Modular Kayak Launch
Launch, land, and store your kayak safely—no matter how steep your shoreline.
Our modular, aluminum kayak launch uses a manual winch and UV-stabilized PVC roller sleeves to guide and protect your kayak as it travels between house and water. It’s light, strong, and designed to build to the exact length you need—so you can enjoy more paddling with far less hauling.
