THE JOURNEY
Making Adventures Legendary
Fatyak Kayaks are built for adventure. Stable, strong and made to last, our robust kayaks give paddlers of all ages the confidence to get on the water and enjoy unforgettable family fun.
The beginning
Founded in 1994, Techneat has built a strong reputation as
one of the UK's leading rotomoulding specialists. For over 30 years, we have
been manufacturing our own range of high-quality sprayer tanks, outdoor pig
equipment, and providing contract rotomoulding services for businesses across a
wide range of industries. Our commitment to innovation, quality, and British
manufacturing has remained at the heart of everything we do, allowing us to
deliver durable products that customers can rely on.
Our kayak journey begins
In 2023, we were given the exciting opportunity to
manufacture kayaks for Fatyak, combining our decades of rotomoulding expertise
with one of the UK's best-loved kayak brands. That partnership quickly proved
to be a natural fit, and in the summer of 2026, Techneat proudly acquired
Fatyak. With the brand now part of the Techneat family, we have an exciting
vision to grow Fatyak, expand its product range, and make high-quality,
UK-manufactured kayaks more accessible than ever before.
The future
By taking a more direct approach to the market, we're able
to offer exceptional value without compromising on quality. Every Fatyak kayak
is proudly manufactured in the UK using the same expertise and attention to
detail that has defined Techneat for over three decades. As we continue to
develop the brand, we'll also be launching an exciting new range of Fatyak
apparel and clothing. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay up to date
with our latest products, behind-the-scenes content, and exciting announcements.

“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
