YAKIMA KeelOver: Our Go-To Canoe Rack for Easy Adventures

After testing numerous canoe racks over the years, we’ve finally found our perfect match with the YAKIMA KeelOver. This rooftop mounted rack has become our trusted companion for weekend paddling trips. What impressed us most was how securely it holds a single canoe while still being remarkably easy to load and unload.

The padded saddles cradle the hull perfectly, eliminating worries about damage during transport, while the sturdy straps keep everything locked down even on bumpy backroads. We’ve found the installation process straightforward-it fits seamlessly with our existing crossbars.

For those who venture out frequently, the convenience factor cannot be overstated. The KeelOver’s thoughtful design means less struggling in parking lots and more time enjoying the water. If you’re looking for reliability without complexity, this rack has earned our wholehearted recommendation.
