The Compact Marine Seat Small Boat Owners Have Been Asking For
For years, kayakers and small boat enthusiasts have been forced to choose between thin foam pads that offer zero support or bulky seats that eat up precious deck space. The Sidekick changes everything.
This compact marine bean bag was purpose-built for the unique challenges of kayak fishing, canoe trips, and jon boat outings. At just 5.5 pounds, it delivers the same legendary E-SeaRider durability that's made our full-size boat bean bags the industry standard—just sized perfectly for tight spaces.
Unlike flat pads that leave you shifting position every 20 minutes, the Sidekick's contoured wedge design cradles your lower back and keeps you locked in comfortably, even when the water gets choppy. Drop it into your kayak cockpit, toss it in your canoe, or position it anywhere on your jon boat deck. Instant upgrade.
Small boat. Big comfort.
The First Marine Bean Bag Built Specifically for Kayaks and Small Boats.
Room for One More.
Whether it's your kid wanting to join the fishing trip, a friend tagging along for the afternoon, or simply having a backup seat when you need a position change, the Sidekick delivers instant seating anywhere on your small boat. No drilling. No permanent mounts. Just drop it where you need it and make room for the memories that matter.
Grab It and Go - Seriously.
At 5.5 pounds with twin handles, the Sidekick is lighter than most tackle bags. Carry it one-handed from your truck to the launch. Toss it on the dock while you load gear. This is the portable comfort your adventures deserve without the awkward bulk of traditional seats.

Sidekick Compact Marine Chair FAQ's
Yes! The Sidekick is built with marine-grade vinyl specifically designed to withstand salt water and harsh UV exposure. E-SeaRider has been perfecting marine bean bags since 2002.
The Sidekick's bean bag interior conforms to your body's natural curves, eliminating the pressure points that cause discomfort with flat foam pads. Small watercraft users report being able to fish and paddle comfortably for hours without soreness.
At just 5.5 pounds with integrated twin carry handles, the Sidekick transforms kayak logistics. Grab it with one hand and go. The compact design fits in car trunks, jon boat deck space, and storage areas without taking up precious space.
The Sidekick uses the same marine-grade construction as E-SeaRider's boat bean bags, which are built to withstand the harshest marine environments. With proper care, it will last for years while foam pads flatten and deteriorate quickly.
The Sidekick is specifically engineered for marine use with double-thick waterproof vinyl, YKK marine zippers, and a firmer fill density designed for all-day support in kayaks and small boats. Regular bean bags, those that are not waterproof and marine grade, can't handle the water, sun, and wear of outdoor adventure use.
