Kayaks: Your ticket to a BCFing great adventure

There is nothing quite like the feeling of sliding a kayak into the glassy water at sunrise. Kayaks are the ultimate way to see the best of the Aussie waters. You don’t need a massive boat or a heavy trailer to get among the action when you’ve got a reliable kayak ready to launch.

From sleek canoes and kayaks built for speed to stable platforms made for the family, BCF has the range to get you off the couch and onto the water. Grab a kayak paddle and start exploring those spots the big boats can't reach, because the best adventures usually happen where the water is shallow, and the air is fresh.

Choosing the right kayak

Picking between a sit-on-top kayak and a sit-in kayak depends entirely on where you plan to spend your time. A sit-on-top is a ripper choice for beginners and summer fun because they are virtually unsinkable and dead easy to get back onto if you decide to take a cooling dip. If you are planning on tackling cooler waters or want a drier ride, a sit-in model offers more protection from the elements.

Safety is paramount when you are out on the big blue, so never head off without one of our life jackets properly fitted. You also need to consider your own height and weight when deciding which kayak size you need. A longer sea kayak will track straighter and cover more distance with less effort, while a shorter recreational kayak is heaps easier to turn in tight creeks.

Kayaks and gear for your next great mission

Sliding a yak into a glassy estuary at dawn or tackling a bit of chop in the bay is what living in Australia is all about. At BCF, we know that a kayak isn't just a bit of plastic; it is your ticket to the spots that the land-lubbers and big boaties can only dream of. From chasing a feed of flathead to a lazy Sunday paddle with the grommets, our range is built for the rugged Aussie sun and the salt of our coastlines.

Recreational kayaks for a ripper day out

If your idea of a perfect weekend is drifting down a sun-soaked creek, our recreational kayaks are your new best mate. These kayaks are built for stability and ease, meaning you won't spend your afternoon wobbling like a jelly on a plate. They are the ultimate all-rounders for the casual paddler who wants to explore the local reach or find a secret swimming hole that is tucked away from the crowds.

Fishing kayaks for the stealthy legends

For the legends who prefer the sound of a screaming drag to the hum of an engine, a fishing kayak is a total game changer. These rigs are purpose-built "stealth bombers" that let you sneak right into the mangroves where the big ones are waiting to pounce. With integrated rod holders and plenty of deck space for your gear, you can turn a quiet morning into a BCFing legendary haul.

Inflatable kayaks for the space-savers

Think you can't own a kayak because you are living in a unit or driving a hatchback? Modern inflatable kayak designs are tough as nails and fold down small enough to tuck under your bed or chuck in the boot. These aren't flimsy pool toys; they are made from heavy-duty, puncture-resistant gear that handles the Aussie scrub and salt like a pro. Just make sure you pack your gear into some dry bags to keep your phone and car keys safe while you are out exploring. When you are finished, an inflatable kayak simply deflates and tucks away in the cupboard until your next mission.

Kids kayaks for the little tackers

Don’t let the kids stay on the bank throwing rocks while you have all the fun. Our kids' kayaks are designed to be super stable and easy to steer, giving the little grommets the confidence to explore under their own steam. They are lightweight enough for the kids to help carry, providing hours of BCFing fun while you set up the campsite.

Kayak accessories to kit out your ride

A stock kayak is just the beginning; it’s the kayak accessories that turn it into a personalised adventure machine. Whether you need a high back seat for those all-day marathons or a kayak rack to get your gear to the water safely, we have the parts to trick out your ride. From waterproof cases to specialised mounts, these bits and pieces are what turn a good trip into a BCFing fun one.

Rigging up your fishing kayak

For the fishos, a dedicated fishing kayak is basically a stealth bomber for the water. You can sneak up on skittish bream or bass without the noise of an outboard motor ruining the vibe. Many of our pedal kayak models allow for hands free fishing, so you can keep your rod in your hand while you use your legs to hold your position against the breeze.

Customising your rig with kayak accessories is half the fun of owning one. You can mount fish finders to locate the schools or add extra rod holders to keep your options open. A well-set-up kayak turns a standard morning into a BCFing fun one where you are the master of your own destiny.
