Kayak Fishing Stuff’s Frequently Asked Questions

Yes we can! We have shipped kayaks all over the country and offer terminal to terminal delivery for less than $60.00. We also offer commercial and residential delivery to most areas in the US. You can get your kayak rigged the way you want and purchase any accessories for about the price of what sales tax would have cost you. Please refer to the Shipping Page for more info.

This is a very rare occurrence. We package kayaks in such a way that they are very protected, but accidents can happen. At KFS we do whatever it takes to keep our customers happy. Kayaks can get scratched and scraped during the shipping processs, but these minor cuts pose no structural threat to the kayak. Kayaks are very tough and you will have many scratches and scrapes after your first day on the water. We recommend that you inspect your kayak at the time of pick up or delivery. If there is a serious problem it should be recorded by the delivery driver or warehouse personel.

We sell Thule and Yakima systems but some people already have factory or other after-market racks which only need accessories like cradles or pads to carry their kayak. We strongly recommend calling us to discuss the best way to transport a kayak or multiple kayaks on your vehicle. Very often people buy expensive rack systems only to find out that they only needed a very simple set-up or even worse-they didn’t need a rack system at all.

We do sometimes have used kayaks and demos that we sell at a discount. You should check the Hot Deals page.

No, those are the kayaks we feel fish the best, but we can order in any models from Hobie, Native Watercraft, Heritage, Ocean Kayak, Malibu, Wilderness Systems, and Liquid Logic. We will take special orders but they have to be paid in full before we will place an order from the manufacturer.

We do take trade-in’s but you will lose some money off the original value of the kayak because we are now getting a used kayak back and will have to resell it at a reduced price.

We offer 15% off on Safety Items, Seats, Paddles and Kayak carts purchased with a new kayak . We also send out email promotions and coupons periodically to everybody who signs up for the Mailing List

Sure, we charge a very reasonable hourly rate for rigging.

Absolutely, we are more than happy to help. When we're not in the shop the best place to find the answers to your questions is the online Do-it-Yourself Forum.

We currently work with kayak fishing guides from around the country that offer trips to great kayak fishing destinations.

Private demos can be arranged weather permitting - all you need to do is contact the shop 973-659-1114 and we can arrange to take you to a lake near the KFS store (please call at least one week in advance to make an appointment)
