Thule 834 Hull-a-Port Kayak Carrier

Hit the water solo, without the struggle. The Thule 834 Hull-a-Port J-Style Kayak Carrier is built for paddlers who load up alone. Its wide-mouth J-profile lets you position your kayak on its side — saving precious roof space and making loading and unloading dramatically easier than traditional flat carriers. No second set of hands required.

Built with a durable steel frame and AllSurface rust-resistant coating, the Hull-a-Port stands up to saltwater, rain, and years of paddling adventures. The quick on/off hardware means you can install or remove the carrier in minutes when you need your roof space back, and the optimally sized design leaves room for additional Thule accessories like cargo boxes or bike racks.

Whether you're heading to the lake for the afternoon or road-tripping to distant rivers, this carrier handles kayaks up to 75 lbs and 36 inches wide with confidence. Includes all straps needed to secure your boat, with rubber-covered buckles that won't scratch your kayak or vehicle.
