Making Adventures Legendary
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.
