The Ketch Kart: Built Like a Tank Not A Kayak Cart.

Let’s just call it like it is:
The Ketch Kart isn’t for everyone.

It’s overbuilt.
It’s arguably too durable.
And yes, it costs more than some people spend on their first kayak.
But there’s a reason for that and it’s not because we’re trying to price it like a boutique wine cart.

Why So Expensive?

Let’s start with the elephant in the garage: the price.

The Ketch Kart isn’t cheap. But it also isn’t cheaply made.

• It’s American-made, one unit at a time.

• It uses thick-wall anodized aluminum, not the soft stuff that folds up like a beach chair.

• Every piece is precision-machined and bolts together for strength and serviceability.

• We over-engineered it because we were tired of seeing carts fall apart halfway through a portage.

If you’re expecting something plastic, mass-produced, and imported in bulk, this ain’t it, not even a little bit.

You’re paying for a piece of equipment you’ll probably never need to replace.

Too Durable?

We’re not joking.

This thing has heft. It’s not the dainty little cart you toss in a hatch and forget about.
It’s beefy, solid, and built to handle serious weight, and whether that’s a fully rigged kayak or your buddy’s rig after his cart snapped 30 yards into the trail.

But with that strength comes weight, this cart isn’t light.
If you’re a minimalist or a backcountry ounce-counter, this might not be the one for you.

Not for Everyone

Let’s be real. Some paddlers don’t need a tank of a cart.

If you’re just rolling 50 feet from your truck to the ramp on flat pavement, a cheaper cart might do the job just fine and go get that cart, you don’t need this one.
The Ketch Kart really shines when you meet some of these situations:

• You’re hauling a 150+ lb rig solo.

• You fish remote waters and beat up your gear going over uneven terrain.

• You’re tired of replacing carts that “kinda worked” for one season.

It’s for the angler who’d rather buy it once, and never think about it again.

So Who’s It For?

• The heavy-duty kayak guy.

• The rig-it-and-send-it crew.

• The tournament angler dragging across gravel, grass, mud, roots, and shame.

• Anyone who’s broken one too many carts and finally said, “I want the last one I’ll ever need.”

What You Get

• A cart you don’t have to baby.

• Tires you can actually rely on.

• A frame that doesn’t care what you throw at it.

• A product that’s as stubborn and overbuilt as you are.

• A cart that’s not ever going to be called a “lightweight”.

Final Thoughts: We’re Not Sorry It’s Overkill

The Ketch Kart wasn’t built to be the cheapest option.
It was built to be the last option for some who really need it.

If you want something lighter or more affordable, there are plenty of other carts out there.
But if you want one cart that shows up every time and never complains, this one’s for you.
