny water. That is the shallowest profile in the Bonafide lineup, which is the point of a salt flats skiff inspired design. Mangroves, marsh and flats where a deeper hull runs out of water.

How stable is it really?

Bonafide rates it 10 out of 10 for stability and 10 for flat water, the same as the SS127. At 34.5" wide with a hybrid cat hull, standing and sight casting is what it was built around.

How do I get it to the water?

Two built-in options. It is Sidekick compatible, so the onboard wheel system mounts and rides with the boat, and it is also Tag A Long wheel compatible. At 78 lbs with the seat, one of those is worth having.

SKF117 or SS107?

Similar width and capacity. The SKF117 is a foot longer, much shallower at 9.5", and built around shallow saltwater and versatility. The SS107 is the compact stand-and-fish boat with a deeper 15.5" deck height. Skinny water points to the SKF, tight water and portability to the SS107.

What is the warranty?

Bonafide hulls carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original retail customer against manufacturing defects, plus a 5 year warranty against normal wear and tear. Components are warrantied for one year.

How does the Bonafide SKF117 ship?

Two ways. If you are inside our delivery area, local delivery shows up as a shipping option at checkout and we bring the boat to you ourselves. We call ahead to set a meet-up, and since we do the unloading there is nothing for you to inspect or sign at the curb. Otherwise it ships LTL freight with a carrier running a 99.9% damage-free rate. On a freight delivery, look the boat over before you sign the receipt and write down any damage you see. That one step protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours. We email the full details once your order is placed.
