Kirton Kayaks LTD

Story

Kirton Kayaks is a family business based in the UK, directed by Peter Cockram (above). We specialise in making hand-made kayaks to market leading standards.

In fact, our boats are renowned for being incredibly rugged and long-lasting, which is why they're the number one choice for club use. They are surprisingly lightweight too, and our K1 racing kayaks rarely clock in over 12kg, even if you opt for our cheapest construction.

The majority of our boats are designed from scratch by David Green (below), one of the founding members of the company. There's a wide range available, for paddlers of all abilities and we're proud to be able to offer something truly original to the market. We're constantly working on new deigns so keep checking back to see what's in the pipe-line.
It's not all about Sprint and Marathon Kayaks, though. We also work closely with Rob Feloy, designer of many sea kayaks including the popular C-Trek. Together we've created formidable custom craft. One of our greatest achievements came in seeing Peter Bray safely across the North Atlantic on the first ever solo unassisted kayak crossing.
