our story
Meet Michael Carey, founder and owner of Mocean Kayaks and Canoes. After over 30 years in the construction field, developing hundreds of apartments, condos, homes, and communities, Michael hung up his nail bags for the last time in 2019.
The idea of thermoforming an outrigger canoe had been on his mind for several years at this point and he knew now was the time to make things happen. No one had thermoformed an outrigger canoe out of plastic, and he was determined to be the first.
At Mocean Kayaks and Canoes, we are proud to bring a fresh wave of heart and innovation to the world of paddlesports. Located just outside Anacortes Washington, we specialize in thermoform kayaks and canoes that combine cutting-edge design with exceptional craftsmanship. While Mocean as a company is new to the industry, our team boasts over 50 years of experience in thermoform kayak manufacturing, allowing us to create products that stand out in quality and performance.
Our Founder, Michael Carey, established Mocean after a meeting with Tom Derrer, the founder of Eddyline Kayaks, in 2016 with the idea of thermoforming an outrigger canoe. Just as in the early days of paddlesports, Tom openly shared knowledge and invited Michael to come back when he had a boat design and mold. Michael set off with his vision to re-imagine watercraft design and deliver something the market hasn’t seen before.
We work with a seasoned designer who brings nearly 20 years of experience and collaborations with eight leading companies in the paddling industry. Our team of craftsman are all experts in the production of thermal formed kayaks and bring with them years of experience for each step of our manufacturing. This team has allowed us to create products that truly set a new benchmark in the market and have made us a vetern company even though we are new to the market.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility spans over 8,000 square feet and is equipped with advanced tools like a 5-axis CNC machine and two thermoforming ovens. This technology enables us to design and produce every component to the highest standards in-house.
We are committed to hearing the needs and aspiration of our dealers and paddlers and our business will be built around your business. We’re going “new school” with our technology and “old school” with how we treat our dealers and paddlers.
Every Mocean kayak and canoe is assembled by hand, ensuring meticulous attention to detail. We take immense pride in saying that our products are made in the USA, combining precision manufacturing with heartfelt craftsmanship.
