A little about a lot
A Calling
Established in 2012, Fatyak is a UK-based kayak manufacturer passionate about protecting our seas. Our devoted team of conservationists and industry experts craft exceptional kayaks at competitive prices, sparing no expense on materials to ensure our products endure over time. Sustainability and recycling are central to our mission, empowering both novice and seasoned explorers to embark on unforgettable adventures.

CUTTING EDGE DESIGN
Our Kayaks -Built for the Exhilaration to Last
Fatyak kayaks feature innovative, well-researched designs created by kayak enthusiasts. They boast ergonomic handles, double storage tanks, a comfortable seating area, a rear stowage compartment with mesh, backrest/thigh strap fittings, and a paddle keeper.
The technical hull design minimizes drag and aids tracking, with a sharp nose for cutting through water and a pronounced spine for stability.
Fatyak kayaks are lightweight, easy to transport and carry with well-placed built in handles.
On the Water the kayaks are designed to be very stable and track smoothly. They have multiple footrest options and are maneuverable, making them suitable for both flat water and waves.
Our kayak range is versatile and well-designed for various water activities. They’re stable enough for fishing, with ample storage for bait and the option for rod holders.
We pride ourselves on our high standards for kayak manufacturing. Our single-piece rotationally molded construction offers outstanding quality. Our range is manufactured in accordance with British Standard BS7852, and our quality system is accredited to the ISO 9001:2008 standard.

DEFINED BY OUR VALUES
Community Give Back
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our products. We support communities and explorers dedicated to ocean conservation. Our partnership with Odyssey Innovations has garnered international attention, including recognition from world leaders and a showcase at COP26.
Our kayaks have been at the forefront of numerous paddle-driven missions, supporting a variety of plastic clean-up efforts and adventurous expeditions. Through these journeys, we have raised awareness about marine pollution and actively contributed to the recovery of marine plastic. Our dedicated team and community members paddle with purpose, transforming every expedition into a meaningful quest for a cleaner, healthier ocean.
These initiatives bring together passionate individuals who share a common goal: to make a tangible difference. Every piece of plastic removed from our waters brings us one step closer to restoring the natural beauty of our aquatic ecosystems.

Exceptional performance
Unparalleled
Kayak manufacturers primarily use polyethylene (PE) plastic for rotationally molded kayaks. We use Superlinear HDPE because it offers enhanced qualities, making it the most durable and expensive option. It is ideal for extreme conditions or heavy use due to its high strength, stiffness, puncture resistance, and UV stability. MDPE provides a compromise of strength, durability, and affordability, while manufacturers in China most often use LDPE, operating under environmental and employment conditions that would not be acceptable in the UK. LDPE is the least strong and durable, with lower resistance to UV light and impacts. Although cheaper, it represents a false economy both financially and environmentally. As the saying goes, “Buy cheap, buy twice.”

A World's First
Odyssey Innovation X Fatyak
Recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
Our range of marine plastic kayaks, created with Odyssey Innovation, are made from 100% recycled plastic. These sturdy and reliable kayaks support the Marine Regeneration Scheme by incorporating plastic collected from beach clean-ups and fishing communities.
Benefits:
Environmental Impact: Reduces plastic waste in our oceans, preventing harm to marine life.
Carbon Reduction: Requires less energy than virgin plastic production and can be recycled again.
Material Quality: Made with high-quality HDPE, matching the durability of virgin plastic in recreational kayaks.
By recycling beach plastic into kayaks, we combat plastic pollution and reduce carbon emissions, promoting a sustainable and circular economy.

“The Kaafu Sit-on-Top Kayak is a fantastic multi-purpose boat. Being lightweight, manoeuvrable and fast, this boat is a great choice for those wanting to enjoy kayaking on flat water, sea, surf or rivers.” -Dan French Exmoor Adventures

“I purchased a Fatyak™ II from you as a Christmas present for my son. Now that he has had a chance to take it out a few times (you have got to love this mild winter weather), I’d like to tell you how much we like it!I had been meaning to indulge in a kayak for some time to add to our other water sports equipment. The kayak was purchased to use both in the sea locally and also to take along when we surf further down the coast. We found the fatyak™ to be very well built and extremely stable in the water.Several people asked what the kayak was like when we used it in the local harbour on New Year’s day and had a closer look – I did advise them to speak to you – so you could have a few more sales coming your way.In summary we are delighted, a great product at a very reasonable price point.” -Stephen Rowbottom

“Once you’re seated comfortably it’s immediately obvious just how stable the Kaafu is.With a considerable amount of width and volume towards the back end of the boat, you feel secure when paddling in a straight line. Even slight wobbles are of no concern – the Fatyak remains upright keeping the paddler locked in.” -SitOns.com

“We are particularly impressed that Fatyak have designed two dry storage hatches into a single kayak: one which is ideally located for access, between the legs and the other toward the bow.”DevonOutdoors.co.uk

“I had been looking at getting a kayak for my two sons to use for some time, as we want to use it here in Minehaead and at the North Devon surf beaches. We wanted something versatile enough to use in waves as well as on flat. This kayak has proved itself to be up to these varied conditions everytime we have used it. The Fatyak™ is proving to be an excellent investment which is robustly constructed, stable, yet, more importantly, easy to use. My eldest son even uses it for fishing from in our home waters of Minehead.It is a product that has coped with everything my two ambitious sons have thrown at it. Great fum, great product, great design, and I believe great value for money.” -Stuart Reeson
