ABOUT BROOKLYN KAYAK CO.


Born in Brooklyn, Made for Adventure
When most people think of New York, it's Central Park, Times Square, and the bustle of a million feet moving down this or that famous street. For us, it's the striped bass fishery of Jamaica Bay. It's the sunrise over Rockaway Park seen from calm morning waters. It's paddling on the Hudson or around Sandy Hook. New York is a city of islands. There's 520 miles of coastline - more than Miami, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco combined.

Family Owned and Operated
We grew up on the waters of New York, fishing, exploring, and enjoying its natural beauty. But when we started looking around for kayaks, we were left wanting. Wanting a kayak that came with features like a rod holder and paddle park standard, not as an aftermarket accessory. Wanting a kayak that was sturdy enough for tandem use but steady enough for solo paddlers. Wanting a kayak that was rugged enough to last for years but priced to fit an everyday budget. There were no such kayaks around, so we took the American approach: we started building them ourselves.

Meet the Founders

Designed by Kayakers for Kayakers
From built-in waterproof storage compartments to paddles and seats included with every purchase, we tried to think of everything we would want in a kayak ourselves and then build it into the craft we offer you. And without adding extra costs - we never planned to make a fortune making kayaks, we just want to help create rich memories.
