Reviews

Perfect board for fly fishing.

"I use this board almost exclusively for salt water fly fishing here in the Northern Neck of VA. Mostly in water 10’ or less, Usually 6 feet or less. I also have the tackle rack, bucket rack and Kula cooler. This is really an ideal set up for me. Super stable board. Accessories really well designed and keep all my stuff handy when I need it and out of the way when I don’t. I usually carry 2 rods. I also use a little grappling anchor to keep me in place when the wind picks up. I am on the water about 100 days a year and this board has made it a pleasure. Fully recommend."

Big SUP, Big guy, Big cargo

"This is a great SUP. It is BIG, but it is perfect for a big guy like me. It is stable, it is fast, and it will carry a ton of gear. I really appreciate the customer service from the team at BOTE. I had a damaged board on delivery and they helped me get it straightened out. Thank you Team BOTE! I love your products!"

i’m a big fan of BOTE customer service is excellen

"I saw a 2021 review on the Gator shell I’m actually considering buying one soon. I have 2 bote inflatables, and one traveler 14 footer that they don’t make anymore when I received my big hardboard. There was an issue. It was very easy to deal with customer service. They came back and picked up the board and delivered the new one. I think BOTE customer service really is very good. i’m looking at the Gator shell now for fishing. I love BOTE. I like that they are Florida base company. I think their customer service is excellent and the products I’ve had. My experience is only really really good. I did have one issue with one of their water bottles built kind of like a yeti. The cap broke but again customer service was really good and they replaced the All I had to do is send them a photo for confirmation and I had a cap in a couple of days."

My favorite paddle board.

"The verge camo rackham is a gorgeous board with even better performance. Its design gets lots of compliments and you can deck it out with a matching high water pack, magnapod drinkware, Kula, tackle rac, belt pack etc. Those board is crazy stable with tons of room for gear and a full Kula. Love this board!"
