Every campsite becomes a launch point: 7 reasons travelers pack a Reel Yaks
Every campsite becomes a launch point: 7 reasons travelers pack a Reel Yaks
Roof covered in solar panels and every bay full? A Reel Yaks kayak breaks into two sections, so it packs inside instead of on top.
“We put it in the back of the truck and take it camping.” — Richard K., verified buyer

Sound familiar?
- The roof already has solar panels, a fan or a rack
- Every storage bay is full
- Leaving the kayak at home because it's too much hassle
There's a simpler way. Here's why it works.
Fits inside, not on top
Each section is about 4½ to 5½ ft long. Measure your pass-through bay or tow vehicle's cargo space.
No extra roof height
Your clearance stays the same for drive-thrus, gas stations and campground trees.
Fish from camp
Fish the river, lake or inlet next to your site.
Light on payload
The Raptor weighs about 70 lb in total, which matters when you're watching cargo capacity.
On the water in about 5 minutes
The sections clip together in about five minutes, with no tools. Packing up is the same steps in reverse.
Stores anywhere when you're home
Both sections fit through a standard doorway and stand upright against a wall, in a hallway or in a spare room.
Stable enough to stand and cast
The wide W-hull is stable enough for standing casts in calm to moderate conditions, with a 380 to 550 lb capacity depending on the model.
What travelers say
“We put it in the back of the truck and take it camping. The wife and I can go for lake cruises and do a little fishing while we tour the local lakes.”
