Kayak Reseller Program: Partner with Rivara Kayak

Rivara Kayak works with people who already have a way to reach paddlers: shop owners, creators, club leaders, lodge and campground operators, and online sellers who want to add water sports to what they offer. Our kayak reseller program is built for that kind of partner. You present the boats, you guide the customer, and each order is fulfilled and shipped to the buyer without passing through your hands. Fill in the application below and we will reply by email.

What You Can Offer Your Customers

The range is intentionally compact so that you can know every product well. It is organized into three groups, and you can feature the ones that match your audience.

• Tandem kayaks: a sit-on-top tandem for shared outings on calm water and a longer sit-in tandem for two.
• Touring and modular kayaks: a rotomolded sea touring kayak for longer days and a two-piece modular kayak for tight storage.
• Fishing kayaks: two sit-on-top fishing platforms in compact and longer lengths.

How Your Business Fits In

Our partners tend to fall into a few familiar groups, and each uses the range a little differently.

• Online stores add a paddle sports section that sits comfortably next to camping, garden and outdoor living products.
• Creators and publishers recommend the boats they feature and give their audience a place to buy them.
• Local shops offer boats without turning their floor space over to long hulls.
• Lodging and tour operators serve guests who ask where they can buy the boat they just enjoyed.
• Club and community leaders point members toward equipment they can trust.

How Orders Work

When your customer buys, the order is fulfilled and shipped directly to them. What matters most is the habit of answering questions quickly and describing products honestly, because that is where reseller relationships are won. If you want to see the whole journey, our walkthrough of an order from checkout to first paddle explains each stage.

What Happens After You Apply

1. We read your application. We look at your business, your audience and how you plan to sell.
2. We reply by email. If your plans suit the program, we continue the conversation there.
3. Program details are shared with approved applicants. This includes ordering and support information, discussed directly with you.
4. You build your presentation. You prepare your product pages and content, and begin sharing the range.

The application is free, and submitting it does not obligate you to anything.

Who Tends to Succeed

The partners who do best share a few habits. They know the range well enough to suggest the right boat, they are open about what each boat can and cannot do, and they stay in touch with customers after the sale. They also encourage responsible paddling: properly fitted life jackets, awareness of weather and water conditions and a gradual approach for beginners. If that sounds like you, we would like to hear from you.
