At Liteyak, we believe that nature is an essential part of the human experience—even for those of us who live in bustling cities. Our mission is to make it easier for everyone to connect with the water, whether you're a seasoned adventurer or just looking for a new way to explore the world around you.

Inspired by the natural beauty of our surroundings, we draw from a wide range of influences. From the traditional craftsmanship of Chinese boatmaking to the intricate art of paper folding, we’ve combined these elements to create something entirely new: foldable, paper-fold kayak designs. Every detail in our kayaks is carefully crafted to offer a unique experience, one that feels both innovative and connected to centuries of tradition.

Our workshop is located in the heart of Hunan Province, right along the banks of the Yangtze River and beside the tranquil waters of Dongting Lake. This area, steeped in history and culture, offers us the perfect backdrop for creativity. Surrounded by lush landscapes and ancient waterways, we’re inspired every day by the beauty and simplicity of the natural world.

Though we’re a young company, our ambition is grand. But we’re not just dreamers—we’re hands-on makers who thrive on the energy of our team. Our headquarters is in a vibrant part of town, where creativity and innovation flow as freely as the rivers nearby. We’re close to the water, just as we are to the hearts of those who share our passion for adventure.

At Liteyak, we come from all walks of life, but we share a commitment to openness, sustainability, and creating something truly special. Together, we’re building more than just kayaks—we’re creating a new way to experience nature, one fold at a time.
