  • A flotilla on your roof! This is the best multi-Kayak carrier on the market!
After some extensive comparisons, I can tell you that if your goal is to maximize roof rack space and carry as much as possible safely, the nautic stack is where it's at. The design features the same simple carriage bolts + under-rack plates as other competitors, but the footprint (width) on the rack is only ~4 inches, allowing you to maximize space. Additionally, because it allows the boats to rest on their side directly on your racks, it does not add unnecessary height. Finally, the simple loop design at the top is the easiest for threading straps. This design allows us to put a hardshell carrier and 2 kayaks easily, or 2 kayaks and a bike carriers, or a wide canoe and 2 kayaks, or 4 kayaks if we needed to. The versatility is awesome. Compared to the nautic stack, which can accommodate up to 4 kayaks on their sides, J style carriers are expensive and you will have trouble getting more than two boats on. Other stackers take up more space on the bar (boo) or unnecessarily raise your boats even higher up. A final added bonus is the light weight (8 pounds for 2) of this set. ... show more

  • This is the one
If only I had purchased this rack first. This is your answer to carrying more than 2 kayaks on a car. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek and these racks will hold at least three (probably four) kayaks easily. Sturdy and very easy to use as well. No fuss, all business.

  • Wish I had these years ago!
These are the 3rd pair of kayak carriers I have owned and they will be the last. They installed very easily on 2 separate cars that I have used to transport my kayaks. We took 4 kayaks on a 8hour road trip (each way) and not once did the kayaks move or even shake. We have also transported just 2 kayaks as well on shorter trips and can't believe each time how fast we get them loaded and secured. Every time we stop anywhere we are asked about the racking system and where we found it. We have yet to steer anyone away from getting these as they really are a great product at a great price. ... show more

  • Easy to install and sturdy
This stacker was easy to install and held 3 kayaks with no problem. The kayaks pictured include one tandem and 2 singles. The straps were easy to use and held securely.

We have 5 people in our family and we got all 5 kayaks on the roof with this. Very impressed.
