About the Frameless Fishing Series

Sea Eagle's Frameless Fishing Boats are roomy, lightweight, ultra-portable, and pack into a relatively small bag in relation to their sizes. They can be stowed in small spaces because they have no frames. They don't require a trailer so you can carry them to the most remote, hard to reach locations where fish hide most!

Great for lakes, rivers, bays, creeks or almost any body of water. Sea Eagle Frameless Fishing Boats will take you where you want to go and where most other boats wouldn't dare!

Large air chambers allow these Frameless Fishing Boats to support an incredible amount of weight yet draft as little as 4 inches of water. Meaning you have access to shallower waters where heavier boats don't!

The 285fpb and STS10 are equipped with universal Scotty™ Mounts so you can customize these two models as you wish! Outfit them with any Scotty accessory you like. Sea Eagle offers an assortment of Scotty™ accessories to suit your needs. The PackFish 7 features 2 built-in rod holders to keep your rods secure.

285fpb Frameless Pontoon Boat Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars. (177)
Ted Samuelson Verified Owner 3/24/2025 5.0 out of 5 stars.

in 2021 got an sts10 for when i am out with 2 people- this is a great size to just get out of trunk and go out for a few hours by myself- as always with sea eagle- everything well thought out and placed- Talking to real qualified people in the office whenever needed a replacement valve etc etc was always GREAT- can't recommend this company enough.

Tyler Simpao Verified Owner 3/22/2025 5.0 out of 5 stars.

This was one of the best investments in my fishing game. The size of the boat and the portability allow me to get in to a lot of places that full sized fishing boat can't get too. Also purchasing the 12v electric automatic pump was a game changer. I usually can get my whole setup put together in less than 15 mins. The only other thing I wish I had purchases was the 3hp trolling motor that they sell for it. I already had a trolling motor that is underrated for the craft so in winds it struggles but that's on me. Being an inflatable you are more prone to getting pushed around in the wind so I suggest having two anchors. One in the front and one in the back to prevent yourself from spinning around. Other than that it's super comfortable for me being 5' 11" and 180lbs. I will say the one thing I wish was the oar standoff were a little longer. From the sitting position the handles will hit my knees if my legs aren't straightened out. It's a wonderful product and I'm in to my second fishing season with it.

Pat Ford Verified Owner 1/27/2025 5.0 out of 5 stars.

I have really enjoyed my Sea Eagle 285fpb. I love the versatillity and customization of the boat. I have added two scotty anchor locks and a transducer mount using scotty glue on pads. Excellent customer service. I am 70 years old and can load it into my shortbed F-250 truck fully inflated on my own, which was a requirement. I am spending many enjoyable / quality hours and days on a local fly fishing only lake catching beautiful trout.

Thank you for a quality product.

Rick Carlson Verified Owner 1/24/2025 5.0 out of 5 stars.

Great little fishing boat. Perfect for local ponds, lakes, streams and rivers. Use it with a Minnkota Endura Max 45 trolling motor, 100ah lithium battery and Minnkota Trolling Motor Power Center (battery box). When swivel the seat it hits the Power Center so added 1 in spacer between swivel plate and pedestal and now clears it fine. Didn't want to change from 7 in pedestal to 11 in pedestal because that might make a little unstable with higher seat. Also got Wise boat seat caddy that attaches to side of seat for place to store drink, phone and pliers. Put EVA boat foam on top of the wood platform and much nicer. The wood floor does not go all the way to the fixed wooden foot rest so filled that space in with removable garden kneeling pad. Works great. The boat exceeds my expectations.

U-frame Design

U-frame Design

The unique shape of this solo fishing boat permits the maximum use of total fishing space with minimum total weight. The hull weighs a mere 32 lbs. making this super lightweight to pick up and transport. This same fact means the Sea Eagle 285 Frameless Fishing Boat is our fastest and easiest to assemble fishing boat! As such, it easily packs in a car trunk and when not being used to haul fish, stows conveniently in an apartment closet.

Raised Fabric Floor Design

Raised Fabric Floor Design

Unlike traditional inflatable boats the Sea Eagle 285 Frameless Pontoon Boat has a raised fabric floor which barely touches the water. This means when you row or motor this boat it is remarkably fast and responsive for its size! It also means that the fabric floor has less exposure to any sharp objects. Made with our strongest 1000 denier polyester polymer coated fabric this little boat is a super strong fishing machine!

Rig It Your Way

Rig It Your Way

One of the truly nice features of the Sea Eagle 285fpb is that it can be rigged in many different ways with many different kinds of fishing accessories. This boat comes with two universal Scotty™ Mounts that can hold a variety of Scotty™ fishing accessories but that is only the beginning of the different ways you can rig this boat. You can also attach Scotty™ mounts to the floorboard to hold a various accessories from additional rod holders to a cutting board and fishing electronics.
