The Flip-Kat® is a portable kayak that focuses on portability, stability, and storability. When folded you can fit two Flip-Kats® in the back of a large SUV or UTV for the off-road destination. The stability of the Flip-Kat® is world class for kayaks. The over 11-foot-long flat bottom catamaran hull design gets you though the choppy water and into the shallow. As for storability, the Flip-Kat® is designed to fit into a standard closet.
The Patented Flip-Kat® is the first portable kayak made for the serious sportsman by serious sportsmen. The Portable Flip-Kat® focuses on stability, performance and comfort all while taking up a fraction of the space a traditional kayak does, without sacrificing the sportsman’s needs. The large 4-foot wide deck gives you plenty of stable room to move around freely so you are not stuck in one position all day. It also allows you to net that monster bass or take that quick waterfowl shot. Made in the Good Ole USA!
