Traverse Drive bundle: $300 off, wherever you buy

$300 off the Traverse Pedal Drive when bundled with any Cajo hull. Standalone $1,199.99, bundled $899.99. Applies on both direct caminojourney.com checkout AND dealer purchases — just ask the dealer if it's not on your quote.

The Traverse Pedal Drive is $1,199.99 standalone and $899.99 bundled with any Cajo hull or Highlander — a $300 savings. The discount applies wherever you buy: directly on caminojourney.com OR through any authorized Cajo dealer. This article walks through why that matters, how the math shows up on your quote, and what to do if the discount isn't showing.

The math

Traverse Pedal Drive standalone: $1,199.99
Traverse Pedal Drive bundled with any Cajo hull or Highlander: $899.99
Savings: $300

Example: Outpost 128 + Traverse Drive at full price would be $3,299.98. With the bundle, you pay $2,999.98 — the $300 comes off the drive line, not the hull line.

Wherever you buy — including dealers

This is the part people don't always know:

The $300 bundle applies on direct AND dealer purchases. It's not a caminojourney.com-only promotion. If you buy your Cajo through Eco Fishing Shops, Electric Surf Sports, KayakHub, or any other authorized dealer, you should be getting the $300 bundle when you add the Traverse Drive to your order.

The reason this matters: a few customers have told us they got dealer quotes that listed the drive at the standalone $1,199.99 price next to a hull. That's a quote that's missing the bundle math. Always ask the dealer to confirm the bundle pricing before you accept the quote.

What the dealer ask sounds like

If you're buying through a dealer and the quote isn't itemized clearly:

"I'd like the [hull model] bundled with the Traverse Pedal Drive — that should be $899.99 on the drive, not the standalone price. Can you confirm the bundle's applied?"

Most dealers will adjust on the spot. If a dealer says the bundle doesn't apply at their store, ping us in chat — we'll sort it out directly. The bundle is Cajo policy across all authorized dealers, not a dealer-by-dealer discretionary discount.

How it shows up at direct checkout

On caminojourney.com, the bundle math is automatic. You add a hull to cart, you add the Traverse Drive to cart, and the cart shows the line totals at the bundled price — not as a separate discount line.

That means you won't see a line that literally says "$300 BUNDLE DISCOUNT." You'll see:

Outpost 128: $2,099.99
Traverse Drive: $899.99
Total: $2,999.98

Versus without the bundle, the cart would show:

Outpost 128: $2,099.99
Traverse Drive: $1,199.99
Total: $3,299.98

It's the same $300 savings, just baked into the displayed price rather than called out as a separate line. We've heard from a few customers who worried the discount didn't apply — it does, the math is just hidden in the line totals.

Why bundle vs. standalone

A few good reasons to buy the drive at order time vs. later:

$300 saved. That's a Quad Rail and accessories.
The drive's bolted to the boat from day one — no separate shipping wait, no second install day.
Single warranty start date — drive warranty runs from delivery, not from a later separate purchase.
The whole rig works the first time you launch.

The most common "I'll add the drive later" path is a customer who buys the boat to paddle first, decides they want a drive later, and pays standalone pricing. That's fine — but it's $300 more than buying together.

What if I want a fin drive instead?

If you'd rather run a kick-up fin drive (Hobie MD 180, Pelican, Vibe Hero 2.0-era, or Lightning Kayaks), the Traverse bundle doesn't apply — you'd buy the Cajo Fin Drive Adapter instead. The Adapter is a separate SKU priced separately on its product page, and the math comes out differently — the MD 180 + Adapter route ends up meaningfully more expensive than the bundled Traverse if you're starting from scratch. If you already own an MD 180, the adapter route is the right call.

What if I already bought a hull without the bundle?

Some customers have asked whether they can claim the $300 bundle credit later if they buy the drive a few days or weeks after the hull. The honest answer: the bundle is structured to apply at the time of the combined purchase, so adding the drive separately afterward defaults to standalone pricing.

That said — ping us. If you bought the hull within the last few days and want to add the drive, we have flexibility on a case-by-case basis. Send us your order number and we'll work it out.

Highlander inflatables

The bundle math applies to the Highlander AirTrek line too. Highlander 100 + Traverse Drive, Highlander 120 + Traverse Drive, Highlander 140T + Traverse Drive — all save $300 on the drive vs. buying it standalone later.

The inflatables also accept a fin drive via the Highlander Fin Drive Mount Kit, but that's a different decision — see the Cajo accessory primer.

The takeaway

Whether you're buying direct, calling Eco Fishing Shops for nationwide shipping, walking into Electric Surf Sports in West Palm Beach, or sitting at a counter with any other authorized dealer:

Standalone Traverse Drive: $1,199.99
Bundled with any Cajo or Highlander: $899.99
$300 off, every time

If the math isn't matching on a quote you're looking at, ask the dealer. If they push back, ping us.
