A multi-part kayak whereby the kayak body is hollow and void of a center where a traditional sit-on-top kayak cockpit would reside. The kayak body thus having a centralized hole therethrough. Surrounded by the hollow perimeter body the design is best analogous to a doughnut with a hole in its center. The kayak perimeter body is designed to accommodate multiple central hulls which can additionally accept multiple cockpit configurations via insertion into the central hull. Additionally such arrangement provides removable central hulls to be affixed in a manner whereby no mechanical fasteners or points of possible water intrusion exist below the waterline. Means are provided so as to prevent occupants weight from forcing the removable central hull downward through the kayak body and from wave action forcing the removable central hull upward through the kayak body. One kayak body can accommodate multiple configurations of removable central hulls thereby eliminating the need for various kayaks to perform various functions. Additionally, the cost of shipping multiple boats is reduced as sales outlets can order a limited number of kayak bodies and multiple central hull arrangements and satisfy the needs of multiple clients. Lastly the ability to replace a kayak body or central hull extends the life of the kayak by providing a means of replacement for damaged hull components rather than replacing an entire kayak.
