BerleyPro: Precision-Engineered Protection for Your Kayak

BerleyPro is an industry leader in kayak accessories, trusted by paddlers and anglers worldwide for their innovation, craftsmanship, and dedication to quality. Based in Australia and built by passionate kayak fishermen, BerleyPro was founded out of necessity—to solve real-world problems on the water. Today, their range of premium kayak products continues to evolve, delivering solutions that enhance performance, protect gear, and extend the life of your investment.

One of BerleyPro’s standout offerings is their kayak keel guard—a purpose-built solution designed to protect one of the most vulnerable parts of your kayak: the keel. Whether you're dragging your boat to and from the water, beach launching, or navigating shallow, rocky terrain, your keel takes a beating over time. Without protection, repeated abrasion can wear through the plastic, leading to leaks, structural issues, and costly repairs. That's where BerleyPro steps in.

Why BerleyPro Keel Guards Stand Out

BerleyPro keel guards are engineered with high-quality marine-grade plastic that’s incredibly tough, UV resistant, and specifically molded to match the contours of leading kayak brands like Hobie, Old Town, Native Watercraft, and more. These aren’t generic, one-size-fits-all strips—they’re model-specific guards that integrate seamlessly with your kayak's hull for a clean, factory-style look.

Each keel guard is CNC-machined and thermoformed to ensure a precise fit. The form-fitting design means they install easily with marine-grade adhesive and hardware, creating a permanent shield without compromising hydrodynamics. Once installed, you can confidently drag or land your kayak on sand, concrete, rocks, or oyster beds—areas that would normally cause excessive wear.

Key Benefits of BerleyPro Keel Guards:

• Impact & Abrasion Protection: The toughest part of your kayak now has an extra layer of defense. BerleyPro keel guards take the hits so your hull doesn't have to.

• Model-Specific Design: Designed to contour perfectly to your kayak’s hull. No trimming or bending required.

• Long-Term Durability: Made from UV-resistant plastic that won’t degrade over time, even in harsh marine environments.

• Hydrodynamic Shape: Keeps drag to a minimum and won't affect the performance or tracking of your kayak.

• Easy Installation: Comes with mounting hardware and detailed instructions. Install once and forget it—your keel is protected for years.

A Must-Have for Kayak Anglers and Adventurers

For kayak anglers, the launch and landing zones are often rugged. Whether it's rocky riverbanks, barnacle-covered shorelines, or gravel launches, these areas are tough on gear. A BerleyPro keel guard eliminates the worry of damaging your kayak every time you get in or out of the water. It’s an affordable way to protect a much more expensive investment.

For paddlers who transport their kayak frequently—especially those who drag it from car to launch—keel wear is inevitable. BerleyPro's guard acts like a set of armor, making dragging safer and protecting resale value.

Built by Kayakers, for Kayakers

What sets BerleyPro apart is their deep understanding of the kayak community. Their products are born from personal experience and field-tested by real anglers and paddlers. Every item is made with care in their Australian facility, ensuring consistent quality and a true passion behind the brand.

From transducer mounts and steering upgrades to lighting solutions and kayak organizers, BerleyPro continues to push the envelope in innovation. But their keel guards remain a cornerstone of their lineup—a small product that delivers big protection.

Protect Your Investment the Right Way

A kayak is more than just a boat—it’s a gateway to adventure. Don’t let unnecessary damage shorten its life. A BerleyPro keel guard is an easy upgrade that provides lasting protection, peace of mind, and rugged confidence whether you're exploring your local waters or venturing far off the beaten path.
