PORTL PASSAGE SOLO — The journey starts here.
A portable, modular fishing kayak for solo anglers. The PORTL Passage Solo combines a slimmer 91 cm-wide platform with two hull sections, so you can enjoy a full-size 3 m kayak and pack it down for transport and storage. Passage is the journey through it.

Use the front bow storage to organise gear for the day. Passage has no dedicated under-seat fish-storage cabin; choose the broader Odyssey range if that is a priority.
Pack. Carry. Go.
Vehicle compatibility: Hatchback. The 2-section hull lets you pack separate modules rather than transport the full assembled kayak. Vehicle guidance is a starting point: actual fit depends on the boot opening, available cargo space and loading arrangement.
- Compare the boot opening with the widest and tallest hull section.
- Measure cargo length with the seats in your intended travel position.
- Allow room for 2 hull sections, pedal drives and fishing gear.
- Check individual section weights against what you can comfortably lift.
If using PORTL soft roof racks, check vehicle and rack suitability, roof-load limits and secure loading requirements. Check your vehicle in the Will it fit in my car? tool.

Choose your pedal propulsion
Fin pedal: forward-only pedalling for fishing around shallow, weedy edges, with suitable hull and drive clearance. The fin system has no spinning propeller.
Propeller pedal: bicycle-style circular pedalling for clearer, deeper water and steady cruising. Weeds can wrap around the propeller.
The propeller package upgrade is A$150 above the fin package. Fin pedal package: A$1,699. Propeller pedal package: A$1,849. Prices include GST; delivery is additional.
Make your fishing kayak yours
Add an electric motor to customise your setup. Your selected pedal drive stays included; batteries and additional pedal-drive units are separate purchases.
Choose optional 360° swivel seating, a chair canopy for your seat, black stabilisers, additional rail-mounted rod holders, a bait board, fish-finder mounting hardware, an anchor, a plug-in trolley or soft roof racks. Chair canopies fit standard and swivel chairs. Electronics, accessories and battery bundles are sold separately unless included in your selected build.
Solo-to-Tandem expansion
Upgrade your Passage Solo to a Tandem later with the matching Passage expansion pack, including a middle hull section, standard chair and a fin or propeller pedal drive of your choice.
Passage and Odyssey have different hull cross-sections. Hull sections and expansion packs do not interchange between ranges.
