Speed and range separate the best electric kayak motors from the rest. It’s not about hype — it’s about getting to the fish and staying on them longer. Newport’s NK180PRO and NK300 consistently outperform competitors by delivering proven speed and reliable range in real-world conditions.

Real-World Speed Tests

• NK180PRO: 4–5 mph average speeds on most fishing kayaks, but upwards of 5.5-6mph on more streamlined models.
• NK300: 6-7 mph top-end speeds with plenty of torque left to push through current or any conditions Mother Nature tests you with. 

With either motor, anglers spend less time traveling and more time fishing.

Range You Can Rely On

• NK180PRO offers all-day runtime with a 24V lithium battery. If you're a true distance angler chasing untouched water, you can run two batteries in parallel for unbelievable range and runtime.  
• NK300, paired with a 36V system, delivers extended range even in big water. The shear torque of this electric kayak outboard BEAST manhandles any water. This is the Tournament Pro's choice, and for good reason.

That’s the difference between cutting trips short and exploring further than ever before.

Competitor Comparisons

• New Tech: Impressive, but too and complex for most kayak anglers and kayak setups. Add in bulky components that don’t conserve cockpit space, and Newport has the upper hand on integration. 
• Jet Motors: Small size and lightweight, but weak thrust, short runtime and prone to failure and excessive wear and tear. Expensive for the performance output they yield.

Newport wins by delivering real-world performance at a smarter price.

Fishing Advantages of Superior Speed & Range

• Be first to the best spots in tournaments or amongst weekend crowds.
• Cover more water in less time.
• Stay safe when conditions shift.
• Fish all day without battery anxiety.
