Do they make car top kayak racks for 2 kayaks?

Most definetly. You will end up buying a rack kit that fits your car. Check out Thule or Yakima both make great rack systems, and it's easy to figure out what you need to fit your car. Once you have the rack on your car you can look at different options to secure the boats to your rack. Most shops will even install them for you. Good Luck

Most all roof racks can carry two or more kayaks -- it's up to you to buy the accessories to do it. Regular touring kayaks (which are long and thin) can easily sit side by side on their hulls flat on the rack on most cars without anything more than foam blocks. Wider sit on tops or whitewater kayaks can be laid on their sides using upright supports like the Thule J-racks. I used to carry three sea kayaks on the roof rack of my Volvo wagon. The Thule rack systems tend to work better for kayaks than the Yakima types. Many people just use foam blocks strapped right on the car roof with tie downs and bow and stern lines -- no rack at all. Always use bow and stern lines to your bumper though -- even below highway speeds the wind turbulence can rip your boat right off the roof if the front and rear are not secured at each end.Do they make car top kayak racks for 2 kayaks?
yes, check out the thule "J" kayak attachment for their roof racks, it allows you to carry two kayaks
