Old Town Canoe and Kayaks launch the Predator 13 and the Predator MX


The Old Town Predator 13

 Old Town Canoes & Kayaks, a brand steeped in craftsmanship, innovation and tradition, is pleased to announce that its new Predator kayak took home ‘Best Boat’ accolades from the New Product Showcase at the recently concluded ICAST sport fishing tradeshow. Selected in voting by media and buyers attending ICAST, ‘Best of Show’ awards honor new products that set the bar for innovation, design and potential in the fishing industry.

Representing a paradigm shift in angling-specific kayaks, the Predator is completely engineered, below and above the waterline, to deliver the perfect platform for fishing. The Old Town Predator brings anglers closer to the water and the action with nearly unlimited options to customize the kayak around their specific equipment and unique needs.
It features six strategically placed, removable mounting plates to hold a myriad of fishing gear and the innovative three-stage Element™ seating system that can be lowered for paddling, raised for fishing or even flipped out of the way in stand-up mode for poling, sighting and casting. The slip resistant Exo-Ridge™ deck is designed for sure footing and superior drainage, while the Tri-hull construction provides both incredible durability and stability.




Your Equipment. Right Were You Want It.

The Predator comes equipped with all the essentials needed to take your fishing experience to the next level. That includes giving you the ability to customize your boat to meet your exact style and preferences.

Something changes when you take your fishing to the surface level. It alters the playing field and provides a more personal connection to your environment – and the battles that take place there. You just may find the closer you get to the water, the further you can take your game.
