Get Kayaktive was founded by longtime paddler and outfitter, Al Privette and is located in Oriental, NC, a small village on the shores of the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound. Surrounded by countless miles of water trails in Pamlico County, Al sought new ways of making the wondrous sport of kayaking more convenient for novice paddlers and those with physical limitations. After extensive research and development, the highly acclaimed line of Get Kayaktive products were born.

Get Kayaktive offers a line of patented equipment that makes moving and launching a kayak much easier for those who not only travel with their kayak but those who lack a beach to launch from. This ingenious system now makes kayaking a reality for those who thought they could not participate in this exciting sport.
