- It's hard to describe how quick and agile AND stable this thing is. If I still had my kayak rental place, I'd say,' Come by and give it a try!' Alas! You'll just have to take my word for it. The Getaway is a proformer with a lot of potential whether you want to fish or just get out on the water. I like that it's lightweight and that it's so affordable compared to other peddle style kayaks. Here are the links so you can check it out for yourself...

Awesome addition. Pelican is the real deal. Thanks for the video Marty
Marty’s opinion is everything in this world. I appreciate the video
I recently ordered an Argo 12 footer, and I can't wait to get out on the lakes - I actually found your videos while researching the kayak.
Greetings from Denmark!
Pelican makes quality stuff at a fair price..
I've got 2 and am very pleased with them..
And its great to see you representing them Marty...
👋😎👍
I learned really quickly how much easier a pedal kayak is for fishing over a traditional paddle. My next kayak will definitely be one for sure. Great video as always Marty. 👍🏻😎
Thanks for the awesome vid like always!
Also thank you Marty for leaving a Canadian link as well 😊
Here in Wisconsin, just before Memorial Day, Kayaks were hard to find. I did find three. Thanks to this channel, we now also kayak fish along with our other adventures.
I got interested in kayak fishing after running across your videos, bought a Pelican Catch 100 because of your videos, absolutely love that thing. Customized it with items I made from home processed plastic, inspired by your videos. Bought a second Pelican kayak, because I loved the first, having been introduced to the brand by your videos, and have 3 kids who I wanted to be able to enjoy kayaking. My parents enjoyed mine so much they bought two Pelican sit insides, because the brand I discovered in your videos make an affordable very reliable and well thought out product. Having just watched your video, Now I want a Getaway Pelican Kayak! Then I would have access to one for each of my family member and we could adventure the water together. Anybody else sensing a trend here! I think Pelican has been good to you, but you’ve probably more than covered your share of returning the favor. Keep up the great work, enjoy the loop and don’t let us or others push you along it, if you need a different pace, that joy comes out in the end.
Thanks for sharing Marty, I too, because of you have seen the value, user friendly usability of the Pelican Kayaks. A+++++ for cost, value, and function
your narration along with editing in past footage is excellent
'cool kayak Marty
Thanks for the Canadian link Marty! Kinda looks like my next yak!
I have watched all your videos about this kayak and you were actually the one that helped me make the final decision to get this model. There is one mod that you can do to it that makes it actually an outstanding fishing kayak. That is the rudder. I took 1/2 inch refrigerator water line that I had lying around and fished 2 small ropes through it. I secured it right along the same line all the way up to where the rudder seats itself. I connected it to the rudder through the hole right along the channel where Pelican and Hobie would put their line. I attached two knobs to the other end and Voila up and down rudder controls with a pull of the rope. Good Luck on the rest of your endeavors and cant wait to see the next video.
I know you get thousands of comments but I hope you see this one..my mom is over 60 and I got her kayaking. She started cheap but she loves kayaking and wanted to upgrade. After checking out tons of kayak reviews she decided after your video this one is perfect for what she wants. We love your channel!!!! She gets her kayak delivered tomorrow and we are excited..thank you!!
I got my first pedal kayak last year, a Pelican because of you. Love it. Catch 110 HD
Comfy?
I watched your video and a few others. I purchased a getaway this morning. Thanks for your video.
Great looking pedal Drive. I love the weight and the fin drive system.
Just bought one of these. Can't wait to try it out.
Awesome video! Never saw the HyDryve pedal system in action.
Just got into kayaking this summer and just bought my second Pelican kayak, a sit on top. My first one is a 12 ft touring (the Escape 120x). Super impressed with the price / quality ratio.
Fun fact, I live about 20 minutes drive from Pelican's HQ. Every time I go to work I see the big kayaking murals on the plant's walls... get's me all stoked about going on the water.
Keep on having fun! Stay safe!
Great to see you enjoying your new Getaway - now go catch some fish! You are so right, being out on the water is magical!
