Elite

The Liteyak Elite is designed for fun, stable, and relaxed paddling. Our latest model is even simpler to assemble and use. With its stable hull shape and spacious cockpit, the Liteyak Elite is perfect for beginners, offering ease of use without sacrificing speed or agility. Whether you're heading out for day trips, picnics, or leisurely paddles on calm waters, this is the perfect kayak for the occasion.

Product Highlights

The Liteyak Elite is a 368 cm (12'1") origami open-cockpit kayak that folds down to the size of a couch cushion. Weighing just 11.3 kg (25 lbs), it’s half the weight of a traditional kayak. Compact enough to store in your trunk, closet, boat, or garage, it’s perfect for those on the go. 

Designed for smooth, calm water, the Liteyak Elite features a large, open cockpit—ideal for paddling with a dog, small child, or a cooler for fishing. It’s stable with excellent tracking, making it perfect for first-time paddlers and beginners. But it’s sporty enough for experienced kayakers as well.

Durability

Our boats are lightweight yet incredibly strong. Crafted from 5 mm double-layered, custom-extruded polypropylene with a 10-year UV treatment, Liteyak Kayaks are puncture and abrasion resistant, built to withstand rough conditions. Whether gliding over rocks, bumping into obstacles, or folding it tens of thousands of times, this kayak is built to last.
