The Yakima JayHook is a pair of J-style kayak carriers for holding a kayak on its side on your vehicle's roof rack. The JayHook is designed to carry all types of kayaks, from whitewater to recreational to touring, including tandems. Each JayHook set contains two J-style cradles, one for each of your vehicle's crossbars.

Simple side loading

After lifting your kayak up into the cradles, you will use the included heavy duty straps with rubberized cam buckle protectors to tie the boat down from the top of the JayHook back around your crossbars. The included bow/stern tie-downs are used to secure the kayak at the front and back of your vehicle.

Great for saving space on the crossbar

Compared to flat style kayak carriers, upright kayak carriers like the JayHook are ideal for saving space on your crossbars. This is perfect for carrying multiple kayaks at once, or a kayak next to a cargo box, bikes, or anything else.

Includes all the straps you need

Yakima includes two pairs of straps with the JayHook - two heavy duty nylon straps with rubberized pull-tight cam buckles for over top of the boat, and two pull-tight nylon straps for the bow and stern tie-down. This four point attachment system is recommended regardless of the length of your boat. If your vehicle does not have existing easily accessible front and rear tie down points to secure the bow and stern of the boat, you can use either the Yakima Anchor Strap Kit or the Thule 529 Hood Loop for the front tie down point, and/or the Thule 530 Quick Loop for the back tie down point (all sold separately).

Universal mounting hardware

Yakima designed the JayHook with universal attachment hardware that can be installed on most round, square, aerodynamic, and factory crossbars right out of the box. The JayHook is an "always up" type of kayak carrier. If you need to get into a tight parking space, the JayHook comes off reasonably quickly using the wingnut and carriage bolt hardware. For a good foldable carrier option, check out the Yakima JayLow folding kayak carrier.
