There’s no worse way to start a day on the water than struggling to drag a heavy kayak across a sandy launch or rocky trail. Every paddler knows that feeling the awkward shuffle, the uneven load, the frustration before the adventure even begins. Fortunately, RailBlaza has changed that narrative entirely with the C-Tug Kayak and Canoe Cart, a rugged, innovative, and thoughtfully engineered piece of gear that’s quickly become the gold standard for kayakers everywhere.

Designed in New Zealand and built to handle tough terrain, the C-Tug is not just another kayak cart, it’s the best kayak cart. Unlike metal framed carts that corrode or bend over time, the C-Tug is constructed from reinforced, non-corroding polymers that are built to last. It’s a design that perfectly marries form and function, ensuring it’s as lightweight as it is durable. From Charleston’s sandy landings to rocky lake shores and marshy trails, this cart can take a beating and keep on rolling.

One of the standout features is its puncture free, hi-grip wheels. Forget about dealing with flats or sinking into soft sand the C-Tug’s wheels are designed to stay firm and roll smooth no matter the surface. From oyster shell landings to muddy put ins, they grip, glide, and make transport effortless. Add in the adjustable kickstand and tool free assembly, and you’ve got a piece of gear that feels like it was made by someone who truly understands what paddlers need.

RailBlaza also nailed it when it comes to versatility. The C-Tug easily fits a wide range of kayak hull shapes and sizes, and with its soft rubberized hull pads, your kayak stays secure and protected while in transit. It can handle loads up to 260 pounds, perfect for small sit on tops or fully rigged fishing kayaks alike. Every part of the design is centered on reliability, no matter how you paddle.

But what really makes the C-Tug stand apart is its quick assembly and breakdown. The cart snaps together without the need for tools, and it disassembles just as easily for compact storage inside your kayak hatch or vehicle. It’s an underrated advantage that paddlers appreciate after a long day, no fumbling with pins, bolts, or bulky metal parts.

For those who spend their weekends exploring Charleston’s creeks, barrier islands, and backwaters, the C-Tug isn’t just convenient it’s essential. Local anglers and paddling enthusiasts praise it for its performance in the Lowcountry’s unique terrain. It’s a piece of gear that takes the hassle out of transport, letting you focus on what really matters, getting on the water and enjoying the adventure ahead.

RailBlaza has built its reputation on creating smart, modular accessories for paddlers, and the C-Tug is a perfect example of that ethos. It’s tough, adaptable, and built for real world use. Simply put, the C-Tug isn’t just the best kayak cart it’s the last one you’ll ever need.

Whether it’s a sunrise paddle through Shem Creek or a fishing trip along the Wando, the RailBlaza C-Tug ensures every outing starts and ends smoothly. For Charleston’s growing community of kayakers, it’s become more than just a piece of equipment, it’s a trusted companion on every journey.
