About OCEAN KAYAK
Ocean Kayak is a renowned brand in the world of water sports, known for popularizing the sit-on-top kayak design. Founded in the late 1970s in Malibu, California, the company started with a single, handmade kayak molded from an old surfboard. This innovative design, which allowed paddlers to sit on top rather than inside the kayak, quickly gained attention for its stability, ease of use, and versatility, especially in ocean conditions. Ocean Kayak has since become a leading name in recreational kayaking around the globe.
What sets Ocean Kayak apart is its commitment to innovation and making kayaking accessible to everyone—from beginners to experienced adventurers. Their sit-on-top kayaks are designed with stability and safety in mind, featuring self-bailing scupper holes, molded-in foot wells, and comfortable seating. The brand offers a wide range of models, including single and tandem kayaks, designed for various activities such as fishing, touring, diving, and family outings.
Ocean Kayak crafts its products with high-quality polyethylene plastic using a rotational molding process, which ensures both strength and durability. This construction method allows for seamless, impact-resistant kayaks that can withstand rough waters and rocky shores. The materials are UV-resistant, making them ideal for long days on the water under the sun. Many Ocean Kayak models also include features like watertight storage hatches, paddle holders, and gear straps to support extended adventures.
Environmental stewardship is a key value for Ocean Kayak. The company has taken significant steps to minimize its environmental impact, using recycled materials where possible and supporting conservation initiatives.
Hear From Customers
Ocean Kayak changed the way I capture nature. The Frenzy is compact enough for quick deployment and stable enough for me to shoot while drifting in open water. It’s rugged, but nimble—and fits in my SUV. I’ve hauled it through rocky rivers and calm estuaries without worrying about damage. Storage compartments hold my gear securely, and the seat support is excellent, even after hours on the water. This kayak isn’t just gear; it’s part of the experience.
Jason McConnell
As a fitness coach who leads lake and coastal workouts, Ocean Kayak has become my go-to for reliable gear. The Venus 10 is incredibly light and easy to transport—even after a long session. What stands out is the thoughtful design for smaller paddlers like me. The seat feels natural, the paddle control is smooth, and the kayak just feels like an extension of my body. Whether leading a session or enjoying a solo paddle, it never lets me down.
Emily Rivera
Retirement gave me time—and Ocean Kayak gave me the freedom. My husband and I love the Malibu Two. It’s so stable, we even take our Labrador out with us! It’s easy to get in and out, and the seats are much more comfortable than I expected. We’ve paddled in lakes, gentle rivers, even near the coast, and it handles beautifully. I feel safe and confident every time. Highly recommend it for couples, families, or anyone starting their kayaking journey.
