EZ Launch Systems
Launching and docking your kayak or canoe has never been easier. EZ Dock’s EZ Launch® for Kayaks and EZ Launch Commercial systems give paddlers of every experience level, from first-timers to seasoned kayakers, a stable, secure way to get on and off the water. Whether you’re outfitting your own waterfront or a public launch point, an EZ Launch system helps you board, launch and land with more control and confidence, regardless of tide fluctuation or waves from wind and boat traffic.
For parks and recreation departments, marinas and other commercial waterfront sites, EZ Launch Commercial also offers accessible configurations that go beyond ADA accessibility guidelines, helping make boarding, launching and recovery easy for everyone.
EZ Dock works closely with multiple state and local purchasing cooperatives in the USA and Canada, including Sourcewell, Canoe, BuyBoard and others, to help eligible organizations streamline procurement. Ask your local EZ Dock dealer which cooperative purchasing options are available to you.

EZ Canoe and Kayak Launch System Features
Gone are the days of trying to steady your kayak or canoe while boarding and launching on moving water or shifting tides. Every EZ Launch system is built to make it simple to board, launch and exit your small watercraft:
- Floating platform: The launch base rises and falls with changing water levels, keeping your launch point stable and secure no matter the season.
- Long-lasting construction: Every EZ Launch is built from rotomolded polyethylene, so it won’t splinter, rot or hold heat, and it stands up to harsh weather with very little maintenance.
- Easy integration: Connects with your existing or future EZ Dock system for a complete waterfront layout.
EZ Launch: A one-piece design with built-in handholds and paddle notches, so you can pull yourself onto the launch or push off into the water — no stepping in required.
EZ Launch Commercial: Adds sturdy guide rails on both sides and integrated launch rollers, helping paddlers stay in control while boarding and launching at busy public sites.
EZ Launch Commercial Features for Universal Access
At EZ Dock, we understand the importance of creating accessible, easy-to-use docking and launching solutions, and we’re continually developing new ways to serve water enthusiasts of every ability. EZ Launch Commercial’s One-Way Accessible and Drive-Through Accessible configurations were the first ADA-focused kayak and canoe launches in the industry, giving individuals with disabilities a transfer system designed to exceed the minimum requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). With an easy-to-use transfer bench and transfer slide boards, users can sit, slide over and lower themselves into a kayak or canoe, then use durable side rails to pull off or push back on.
Every EZ Launch Commercial accessible configuration includes the following:
Transfer Bench
Our transfer benches come in two height options, so users can move easily and comfortably from a wheelchair into their vessel. Built-in handrails help keep users steady throughout the process.
Transfer slide boards are also available in two heights to fit different watercraft sizes, helping users move from the transfer bench into the kayak or canoe.
Overhead Grab Rail
The overhead grab rail gives users something to pull against, easing the transfer into a kayak or canoe.
EZ Dock works alongside you to design the best launch layout for your site and available space, including access points that meet and exceed ADA accessibility guidelines. We can configure EZ Launch Commercial systems for a variety of layouts, including multi-unit launches, and every EZ Launch system connects easily with your existing or future EZ Dock products for a complete waterfront system.
