About Us Kayacht began in early August of 2003 when we introduced a new invention to the public, the Kayacht bow-thruster electric kayak motor system. This system included a proprietary water-sealed, shock-absorbing, ultra-light motor mount that featured a custom converted Minnkota trolling motor as the power source. This invention not only allowed the addition of efficient electric power to virtually any sit-in kayak but also allowed the operator to sit back, relax and control the kayak comfortably and conveniently without having to reach behind his or her back to steer with a tiller arm. The resulting boats were fast and very maneuverable. For almost 5 years, this system was offered as both a complete kayak and as a kit for converting virtually any sit-in kayak to electric propulsion. Interest was very high. For many fans, this has come to be known as the "Blue Kayak" since that is the color of the prototype that was proudly shown for years on this web site. Over the years Kayacht.com grew to become the #1 Electric Kayak site on Google. Previously we had turned down a large partnering and stock offer from one of the largest electric vehicle sites on the web and we even passed on a large spot on a National TV show that wanted to do a story on us. At that time there was just no way for us to handle the number of orders that would likely be generated from that kind of mass exposure so we respectfully declined. In early 2008 we agreed to be interviewed for a story and in February of 2008, Kayacht was featured in Gizmag. Since that time a very important opportunity came our way in mid 2008, an opportunity to bring the Johnson Escape Touring Boat to the general public, so we placed the kayak motor kit portion of the business on hold to focus on this challenging task. Before working with Kayacht, Johnson Outdoors had focused their efforts regarding this boat mostly on commercial sales to resorts, theme parks and other commercial businesses. Kayacht has been the first to pave the way towards seriously bringing this outstanding complete turnkey electric kayak to the general public without neglecting commercial sales. The Escape Touring Boat has been so successful for us that we acquired the entire line outright from Johnson including all boat inventory, parts and molds and we are now the new manufacturer. We are manufacturing new Touring Boats this season under the Kayacht(TM) brand. We are also the sole provider of warranty service and parts for the Escape version of this boat as well. The Kayacht Touring 130 now comes in new colors and replaces the Johnson Escape Touring Boat previously sold by Kayacht. Kayacht is now the world's only source for the manufacturing of this fine watercraft. We feel this is an excellent advancement for the Kayacht brand. Kayacht is committed to providing high quality production and support of the Touring 130 as well as bringing future innovations to the product line. Kayacht also recently acquired the Escape Fun Boat and Escape Chaise Lounger lines as well and we plan to not only continue these wonderful lines for years to come, but to manufacture new variations of these models as well.
