Designed for multiple paddlers, the Liteyak Max is a folding tandem kayak that delivers exceptional performance and unmatched portability. We've made significant upgrades, adding extra-durable straps, buckles, and reinforced rails to securely hold all your gear. Paddle with family, friends, or even your dog—or convert it to a single kayak whenever you like. It’s the original origami kayak, offering limitless possibilities for every adventure.

Product Highlights

The Liteyak Max is a 490 cm (16'1") tandem kayak that folds down to a manageable box. Weighing just 18.6 kg (41 lbs), this origami kayak is half the weight of a traditional double kayak. It’s compact enough to store in your closet and transport in your car.

The Liteyak Max is the most stable kayak in our lineup — think of it as a solid platform for all kinds of on-water fun. Its universal rail track system can hold all kinds of accessories for fishing, photography, or just holding a cold beverage. It's a great boat for paddlers of all abilities and ages.

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 last. Whether sliding over rocks, bumping into obstacles, or folding it tens of thousands of times, these kayaks stand up to the challenge.
