About Långholmen kayak

Långholmen kayak was founded in 2012 as a kayak rental on Långholmen in Stockholm and since then has had a simple vision - to make the water in Stockholm and around Sweden available to as many people as possible. In the spring of 2012, Daniel, a resident of Reimersholme near Långholmen, had a great urge to get out on the water and take part in the beautiful Pålsund Canal. As someone who grew up by the water up in Piteå in Norrbotten, Daniel saw it as a matter of course and a necessity to be able to get out on the water and enjoy a few hours in simple ways. The lack of an easily accessible way to get out on the water and with a strong conviction that more people in the area shared this need, made Daniel, together with his wife Samra and brother Anton, start their own kayak rental - Långholmen kayak. Today, we are passionate about giving other people the opportunity to get out into nature in general and on the water in particular, to give people a break from everyday life and in the long run contribute to people's increased health and well-being. We believe that the combination of nature experience and healthy exercise you get through kayaking is the ultimate way to increase your well-being. For us, the nature experience comes first, and the gadgets second. We therefore want to make Sweden's water available by offering the best possible products to get the greatest possible value out of the nature experience, without them costing more than necessary. We therefore offer a large range of kayaks, SUPs and accessories, suitable for all levels of paddlers, for both rental and sale.

Havspaddeln - a brand developed by Långholmen kayak

Having operated the kayak rental business for a few years, we had tried kayaks from many of the major suppliers. However, we quickly realized that it cost more than it tasted, and we lacked the ability to put into practice the valuable feedback we received from our renters regarding the kayaks' functions and features. We wanted to have the opportunity to be involved and influence and develop the kayaks to suit our customer group in the best way (beginner to intermediate paddlers). After intensively searching for a kayak manufacturer that wanted to meet our needs, a couple of years later we had found a factory where we had the opportunity to design the kayaks' design, quality, and other characteristics. Today we manufacture about 15 kayak models and even more kayak accessories - all under our brand Havspaddeln. Simple, stylish and durable high-density plastic kayaks with a focus on high functionality at a good price.
