We start with the brilliance of nature, add a hull design that compliments the wind and waves, use materials that are at the fore front of technology and meld the craft with the human form. Safety, comfort, speed and dependability are the functional imperatives at Northwest Kayaks.

We are a family-owned company dedicated to creating quality expedition worthy sea kayaks. Our touring kayaks are designed and built with your safety and comfort in mind and are trusted and relied upon by outfitters and enthusiastic paddlers around the world. Our Staff consists of seasoned guides, instructors, and paddling enthusiasts who are involved in each and every process of handcrafting a Northwest Kayak. Outfitters paddle Northwest Kayaks throughout the Pacific Ocean; from Juneau to Baja, San Juan to Kauai, San Francisco to Seattle, and from Vancouver to Japan: so when we say that our equipment is outfitter proven and outfitter tough, we mean it.
