Ideal for Storage and Portability

Our modular kayaks have all the other quality features any sit on top kayak, but can be conveniently broken down into three smaller sections for easy transport. Instead of a dedicated kayak rack, this fits in the back of an SUV or pickup truck. You could even carry each section of the kayak up the stairs or in an elevator of an apartment or break it down and store each section on the shelf in a garage or shed.

Portable Kayaks FAQs

What are modular kayaks and how do they work?

Modular kayaks are hard-shell kayaks designed to snap apart into two or more sections. This makes them easier to transport and store. Each piece is also lighter weight making it easier to lift, especially for solo kayakers. The pieces lock securely together for leak-proof use on water. And then they break down quickly for carrying, transporting, or storing.

Do BKC modular kayaks sacrifice features or stability compared to regular kayaks?

No, these modular kayaks are made with the same high-density polyethylene as traditional ‘yaks. They also come fully equipped with built-in rod holders, storage hatches, comfortable seats, propulsion options, and more. They are just as stable, sturdy, and comfortable as their one-piece cousins.

Who benefits most from modular or portable kayaks?

While anyone can appreciate the convenience of a modular kayak, they are most appealing to those with limited storage options, small vehicles, apartment dwellers, or solo kayakers. They are great for travelling, as the individual sections lend themselves to different packing and transporting options.

Are BKC modular kayaks suitable for fishing, tandem paddling, or saltwater use?

Yes, Brooklyn Kayak Company offers modular options that fit all of these scenarios. Our modular kayaks feature fishing accessories such as rod holders, gear tracks, and ample storage. They are made of corrosion-resistant materials, making them suitable for fresh and salt water.

What do the pieces of the modular kayaks weigh?

Currently, Brooklyn Kayak Company offers single, single pedal, tandem pedal, two and three piece modular kayaks. Depending on which modular kayak you choose, on average, the pieces are around 30 lbs.

Do you offer foldable kayaks for easier transport and storability?

Yes, currently we offer the Brooklyn 8.0 Single Foldable Pedal Kayak (FPK8). It's small enough to fit in a car trunk or in smaller living or storage spaces. In spite of its compact folding design, it has a weight capacity of 380lbs for paddler and gear. Fully loaded for angler or recreational kayaker.
