KayaArm Launch Dock & Kayak Stabilizing System

We ordered the single Kaya-arm to help us launch our kayaks from the floating dock. We were looking for a device that worked for the kayaks but which we could keep out of the way of the other boats. The kaya-arm is great. It was easy to install, and it is easy to use. My husband and I are active but getting older. Having the kayaks remain stable while we climb in and out provides exactly the assistance we need. Watch the videos on the website and they will show you all you need to know.

Great company to deal with. Answered all of my questions and concerns promptly.The assembly video and photos of installations on an aluminum dock was very helpful. Highly recommend this company if you need help getting in and out of your kayak.

We purchased 2 KayaArms earlier this summer and are very happy with the product! The construction is very sturdy and it easily stabilizes the kayak when I am getting in and out. Having 2 arms also allows me to raise the kayak and store it out of the water and off the dock.Per their suggestion, we did make a handle with a hook on the end that made pulling the chain up and down the mast much easier.I would highly recommend this product if you are looking for an unobtrusive way to stabilize your kayak while getting in and out from your dock as well as storing it out of the water.

We installed the KayaArm on our small dock this summer and it worked great. Installation on a metal dock was relatively easy and the arm matches the rest of the dock. The arm feels sturdy and at the same time is light weight to move in and out of the water. We had researched much more expensive solutions are delighted with this one for kayaks, tandem kayaks, and SUP boards.

I am very happy with my KayaArm, it is a game changer for me. I found that I wasn’t paddling as often as I would like because entering and exiting (especially exiting) my boat was difficult. The KayaArm was easy to install and stabilizes my boat beautifully. I was concerned that the metal arm could possible damage my composite boat when weight was put on it. A piece of pipe insulation duct taped on the arm was a quick and perfect fix.

About a year ago we purchased a two arm KayaArm system and it worked very well for us so we recently purchased a second set. We are a couple in our mid 70s and not quite as agile as we once were. The two KayaArm system makes it easy for us to get in and out of our kayaks from our dock. Because of the distance from top of dock to water, I did have to move the dock bracket which entailed drilling four holes through aluminum -- easy to do. Also, I made a handle (see picture) using 11/4 inch dowel which makes it easier to lift and lower the kayaks.

We purchased two KayaArms in the spring of 2020. We are very pleased with the product. Attaching the KayaArms to a small floating dock we now have the ability to launch and store our kayaks right on the river in front of our home. We find getting in and out of our Kayaks using the KayaArms is relatively easy and convenient.

I own and operate a kayak tour company in St Croix USVI, Sea Thru Kayaks VI. We board over 600 passengers per month on our daytime and nighttime kayak tours. In October of 2022 we purchased the KayaArm Launch system.The system took less than two hours to install, including the time spent mounting a ledger board on a concrete bulkhead. The KayaArm was packaged well and only took 10 minutes to assemble. Mounting would be equally as quick if we had a wood dock or pier. When it came time to launch boats, on our first night, we improved our launch rate by over 50%. Disembarking was insane. It took a fraction of the time it typically does. We now cycle our tandem kayaks in under 45 seconds for each boat, launching a 12 boat/24 passenger tour in under 10 minutes!Since installation, we have loaded over 3,100 passengers without incident! We have converted a laborious load process to one that is fast and efficient resulting in greater guest and guide satisfaction!Thank you KayaArm!Craig

Excellent, low-cost solution (when compared with other products) for the problems connected with entering or exiting a kayak from a dock. We bought two of them so we could store the kayak out of the water when not in use. Installation was easy - just watch the videos.

The kayaarm is a well-designed and extremely sturdy piece of hardware…100% satisfied! We were able to install a pair of arms on a floating dock with a large (36”) drop to the water, and it was a game-changer! We can now easily lower the kayak to the water, enter/exit easily, and raise the kayak out of the water for storage in place. Some modifications to the installation were required, but the website had some helpful tips on drilling additional mounting holes.
