How do I carry multiple Kayaks on my car?

If you need to carry multiple kayaks on your vehicle, space can often become an issue. With most kayaks being around 80 cm wide and crossbars typically ranging from 120 cm to 150 cm, fitting two kayaks side by side can be a tight squeeze. Fortunately, there are solutions to help you carry multiple kayaks safely and securely, even with limited roof space.

One option is using a kayak carrier designed to hold kayaks at a 45-degree or 90-degree angle, which allows you to transport them more efficiently. These carriers are compatible with most roof racks and help maximise the available roof space.

Some of our top recommendations include:

• Rhino-Rack S510: This versatile carrier allows you to transport multiple kayaks or watercraft at an angle, optimising roof space without compromising security. Its design ensures the kayaks are securely held, reducing the risk of damage during transport.
