Nelson Wooden Boats will build the right kayak for you. We offer a range of models for the day paddler, the expedition paddler, the fisherman, or the racer. Your kayak is built especially for you, for your height and weight, and for your needs, whether you want to picnic on a remote beach on a Sunday afternoon, paddle the Chesapeake Bay for a month, or compete for gold in the next Olympics. Our well proven Lynnhaven model, built in lengths from 14 to 18 feet is our most popular design. We can also build to your own (or someone else’s) design.