Awesome new pelican to add to the family.
Im a BIG Pelican fan too, they seem to know how to prioritize features, materials, and weight to keep their boats not only affordable but also very effective.
Can't wait for the snow to go I have 2 getaways newly arrived, Thanks for helping with my decision on what to buy.
Thanks for the update.....that kayak looks cool. I have taken a look.....I may be fishing on the Potomac in the near future. :)
AND i bought a pelican because of your video's love em
Awesome! I’ve been eyeing the Catch 110, but hadn’t seen this one. Very cool and versatile.
I was not impressed until I saw how stable it was. What a surprise. The size and light weight is also very handy. I am still waiting for you to add a sail to your kayaks. The music you had with the opening drone shot was pretty cool.
Thanks for the information about my new Pelican.
Hey Marty, I copy and pasted the name of this Pelican kayak from your video title and checked it out, but while doing so I also heard your request to check it out using your link, so I did that, too. I like how you described the kind of company Pelican is and this is the kind of company that I want to support. I've been looking at different types of kayaks, but now I'm going to focus my search on the Pelican line of products. Thanks for the heads up.
I have been interested in a peddle type kayak but, they were out of the price range I was looking for. This one has an attractive price along with the features I want and I like the smaller size as well. Way to go Pelican! And, I like the blue color as well. Really nice looking boat.
Like the way you review! Great video!
Thanks for the review. Thank you!
Hi Marty greetings from Myrtle beach. I like the new paddle board/kayak. I wish they had that a few years so I wouldn’t have needed to modify other brands of paddle boards do to fit my fishing requirements. Wish I would have taken it for a spin when I saw you at MB. Sure beats sitting on a cooler…
I know getting in the water chilly and windy sucked..But you did it so i could have an accurate demonstration of the capabilities of that yak i appreciate it brother thank you
After watching your video last night, I went online and found it at a sale price…So I ordered one. I can’t wait for it to get here. Thank you, Marty for this video!
Where did you buy it from?
Cedar Creek Outdoor Center
Welcome to NC. Wish I was down there to meet up with you. But I am inland in NC right now. Cheers and safe voyage to come.
That's a pretty nice looking Kayak. I really like the color of it also.
I was just looking at one of these at REI. Super nice!
Just bought a Pelican Quest sit on angler. I think it goes by another name now. Light and easy to handle for me!
That yak is so nice you probably DON'T need to blowtorch or drill multiple holes! Glad to see you back
Interesting boat. I will definitely check it out through your link. Can’t wait to see what you do with it
New subscriber here from your interview with salt strong. I like your story.
Just saying, I supported Marty by visiting the pelican links & poking around, it is interesting & worthwhile. The least I can do for his informative entertainment, tossing one down in toast to the good place that he comes from!
Great update thanks Marty. Nice to see you fishing again too. Getaway 110 HDII looks good. Pelican need to check their website - they have it listed as 100 HDII! I was also trying to find the dimensions for the Bass raider 10E & Intruder 12 but none shown. Shame that more Pelican products are not available here in the UK, and those that are available are very expensive IE the Explorer 14.6 DLX (only Pelican product available locally) is $629.99 on Pelican's website, but $1106.93 here at current exchange rates. Nearly twice as much. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
I just love these kinds of videos.
There are electric drive rudders on boards. That'd be perfect on the Getaway.
Been catching up on your videos from back when you moved out of the brown house. Real genuine good guy. Subscribing to your channel.
Just looked at the site. Did not know Pelican made canoes... totally buying one!
Cool new ride!
Loved the video. I am approaching 70 and am an avid fisherman but hauling around boats and motors are becoming more difficult. The Pelican Getaway 110 HDII looks like the answer to my problems. It is more affordable for me so I am hoping next summer to save up and change my fishing and add a few more years of my favorite sport.
That thing looks great!
I just bought one. So psyched
Love Pelican kayaks. I have a Catch 110HD2 and two trailblazers. Sold my catch 120 when I got the catch 110. People love to hate, but I’ve had no problems and I’ve beat the crap out of one of my trailblazers.
