My dad and I have been doing a lot of research on the best boats for fly fishing on interior BC lakes when we came across Journey on the internet. I was very impressed with all the positive comments not only regarding the boat quality but also the entire process of building a boat specific to your individual wants and needs. Figured I would call and see what all the hype was about:) Well after my conversation with Rob on the phone I was sold. The attention to detail that are put into a journey along with the quality of build and the expertise of Rob was next level!! We received our boat last week (just in time for my 50th birthday) and could not be happier!! Beyond excited to get our 9-6 on the water. Thank you Rob and the rest of the gang at Journey for such an amazing product and purchase experience!

Hey Jim, you're very welcome! It was a pleasure working with you and we can't wait to see some pictures of you and your Dad enjoying the Journey! Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback.

I was up at Machete lake in the Cariboo. My buddies first trip in my Journey boat. He loved it! I still can’t believe how great this boat is. It’s the best boat I have ever had. Don’t hesitate any longer, buy one!

Thanks again Dan! It's so great to know that all the planning and hard work are resulting in satisfied customers!! Enjoy your Journey ... 🙂

If you are a serious stillwater guy, stop looking. This is the best boat out there. I went with the 9-6. My accessories were 4-side mounts, flush mounts in all 4 corners, infinite seats, and plugin rear wheels. Everything about this boat, is though out to perfection. I added a nice high back seat, and anti-fatigue mats, to make those long day extra comfortable. The floor is completely flat, no rivets,or ribs to get in your way. The floating bench seats give you so much added storage. When fishing alone, seating in the middle, everything is within arm reach. It's so stable even with two adults and a couple kids. No problem. I talked to a guy who was so disappointed he didn't wait for a Journey. Don't be that guy, pull the trigger you won't regret it. The only other boat I might need in the future is a 11-6. Absolutely love my boat. 100 percent satisfied. Thanks Rob, and all the guys at the shop.

Hey Craig, thanks so much for taking the time to drop a few words on your thoughts/experiences with the boat! Very glad to hear that you and your family are enjoying it! Cheers and tight lines to ya ... 🙂

I have to say that dealing with Rob at Journey was a real pleasure. He was very thorough and helpful when customizing my new boat. The wait was well worth it. This boat is rock solid and I am completely satisfied with my purchase. I would highly recommend buying a journey if you’re in the market for a quality still water boat. Thanks again for your attention to detail and help.

You're very welcome Sean, the pleasure was ours! Thanks for taking the time to drop a few words. Enjoy the Journey ... 🙂

Wow!! 1 year with our 11-6 journey. My previous fishing boat was a 2006 16’ crest liner fish hawk hull.. First trip on lake Okanagan and I realized they’re not the same. But this little boat: fits in my garage, is very stable , quiet with electric motor, easy to launch by my self, well built, (get the rubber floor),can handle some choppy water,(I do turn into on coming waves from larger boats), haven’t tried the wheels because we’re fishing Kokanee on local lakes that have places to launch with a trailer, and spend most of our time trolling. I’m sitting here trying to think of some cons but I don’t have any. We really like this boat. The set up, trailer, seats are making our move to the Okanagan a most memorable time. Thank you Journey staff for an excellent product. Jimmy

Very much appreciate you dropping by to leave a review, Jimmy! Glad you're digging the Journey!

Great boat! Came from the states to get the custom boat I couldn't find down here (quality and value). Added a Minn Kota electric motor to the already well rigged boat and it has been a dream platform to fish the lakes around Mt. St. Helens. It is easy to tell the boat was designed by people who fish. Stable, roomy and easily customized to move rods, tackle, anchors, and fish finder to wherever we need it. Thanks Journey boat builders for an outstanding quality build and to Rob for the great communication (patient with my countless questions:-). Fish on!

