Transport

At Bantry Bay canoes we have a huge selection of gear to help you move you canoe or kayak, on land and on the road. Most paddlers will require a roof rack to transport their canoe, kayak or sit on top, as well as straps and often an upright bar. We deal with RUK, Eckla and Thule supplying the right equipment for you to safely transport your boat.

Moving open canoes, large kayaks and sit on tops can be made easier using a trolley. Our trolleys are simple to put together and take apart, making them easy to store within a kayak or canoe, saving your strength for the long paddle ahead.
