Folbot was founded in 1933 in London, England. At that time there were several companies manufacturing folding boats for the European market. Folbot quickly gained a reputation for being a sturdy and stable boat, and got even more recognition because of the numerous records established, including the first circumnavigation of the UK, in this type of kayak.

In 1983 the company saw the transition of Folbot frames being constructed out of wood to the use of aluminum and composite materials.

In 2004, Folbot introduced the Cooper, which has become the best selling Folbot ever. The Cooper is the first Folbot kayak to use the revolutionary taut tensioning system – which allows the frame to be fully assembled outside the skin and lengthened to fit the skin once it is inserted. The Kiawah, using this same technology, was introduced in 2005. The Citibōt, Folbot's newest innovation, is also based on this same technology.