Hey Jeffrey, the pleasure was ours! Appreciate your patience and making the trip for the boat! We did design it for fishermen and we're happy that you are pleased with it! Tight lines and be sure to let us know when your heading back this way for a fish ... 🙂

Picked up my boat spring of 2020. This is one of the best purchases I have made for anything outdoors. Rob and crew worked with me on all the details and questions I had and their customer service is at a rare level. The boat has been bullet proof, no issues whatsoever. The best part after rarely standing in conventional aluminum boats, I stand more than I sit in this unit! Nothing better than trolling a leech super slow out one side and on the other side sight casting rainbows around PG in total comfort. If anything, the 11-6 would be suitable now that more people want to go fishing. Or maybe it is good the way it is! Everyone that sees this boat asks about it. Thanks for a great product that I never have issues with.

You're very welcome, Dean! It was a pleasure working the build with you and are glad to hear that you are enjoying it! Cheers ...

After owning two other boats prior to my new 9-6, I am confident to say this boat exceeded my expectations regarding what a good lake boat should be. From the removable seats to the width and stability creating a great platform to fish from. This should be the gold standard from which you should compare all other boats too, with all the accessories installed on this boat it’s hard to beat and the build quality is exceptional, this is a boat for a lifetime of fishing. Thank you very much to the crew at Journey for designing and building such a great product!

Thank you for the kind words Pete! We really do try to make our boats THE perfect stillwater platform! Enjoy your Journey!

After talking to Journey about a 11-6 portable setup I happened to snatch up a second hand 9-6 here in Northern AB. I was instantly impressed with the space and stability when compared to my 14ft vhull. After trying a friends 6hp I ordered my own as well as some aluminum accessories from Journey. They were glad to help and shipped me the accessories without a hassle!

I usually fish with my 55lb dog, we can get around a lake fast with this combo! Alternatively, the 6hp will still plane the boat out with two fisherman and mild chop. The 9-6 is also spacious enough if I'd rather take the wife and both dogs out for a sunset picnic. At less than 200lbs with the 6hp it's also super simple launch from the box of the truck.

This spring I was teaching myself to fly fish. The streamlined open layout of my journey was instrumental in me being able to gain confidence stripping and casting on the water. I even landed my first fish on the fly (a hungry young pike) sight fishing from the bow. Needless to say, I recommend these boats to all my friends, and I can't wait to get mine on some backcountry lakes!

Congrats on the new to you Journey find, Javin! We typically see very few come up for sale, and when they do they don't last long! We were glad to be able to help you rig it up with a few accessories and are luv that you have been successful boating and fly fishing with it! Thanks for dropping us a review! Tight lines and enjoy your Journey!

I picked up my 11-6 boat this past December (22 )and could not try it as every thing was frozen. I have tried it three times now and i still can't believe the amount of room you have compared to my old 12 foot aluminum. The stability of the Journey is 100 % better then my 1964 boat. I can walk around in the Journey and not worry about falling overboard ( i'm 66 going on 67 ). I'm glad i got the wheel package with the front removable tire as it makes it so easy to move my boat anywhere from putting it in my garage to taking our to the street to load it my boat loader. It's also great for loading everything on my boat and pushing it in the lake. I really like the infinite position seat system and the Premium boat seats are very comfortable. I like the universal fish finder tree, one piece floor mat, hanging tackle tray, oar hangers and the pyramid anchors/rope kit & anchor racks. Rob was very helpful in me ordering my boat, i must of text him many times to add something i wanted on the boat. I lost something off my boat when i was in Logan Lake and i texted Rob on short notice and he was able to get it for me and i went to Kamloops and picked it up. Thanks very much Rob. The Journey boat is a lot easier to get into and out of, my 13 year old lab jumped out of the boat no problem when a couple of drakes swam close to the boat. This is the nicest boat i have ever had. I have gotten a lot of "nice boat" from many people .

Was a pleasure working with you Dan and we're glad that it was everything that you expected it to be! Thanks for dropping a few words about your experiences and enjoy your Journey ... 🙂
