About Perception Kayaking

Passion has always been the driving force at Perception a passion for paddling; a passion for design and a passion for producing exceptional kayaks.

In the 70's we pioneered the plastic kayak and since then we've led the industry with innovations that have opened the sport to new Paddlers and expanded the capabilities of experienced Paddlers. It was over 30 years ago when a few passionate souls thought that they could produce a better boat. Today that same passion drives us to produce the best boats available and has made us one of the world's leading kayak brands.

We care about creating the best for our customers: the safest and best experience on the water, the best range of boats and accessories that suit the purpose they're used for. We're committed to keep making our boats better: continually evolving the design and its detailing, exploring ways to make exploring water better, safer, more fun. We are a friendly, diverse and spread out community of paddlers: serious, exploring, risk taking, fun loving people, who love being out on the water.

We pay careful attention to detail and everything is carefully and thoughtfully crafted. From the length of a paddle to the curve on a kayak, each detail is thought through in order to see how it can best support the paddler and keep him or her safe.
