Nucanoe Unlimited MAX (U-MAX) Fishing Kayak
AVAILABLE MID-LATE JANUARY 2026.
The NuCanoe Unlimited MAX (U-MAX): Maximum Power, Zero Compromise
MAX Speed, MAX Stability, MAX Space, MAX Features, MAX Power, and MAX Performance
The U-MAX is the evolution of the legendary Unlimited platform, purpose-built for serious anglers and hunters who operate on expansive, open water.
While featuring a noticeably expanded deck and upgraded components, the U-MAX maintains a surprisingly similar footprint to the original Unlimited. This means it offers familiar handling with a dramatically elevated capability.
Key Upgrades for Peak Performance:
-
Rugged, Premium Feel: Every detail, from the new Bow Handle Plate and HD Access Plate to the burly SternPod and redesigned latches, has been reinforced from bow to stern.
-
Massive, Customizable Deck: The stand-out feature is the wide-open deck, providing unparalleled space for rigging electronics, gear, and heavy motor systems without crowding.
-
Endless Configurations: Ready for competitive fishing, waterfowl hunting, or tandem adventures, this platform adapts to your exact needs.
-
Performance Scupper System: Elevates style, enhances drainage, and delivers an attention-grabbing, aggressive aesthetic built for serious use.
Unmatched Specs & Stability
With a 750-lb capacity (500 lbs self-bailing rating), the U-MAX easily handles heavy loads, solo, tandem, or with extra gear.
-
Rock-Solid Stability: Its 13'6" length and 42" beam create a stable platform perfect for standing, casting, or challenging conditions.
-
Powerhouse Motorization: Rated for up to 5 HP or 100 lb thrust, it’s built for covering long distances and navigating tough waters.
-
Manageable Weight: At 100 lbs (hull) / 115 lbs (fully fitted), it offers a balance of size and strength, delivering the confidence you demand from a flagship model.
