description Thule Hull-a-Port Rooftop Kayak Carrier Overview
The Thule Hull-a-Port is a J-shaped rooftop carrier designed to transport a single kayak on a compatible vehicle roof-rack system. Its angled supports hold the kayak on its side, preserving more crossbar space than a flat carrier, while padded contact surfaces help protect the hull. The system uses separate bow and stern tie-downs and is intended for paddlers who need a removable carrier rather than weather-protected storage.
help Thule Hull-a-Port Rooftop Kayak Carrier FAQ
Does the Thule Hull-a-Port carrier fit on all car roof racks?
The Hull-a-Port is designed with universal mounting hardware that fits most factory crossbars and aftermarket racks from Thule and Yakima. It easily clamps directly onto square, round, or aerodynamic bars without requiring extra tools.
Can the Thule Hull-a-Port carry two kayaks at the same time?
While the carrier is incredibly sturdy, a single Hull-a-Port set is designed to support only one kayak cradled safely on its side. If you want to transport two kayaks simultaneously, you will need to purchase two complete Hull-a-Port carrier sets.
Will my kayak sit on its side or flat with the Thule Hull-a-Port?
The Hull-a-Port holds the kayak securely on its side, which actually saves valuable crossbar space for other gear like bikes or cargo boxes. This vertical carrying position is highly recommended for narrow vehicles with short rooflines.
Does the Thule Hull-a-Port come with tie-down straps?
Yes, the carrier comes complete with heavy-duty ratcheting tie-down straps to secure the hull of the kayak to the J-cradles. It also includes sturdy bow and stern tie-down straps to safely anchor the ends of the kayak to your vehicle.
