The compact, 11-foot Caper™ Lady Angler is stable, easy to maneuver at only 45 pounds and suitable for a variety of different sized anglers.   Best of all, Ocean Kayak™ will donate one percent of the gross sales for each Caper™ Lady Angler sold to the Breast Cancer Fund.

 

“Our vision for the Caper™ Lady Angler came from our years of experience in the category and feedback from our female fishing team members, guides in the field and other industry pros,” said Sara Knies Ocean Kayak™ Marketing Director.   “The Caper™ Lady Angler fills an important niche within our stable of fishing kayaks and once again we are incredibly pleased to team with the Breast Cancer Fund in committing funds from the sales of these boats towards the fight against breast cancer.”

 

The Caper™ Lady Angler will be issued in a special edition pink color.  It will come standard with two flush mounted rod holders, a comfortable Comfort Plus™ seat, large tank well with bungee, molded-in foot wells and a large bow hatch for storage.  Six-inch center hatch optional.  SRP: $749 US.