No need for an intro. When you get a new yak & drill holes in it we know it’s you. That’s the Marty Z way. 😎
I’m right there with you Marty, pelican makes some great boats. Looking for one like this for my wife to use, she’s smaller then most and had her rotator cuff replaced last year so have PDL would make her time on the water easier.
Thanks
The coloring of the Pelican is really cool actually.
Youre a hit once again Zoffinger.
Who is that lady peeking on the boat though, I still want to know.
Awesome video thanks for sharing it
I'm a Hobie Girl, but this looks like a good alternative at a lower price point! Great review! Thank. you.
Love the new yak and the price 👌
great vid, happy with my Pelican getaway careful though the seat on mine split, contacted pelican and they sent me a new one super fast. You can also adjust the tension of the peddles easily by loosening the bolts, see vids on here
That's so cool! I was looking at the new hobie lynx and saw how crazy the price tag was. This is practically the same idea but MUCH cheaper. I love the simplicity of it. Have been considering some kind of peddle drive and this may be it
Same
Arggggg, availability!
hobie lynx, 3000 out the door....ouch
Love it Marty👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your videos! Let me know if you want to know some Kayak Fishing spots around Morehead City. On a boat rope is a raw material and called rope until it is attached to something. So when you attaches that rope to the bow it became a line that is also called a painter when on the bow or the stern. A lot of other lines have specific names to avoid confusion like rode for the anchor or haulyard for line line that hauls the sail up the mast and sheet for line that trims a sail. Specific names can help avoid confusion when you are in a situation that calls for fast action and want to communicate with your crew.
Looks almost exactly like the hobie lynx, which is cool
Cause taking hobies pedal system has helped them for
Sure in the market. Looks like a good boat
Wow you are near where I live, that awsome!
That is a badass kayak bro
Excellent video
Great video!
Nice, Pelican has it going on. If they made a bigger size with a stern mount for trolling motor, would be the bomb. Choice of peddle or electric motor, for us heavier guys. Thanks for this model introduction Marty. 73 Earnest K5EWM.
Looks extemely stable!
Hi Marty, Greetings from Miami. Thanks for sharing your journey. The Loop is on my bucket list. For those of us that would want to car-top the Getaway any chance you can give us the wight of the Kayak without the seat and pedal drive installed?
Try fishing behind Carolina beach yacht club. It’s the marina you see heading East out of snows cut, by the fuel dock. Always people fishing there. A friend of mine caught an 8lb flounder there Saturday. Just let me know when you’re there I’ll bring you a bud light
What do you do about Fishing License your traveling through different states . That was pretty easy for someone that is only 155 lb. versus my 300lb. I need to take my Jackson Big Rig out while we have Hot weather and practice getting back in from the water just I case I do fall in . Well I have the Pelican Bass Raider and LOVE IT with my size no problem .
I'm liking the price and 300lb capacity would work for me :) Now if I only can get back on the water I'd replace my current ride with this. Only thing is probably nobody would have it around me and shipping would be a couple hundred !
I’m very interested in this new type of kayak; please do more videos about it. I’d like to see if you can paddle while standing in really skinny water. I’d also like to see how fast it can go and how well it handles in choppy water.
@@skim4me lol show us video that it’s slow?😂😂😂
Go with an "Old Town Kayak" They have propellers, very fast and powerful. They've been building kayaks and canoes forever.
@@skim4me lol why did you delete your comment about pedal fin kayak as slow?😂😂😂
@@bahmak2003 because they're beyond slow..I got a prop driven one now, they incredibly fast...the only reason I was looking into Hobie, is because of the weed factor, but I've been going through weeds all morning with mine and it's not a problem at all, you just tilt the unit up and take off any weeds that stick to it. The blades chop the majority of them off automatically...😅✌️💚🙏
@@skim4me lol show me that they are slow?😂😂😂
Marty...can you tell me the weight without the paddle assembly. I have a 68 pound Hobie and I find it difficult to load . Also does the drive have a height adjustment? Fyi...I'm in my 60s and my Hobie passport is too heavy and the shape makes it very difficult to carry.
