There was a previous post looking for options to transport three kayaks. I found this option on my travels. Maybe it will work for you too.

I’ve transported one kayak, recently, and all I could think about for the 3 hour drive was how much I wanted a kayak trailer. If I had 3 kayaks, forget it, get the trailer

My experience only being other cars and snowboards...I feel like, without roof rails, may negate any safety aspect without a proper trailer.

I've never cared for roof mounting kayaks for many reasons. Lots of people do it all the time but it's not for me. I use my simple 5' x 8' utility trailer to haul my fishing kayaks. Pictured are only (2) on the trailer but I have (3) of the same kayaks and the 3rd one fits in-between the other two on my trailer without any issue. I added vehicle roof kayak mounts to my trailer that are easilt added or removed. I also have (2) dirt bike front wheel stanchions on the trailer for hauling my dirt bikes.
