Build. Your. adventure.

At Deus Delighted, I bring together innovation and tradition in the art of kayak building. Located in Berlin, Germany, I design and develop kayak and SUP kits that connect you with nature and craftsmanship. My kits are made for the Stitch & Glue and Strip-Planked construction methods – a hands-on process that’s as satisfying as it is accessible. For the kits each part is precisely CNC-cut to ensure a perfect fit and top-notch quality. What defines my products? Adventure-ready, lasting durability, and elegant design. I want your kayak to be something you're proud to have built – and excited to paddle.

Cutstomer Built

 

 

Lee - DAWN built in Texas, USA

 

This custom-built kayak was successfully completed and launched in May 2026 after a dedicated build process. Designed with a strong focus on ergonomics and comfort, the lightweight 16.5 kg craft delivered excellent stability and promising performance during its first paddles.

 

 

Klaas from Germany – ALVA 550

 

As part of a school project, Klaas built his ALVA 550 kayak in 8th grade. You can find a detailed report as a blog article on the German website in the “Blog” section.


 

 

Martin, built in Sweden - Zenith_SG short version

 

I had my maiden voyage on a small lake in Sweden where I built the boat. Nice and stable she is. Lots of things learned. She still needs a last varnish but I ran out of and did not want to wait bcz of the dissapearing summer.

 

 

Jason from Massachusetts, USA - Zenith_SG short version

"Kayak came out great. Made a bucket seat out of plywood that’s pretty comfortable. Really enjoying it. Fun to paddle. I just walk it across the street to the harbor."

 

Shane from Missouri, USA - DAWN customized

"I've just completed the kayak. I can't wait to get it out on the water once we have some warmer weather. Hoping it will serve me well in the MR340"

Hannes from Switzerland - Zenith_SG long version

Zenith_SG long version built from Airex panels instead of Okoumé plywood. The boat was laminated with carbon fibers and weighs 14 kg. The Black Arrow is a great result!


Patrick from Switzerland - Zenith_SG long version

"Hello Andreas. My Zenith is finally finished. I put it in the water for the first time on Lake Constance on Saturday. The kayak is really very fast! It's great fun!"

Bernard from France - Zenith_SG short version

"I am very satisfied with my Zenith. This boat is stable, comfortable, fast and beautifull. She is very pleasant in the waves of ST Malo Bay. It's my best kayak! A real pleasure."

Randy from Wahington - Zenith_SG short version

"Launched the Zenith SG in September. Had a local builder finish installing the hatches, adding outside hull fiberglass and paint. He also installed a rudder system for me. Very fun boat!"

Andreas from Germany - Zenith_SG short version

"Today was the maiden voyage. The boat performed really well and can also be steered quite well over the edge. The feeling of tipping has faded after a while. I'm really satisfied!”


Stefan from Germany - Zenith_SG short version

Stefan from Hamburg on his maiden voyage with his new Zenith_SG short version. In addition to the first-class craftsmanship, the boat impresses with its elegant color scheme. A real eye-catcher on the water! Congratulations on the completion!

Matthias from Switzerland - DAWN customized

"Wonderful... it handles beautifully and I immediately felt comfortable in it. I haven't fitted a steering system or skeg and yet it's quite stable even in light swell and little wind. Thank you again for the super accurate plans. I had a lot of fun building it."

Andrew from Australia - Zenith_SG long version

"I finally completed my new baby a couple of weeks ago and took it out for its first serious paddle yesterday. Happy to say that it performed beautifully and looks even better. It’s a bit hard to see in the photos but the hull is stained black above that the panel is stained a mahogany and natural on top."

Hannes from Switzerland - Zenith_SG short version

"I'm absolutely thrilled. The Zenith performs really well, has fantastic directional stability and is also super stable. The kayak is maneuverable enough for my needs. It is also easy to roll. For me and my requirements, the Zenith is the dream boat I was looking for."
