Top 10 Best "Rooftop Kayak Carrier" Products

The Thule 881 Top Deck Rooftop Saddle Kayak Carrier is perfect for those looking for a great alternative to full-feature kayak saddles. The Top Deck is a complete carrier that includes everything needed to transport a kayak safely and securely.

The Thule Top Deck Saddle firmly holds your kayak with custom-designed saddles that conform to the hull, and fits Thule standard and Xsporter load bars, as well as Yakima, and most factory-installed racks. These saddle kayak carriers provide maximum kayak protection and stability with integrated rubber pads, and virtually eliminate hot spots with their large contact surface area. A complete carrier for one boat, the Top Deck installs in just minutes, and includes four saddles, all the necessary mounting hardware, and heavy-duty straps, as well as providing additional safety via bow and stern tie downs.

Need an easy way to carry your kayak without breaking the bank? Turn to the Yakima LandShark saddles, which mount easily to round or square roof crossbars to carry a single kayak at a time. The contoured saddles fit most popular boats--with the exception of cruise ships, of course--with an extra-secure grip for peace of mind. More importantly, a set of four costs far less than most other kayak carriers, giving you a cost-efficient way to transport your boat to the river. Compatible with factory crossbars, the LandShark saddles carry a limited lifetime warranty.
