EZ Kayak & Canoe Launches

Enjoy Paddling Anywhere

Ever struggled with launching your kayak from traditional docks? You’re not alone! We get it — wrestling your kayak onto a shaky dock can be a real headache. Most docks are built for larger watercraft, making it a challenge to get in and out of a kayak or canoe. 

With EZ Dock’s kayak dock launch systems, those worries are a thing of the past. As fellow kayakers ourselves, we understand the importance of stability, convenience and safety when it comes to launching.

That’s why EZ Dock’s floating kayak launch systems are designed with you in mind. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or just dipping your toes into the kayaking world, having a reliable kayak launch dock can make all the difference in your experience on the water.

How EZ Dock Launch Works

EZ Launch can be easily incorporated into any EZ Dock configuration, allowing for various waterfront arrangements based on your needs and preferences. Our kayak launch system is easy to use for both experienced and novice kayakers. To get started, carry your kayak out to the launch and set it in the V-shaped funnel. Once your kayak is in the launch area, you can safely enter your kayak without getting wet or worrying about the boat floating away. 

Once seated in your kayak, you’ll use your paddle to pull yourself into the water. The paddle notches along the sides of the launch allow you to effectively pull yourself and your kayak into and out of the water. To enter the launch from the water, simply paddle up to the entry, secure your paddle into the notches and pull to slide your kayak out of the water. Once your kayak is back in the launch, you can safely exit your kayak directly on the dock.

With kayak storage straps, you can even use EZ Launch to store your kayak, making it even easier to take your paddle craft out on a whim.

While it is easy to use, safety is still important to consider when using our kayak launch dock system. Because the kayak launch becomes part of your floating dock, you should keep dock safety in mind when using this component. Here are some safety tips to follow when using EZ Launch Residential with your floating dock:

  • Keep the dock and launch free of hazards: All docking systems and related parts should be kept clear of potential hazards. Equipment, ropes and other obstacles laying on the dock or launch can easily become tripping hazards.
  • Ensure proper connection: When installing the kayak launch for docks, ensuring a proper connection between the launch and dock is crucial to safe use. 
  • Add accessories as needed: Accessories like handrails and skid bunks can further add to the safe use of EZ Launch. Consider adding them for more accessibility and safety.

EZ Launch Features for Universal Access

Our award-winning accessibility standards have enabled us to create the first ADA accessible launches on the market. Every EZ Launch System has the following options available:

  • A transfer bench: Our transfer benches have two different height options, so users can move easily and comfortably from a wheelchair into their vessel. Built-in handrails allow users to remain steady throughout the process.
  • Transfer slide boards: Transfer slide boards with two heights for differing watercraft sizes will help users move from the transfer bench to the kayak or canoe.
  • A railing system: EZ Launch has a built-in railing system for maximum slide board stabilization and transfer support, allowing for easy side movement.

EZ Dock is here to work alongside you to create the best launch system layout for your needs and available space, including launch access points that meet and exceed ADA accessibility standards. We can configure EZ Launch Systems to suit a variety of configurations, including multi-unit launches. Our kayak and canoe launches are also easy to connect and integrate with existing or future EZ Dock products for ultimate efficiency.
