Purpose & Benefits


  • Provides a watertight compartment for a kayak to afford additional storage space for a tent, food, or other important supplies for an outing.

  • Attaches securely to the kayak to offer safe and convenient storage for any necessity that may be needed.

  • Eliminates the need to use a tow rope and prevents the towed items from tipping in choppy waters.

  • Ensures that items in the compartment remain dry and in good condition.

  • Allows users to easily access the contained items during the outing.


Problems Solved

There is a lack of watertight storage space on a kayak. Many employ the use of a tow rope to pull ice chests and other storage boxes behind the kayak. These tow ropes tend to become tangled or caught on rocks on vegetation. In addition, items towed with a rope will often flip in choppy water.

Detailed Description & Features

Kayaktail is a storage receptacle attachable to a watercraft, specifically a kayak. The storage receptacle is V-shaped and fits neatly into the stern area of the kayak. The storage receptacle may include a hook-like member that is threadable through a hole in the kayak to attach the compartment to the kayak. A specially designed stainless steel J bolt would be needed so that users may hitch the unit to the kayak. Bungee cords may be used to secure the unit in transport. The size of the unit will vary based on the size and brank of kayak. The exact specifications may vary.
