Designed for maximum hull protection, easy loading, and universal roof rack compatibility, the Nautic 570 is one of the most versatile kayak carriers available for overland rigs, SUVs, trucks, and adventure vehicles.

Whether you're heading to the lake for a weekend paddle session or hauling gear across the country for your next outdoor adventure, the Nautic 570 delivers a stable and secure transport solution engineered to protect your kayak during highway travel, rough roads, and changing weather conditions.

Universal Roof Rack Compatibility

The included mounting hardware allows the carrier to clamp directly onto a wide range of aftermarket and factory crossbars, or bolt into our Rebel Off road XPLOR bed rack by using our top channels, or the addition of carrier plates (typically bolted to the sides).

Compatible with:

• XPLOR Bed Racks

180-Degree Rotating Cradle Design

One of the standout features of the Nautic 570 is the integrated 180-degree rotating cradle system. This innovative design allows the carrier to pivot for easier side loading while conforming naturally to the shape of your kayak hull.

Benefits include:

• Easier loading and unloading
• Better hull support
• Improved stability during transport
• Reduced pressure points on the kayak
• Faster tie-down setup

The rotating cradle system is ideal for solo loading and helps reduce the risk of damaging your kayak during installation.
