Testimonials from Yak-A-Launcher™ Users

We got one dry spell yesterday, put the launcher together, and set off. I own the water!!! Thank you, thank you. It worked perfectly, both getting in and getting out. These old knees really appreciate that little boost from the hand rail above.

What I really want to say is how beautifully it is designed and executed. The materials are top grade and the fit of everything is solid and water-tight. It was reassuring to see the quality of the parts as we unpacked them; even better to see how well it went together, and how well it worked!

Your instructions booklet was a real help. Best assembly instructions I've ever seen with all the pictures, captions, and tips. You are a perfectionist.

It's is a good thing it is raining, otherwise you'd have to wait and wait to hear from me. I love being back on the water.

Thank you. It has been a pleasure. I've loved your emails, and your launcher is perfect. What more can I say? You're better than Santa Claus.

Best regards.

"I want to thank you for your prompt and courteous service during our purchases, assemblies and installation of our Kayak Launcher and Roll Aid. This equipment has made it easy for the initiated and our uninitiated guests to enter, exit and to store our kayaks. The system is well designed, highly functional and durable. "

"I do want to say how much I LOVE the launcher!!  I have used it several times already this week and I have used it 100% by myself with no issues at all!!!  We actually took Drew out kayaking….which, since he doesn’t have good use of his right arm/hand means that Wade put him in the front of our 2 person kayak and paddled him around.  Drew was able to step down onto the floating dock, over onto the launcher and climb into the kayak with no assistance!  And no tripping!   Your invention is the best!!  Our neighbors came over to observe it in use and were also very impressed.  Thank you so very much for the independence that you have given me!

Happy launching indeed!  I cannot tell you how much I enjoy kayaking and how much the anxiety of the launch process just put a damper on my enthusiasm and caused me to almost dread going!!  Now I have nothing but positive anticipation of getting to use my new launcher!!!  Thanks also for the paddling tips!  I have noticed a big difference in cutting the strokes down to stay at “hip level”….and I have been playing with the turns too!  I have told all of my friends about the launcher and they are all looking forward to checking it out.

Thanks again, my new best friend!!!"

"We have a kayak rental and tour service on Bald Head Island, NC where we have been using our Yak-a-launcher for 4 years to help our customers get in and out of the kayaks.  This launching device in particular fits our needs perfectly because it is light and portable enough to take out of the water daily while still sturdy enough for years of commercial use/abuse.  We just ordered and received a new launcher and could not be happier with the product and customer service.  Thanks so much!"

Thanks. We had a lot of company these last few weeks and everyone loved using the Yak-A-Lancher. Even folks who were new to kayaking enjoyed the launcher and it took a lot of the “fear” out of trying. Thanks for the best new addition to our watersport enjoyment!

"We had a complete novice that had never been in a kayak before launch and land with no problem at all. My wife's cousin is a US Parks Ranger and was so excited that this would answer a problem that one of his kayak concession owners is having with getting novice kayakers on and off the dock in times when there is no beach to land on. I can say that all were impressed with the launcher, especially me. It worked perfectly."

My wife and I would like to express our gratitude for the excellent service and attention to business we were provided by Al Privette.  Our purchase of his Yak-A-Lancher was truly a pleasant experience. His desire to provide us with the right product to meet our needs as well as follow up service as needed is a rare find in today’s business world. Between the positive attitude, the quality of product and customer support from almost 3000 miles away via e-mail convinced us that Al is truly dedicated to his products and customers.
