Horizon Pro Seat measurements: high, recumbent, perch

The Horizon Pro Seat base is 21" wide by 17" deep, with positions from 6.4" (recumbent low for surf launch) up to 17.6" off the deck (with the Horizon Seat Perch).

The Horizon Pro Seat is built to give you real position changes — not just a backrest tilt. Five distinct height and angle settings across one seat.

The numbers

Seat base: 21" wide, 17" deep
High position (neutral): 10" from deck
Recumbent high position: front of seat raises to 15" from deck
Recumbent low position (surf launch): 6.4" from deck
With the Horizon Seat Perch: 17.6" from deck

What each position is for

High position — 10"

The default sit-and-fish height. This is where you'll spend most of your time. Comfortable for casting, pedaling, hand-steering, and general all-day paddling. The seat back is upright and you're sitting with your eyes well above the gunwale for visibility.

Recumbent high — 15" at the front

Front of the seat raises while the back stays lower, putting you in a slightly reclined kicked-back position. Good for long-distance trolling, watching electronics for extended periods, or just easing your lower back on a long day.

Recumbent low — 6.4"

The lowest position. Drops the back of the seat base way down for surf launches and punching through fast-moving water. Center of gravity is low, so the boat stays stable when waves are hitting the bow. Front support stays at its current height — you don't lose your feet.

Perch — 17.6"

Add the optional Horizon Seat Perch and the whole seat lifts up to 17.6" off the deck. That's tall enough for elevated sight-casting, watching for tailing fish in skinny water, or just having a higher vantage point on flat water. The Perch is a popular add-on for flats-style fishing.

Width and depth context

The 21" wide x 17" deep seat base is wider and deeper than most kayak fishing seats on the market. Between the armrests on the Terra 116 (where the seat is also used), there's 21.5" of clear chair width — wider than a typical office chair. Big anglers fit comfortably.

What the seat doesn't do

It doesn't swivel. Cajo went deliberately with positions and angles rather than a rotating base — swivel seats add complexity and points of failure on saltwater, and most anglers don't actually use the swivel function as much as they think they will.
