Built with experience. Designed with purpose.
Mocean Kayaks & Canoes is a growing Pacific Northwest manufacturer located just outside Anacortes, Washington. We launched our first kayaks for the 2025 season with a small lineup, an extremely experienced production team, and a pretty straightforward philosophy:
Build exceptional boats, listen to our dealers and paddlers, and don’t compromise on quality.
Two years later, that philosophy hasn’t changed. But Mocean certainly has grown.
How Mocean Began
Meet Michael Carey, the founder of Mocean Kayaks and Canoes. After more than 30 years building homes, communities, and a career in construction, Michael set down his tools in 2019 to follow a different calling. For years, the idea of thermoforming an outrigger canoe had been taking shape in his mind. No one had ever done it in plastic, and he was determined to be the first.
That vision sparked the creation of Mocean Kayaks and Canoes, where innovation meets tradition on the waters of the Pacific Northwest. Based just outside Anacortes, Washington, our company brings a fresh wave of creativity to paddlesports. While Mocean is new, our team carries more than 50 years of collective experience in thermoformed kayak manufacturing. The result is watercraft that blend advanced design, superior craftsmanship, and outstanding performance.
EXPERIENCE BEHIND EVERY BOAT
While the Mocean name is relatively new to paddlesports, the experience behind our boats is not. Our team brings more than 50 years of combined thermoforming experience, along with decades of boat design and paddlesports knowledge.That experience matters.
Every Mocean kayak is thermoformed and hand-assembled by our team here in Washington State. From the forming and trimming to outfitting and final inspection, we put tremendous importance on the details.
We don’t add features simply to make a longer list on a hangtag. Everything on a Mocean kayak has a purpose.
It’s an approach we sum up simply:
Craftsmanship. Reliability. Performance. No Compromises.
Made in the USA
Our 18,000-square-foot facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a 5-axis CNC machine and dual thermoforming ovens. This allows us to design and manufacture each component in-house to the highest standards. Yet even with all this innovation, we remain rooted in an “old school” commitment: listening to the needs of our dealers and paddlers and building lasting relationships through trust and respect.
Every Mocean kayak and canoe is assembled by hand with meticulous attention to detail. Made in the USA, our boats embody both the precision of modern engineering and the craftsmanship of a team that truly loves what they do.
