Named for the native Alaskan peoples that coined the word “kayak” (qayaq), the Jackson YuPIK changes the very definition of versatility. This kayak features a clean, open deck, infinite outfitting, and rigging options. Designed with an open, stable deck, the YuPIK is as stand-able and roomy as any other boat in the Jackson lineup.

NEW FOR 2026: Every model in our 2026 fishing lineup now comes equipped with the Jackson Kayak Comfort Seat 5.0. Designed with a deeper ergonomic base for better posture and lower center of gravity, the 5.0 delivers improved support, increased comfort, and a more connected feel on the water. It’s the most advanced version of our iconic seat system, now standard across the board.

Features:

• Bow to stern track systems, rigging solutions and storage pockets molded in along the entirety of the boat allows the modularity for you to rig for your adventure without limitation
• Strap-down gear track for 360° storage security
• Optional Hawg Trough Fishing Accessory Tray for even more options
• The YuPIK now features Jackson’s EZ Hi-Lo Seating System (Patented)! Take comfort to new levels, and raise and lower your seat with one hand. Learn more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdE0FHM1tXY
• Four spots along the sidewall of the YuPIK keep tackle boxes (3640 Plano) close at hand, yet out of the way
• Scooped bow allows easier storage of soft goods such as tents, dry bags, decoy bags, etc
• Seat-side tackle stagers to embed those hooks and keep them from rolling loose in your boat
• Front scupper hole accommodates many larger transducer sizes, making installation of fish finder units a snap
• Four molded-in inserts on the stern of the kayak accommodates accessories with the four-bolt mounting pattern such as a PowerPole, Newport, or Torqeedo motors
