“After a lot of research on similar looking kayaks, I picked Bay and the product is clearly superior. I collected mine as I am local, but their postage rates Australia wide are really reasonable. Can't recommend the guys at Bay Kayaks more."

“I've been searching around online for a sit on kayak for the whole family, I came across Bay Sports and the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. I must say the quality of the kayak was noticeably better than the one I saw in Anaconda, and the price was comparable. Will be recommending friends and family your way! Thank you again"