I guess that the Hobie patent ran out on that drive system. I have a Hobie and they work great. Now Hobie has a new one that will go any direction.
If you could do a full walk-through and stability test on this craft that would help me decide if I should get or not 🧐😁 also I wonder if you can cast standing up and cast while standing sideways?
I would love to see you trick out a perception outlaw 11.5
What size Paddle would I need for this kayak?? Can u recommend one?? Great Video
Picking one up in Montreal
Awesome! Does the 65lbs include the HDII drive and seat? Or what is the weight without the drive and seat?
I just picked up this boat on display because the small bungee’s were broken on the rudder. I remember seeing this video and looked back to see if I missed how you modified the rudder deployment. I was wondering if you had come up with a way to deploy it from the seat
Hey Marty. I bought a getaway from Dick's in Ocala. I haven't got it on the water yet. I've been wandering: how do you raise the rudder if you're seated on the boat. Do you have a hack for this? I'm a serious follower of yours. Keep up the good work.
I bought a pelican sit in for my first kayak.i saw it at Atwood's and thought that is what I need in those ponds I sneek into lol.i would drag it through the woods.i caught more fish in that thing and then ran into a guy that introduce me to the kayak world and tournament stuff. I won the first and 3 rd ones that I fished and got a big head.feelftee then hobie pa 12 the a blue sky but I haven't won a tournament since my pelican.in fact I just drug it out rite before watching this video
Nicccce.
I Have to admit that I was not initially impressed by the Pelican kayaks after examining a few at Walmart. I generally go for longer, solid fishing kayaks that are obviously more expensive. But my local Academy has a few Pelicans now that really get my attention. I generally just fish from them, so short and fat is fine. The Catch 100 looks really interesting. What's up with the two piece construction? They seem to have a hull and a deck that are glued together. Do they ever leak?
WOW! What a great boat! I am hitting the link now.
my pelican icon angler 10 ft has been great
This would be so great for my husband who has a bad shoulder and misses kayaking.
I went and checked out the link. The specs said max weight 300lbs. Is that 300 lbs of person and cargo, or is that 300 less the weight of the kayak itself. Either way that's pretty impressive. Btw I 'm the guy that stopped by and saw your new Getaway right after you picked it up, at the campground. Safe travels my friend!
Random question. Any suggestions on a coating for hull protection? Probably more of an issue for us landlocked folks, but I've tried the truck bed lining thing, etc. and it wears off pretty quickly. Not really meant to apply to poly/plastic. Looking for something for my Catch PWR 100 in particular.
Pretty cool.
The worst thing about canoes/kayaks when it comes to fishing is keeping your hands free. I've lost a couple of fishing rods by setting it down to grab an oar. I'm seriously considering purchasing this.
Wish i could get the ergo360 seats for my 2020 bass raider 10e
Do you think you could rig a 2nd chair in front for a little kid? sturdy enough?
I have a Colorado personal pontoon I'm about to use the pontoons on the side of my pelican fishing kayak to get my old lady and the dog on the pontoon kayak raft
Hi marty do you think thjs gate way 110 handle little chop?
Hey Marty ! how stable would this be for say a 275 pounder 😇
I can see that it comes with a real paddle. That's what I wanted to know.
I want my next yak to be a 12-14 footer. Bigger guy over here ( 5’11”) and 245 pounds
How does the P.G handle surf bch launching
I never knew that Pelican made pedal kayaks. I always thought Pelican kayaks were underrated, from my experience they're not bad crafts.
They have had pedal kayaks out for years
They have had a peddle drive kayaks for almost 3 years
They've had them for years. They aren't as good as hobies but they get the job done.
@@Greivous429 they are the exact design just made with cheaper materials they used them cause the patent ran out on hobie so pelican came in and used the design
