No roof racks, no stress – just you and the water. Lightweight, compact, and ready to go in 3 minutes. As a robust all-rounder in the VIK series, the VIK 3.8 ULTRA combines mobility with true performance. As sturdy as a hard-shell kayak with the flexibility of a folding kayak.
In our Berlin production, we use recycled polypropylene hollow chamber sheets and a coating of ultra-water-repellent textile fabric. The result: a folding kayak that, weighing 11 kg, fits on your back as a backpack, but is as stable and robust on the water as a hard-shell boat.
Whether city waters or secluded lakes – the VIK is your durable companion.
Evening rides in the city, extended day tours, camping and vanlife adventures, plane trips to distant coasts, or spontaneous trips by train and car. No matter. The VIK 3.8 Ultra adapts to your life.

From backpack to water in 3 minutes
Forget complicated instructions and endless fumbling. The VIK folding system is our answer to annoying logistics. We've perfected the setup so you don't need any tools: unfold, snap in the frames, tighten the ratchets – done. In less than 5 minutes, you can transform the VIK 3.8 ULTRA from a compact package into a highly stable folding kayak. Our specially developed locking mechanism is rock solid and guarantees maximum rigidity on the water. After your trip, disassembly is just as quick. Become a pro on the shore and spend your time where it counts: on the water.
11 kg of folding kayak freedom
Why carry heavy loads when you can go light? At just 11 kilograms, the VIK 3.8 ULTRA is a true lightweight among folding kayaks. In our Berlin production facility, we use recycled hollow-core panels and a slim aluminum frame. The result: you can comfortably carry your boat to the lake as a backpack, take it on the S-Bahn, or stow it in the smallest campervan. With a pack size of only 70 x 55 cm, you become completely independent of roof racks or heavy trailers. You'll barely feel it on your back – but on the water, it delivers the full performance of a hard-shell boat.
Thoughtful to the last step: Product engineering from Berlin
The VIK 3.8 ULTRA is the result of intensive product development in our Berlin production facility. We tested new materials for a long time until we found a robust fabric that makes the VIK 3.8 ULTRA even more robust and resistant than its predecessor.
As with the VIK 3.8 PRO, we are sticking to our concept: Our self-developed frames and our precise VIK-LOCK closure system are manufactured exclusively in Germany. For you, this means: a quick, absolutely tool-free, uncomplicated setup.
From the first sketch to final production, we rely on "Made in Germany" and short supply chains. Behind the VIK are countless prototypes, so you don't have to think at the shore. You get a folding kayak in the iconic VIK look that simply works.
Product Features
OpenDeck Design
Our open deck design allows for particularly easy entry and exit on the shore or jetty. The design offers you maximum freedom of movement in the cockpit and ensures an airy driving experience without feeling restricted.
Center Stability
Thanks to the low seating position in the boat, you benefit from enormous tilt stability. You sit so close to the center of gravity that you can steer the VIK intuitively and safely using your hips – for full control in every situation.
VIK-Fold Tech
Our innovative folding mechanism reduces a full-sized kayak to an ultra-compact size of just 70 x 55 x 16 cm. The system guides you intuitively through the process – unfold, snap into place, and start paddling.
VIK-Lock System
Our specially developed locking mechanism combines security with speed. With robust ratchets and precisely fitting frames, the folding kayak is securely assembled in record time without tools, so you can rely implicitly on its construction.

FAQ Folding Kayak VIK 3.8 ULTRA
Thanks to its rigid hollow-chamber structure, the VIK offers paddling performance that comes extremely close to classic hardshell boats. Unlike spongy inflatable kayaks, the VIK 3.8 ULTRA lies stably in the water and convinces with direct power transmission. In our Berlin production, we ensure maximum torsional rigidity for a safe paddling experience. You can find more about the comparison here in our blog guide.
Our polypropylene twin-wall sheets are designed for extreme durability. The material is resistant to permanent bending, meaning that the folded edges will not become brittle even after thousands of folding cycles. We produce a durable piece of sports equipment, not a disposable product – we give you our word as developers and producers.
With a packed size of 70 x 55 cm, it qualifies as hand luggage on the train. You can easily store it in the luggage racks in the ICE or in the multi-purpose compartment. This makes your folding kayak the ideal companion for paddling without a car. You can find tips for your first train journey with a boat here.
Absolutely. With a weight of only 11 kg, the VIK 3.8 ULTRA was developed specifically for this purpose. You can comfortably carry it to the shore as a backpack and set it up alone in under 5 minutes. It is the ideal tool for solo paddlers who don't want heavy logistics or help unloading from the car roof.
The material is extremely easy to care for. After your trip, it's enough to rinse the boat briefly with fresh water and wipe it dry. Since the VIK is UV-resistant and robust, it does not require any special sealing. Folded, it takes up hardly any space in an apartment or cellar – ideal for city dwellers.
Absolutely. We are confident in our quality and regularly offer you the opportunity for a test ride in Berlin directly on the Spree. This way, you can experience the handling, weight, and quick setup for yourself before making a decision. You can book your appointment here.
