The heart and soul of a Necky kayak is its bomb-proof, high-performance hull. Our advanced composite fiberglass hulls set the high-end standard in the kayak industry, while the remarkably affordable Necky polyethylene hulls are second to none in design, performance and material.
In our Advanced Composite (ac) fiberglass kayaks, materials are layered with a core added between layers in specific areas to increase the overall stiffness. The result is a lighter yet stronger kayak that can endure more impact.
Working with experts in both the aerospace and yacht industries using aircraft-grade materials, Necky has produced laminates that yield kayaks significantly stronger, stiffer and lighter than anything else on the market.
Our polymer kayaks are constructed from superlinear polyethylene, an excellent material to build kayaks with for one fundamental reason: bomb-proof durability.
This starts with material choices. As a pioneer in the art of rotomolding sea kayaks, Necky has vast experience in drawing on the inherent qualities of polyethylene. Our careful application of technology creates drier, stronger boats that perform year after year under the most grueling conditions. And we don't rest until we create the best performance platform for each model's intended use, resulting in beautifully efficient kayaks of startling durability at a highly affordable price.
