Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Mako saddles are designed for stability and protection of sea kayaks, recreational and whitewater boats. (Sorry to disappoint those of you who saw the name and figured they were for riding sharks.)

Amazon.com Product Description:
Tired of pain-in-the-rear kayak carriers that take up a ton of space while functioning poorly? Turn to the Yakima Mako Saddles rooftop kayak carrier, which employs a scoop-shaped cradle design that fits virtually any hull shape. Suitable for sea kayaks, recreational kayaks, and whitewater boats, the carrier includes a set of Dynaflex pads that grip the boat hull securely, along with a tightening strap that gives you complete control over the grip. The padded buckle, meanwhile, protects both your boat and your vehicle from unsightly scratches.

Thanks to the bundled bow/stern tie-down straps, your kayak will stay incredibly stable whether you're cruising down a country road or a busy highway. An ideal companion for Yakima's HullyRollers or Multimount accessories, the carrier works with round, square, and most factory crossbars (the latter requires the Multimounts) and carries a one-year warranty.

Yakima mako saddles adjust to many different hull shapes, hold the boat very securely and provide a bit of cushion for the boat over bumps. I have used these saddles on several different fiberglass ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Secure but cumbersome.
Purchased two sets of Yakima Mako Saddles to hold our two touring kayaks on top of our Yakima round bars. After several trips with our kayaks in the saddle we find that they hold the kayaks securely even at 70 mph.

I would give these saddles five stars if they were simpler to mount and dismount from the bars. Each saddle is secured by FOUR wing nut bolts. Before each trip I must position all four saddles (two per kayak) and secure SIXTEEN wing nuts. Then I must thread the straps through the ... Read More
