I have a similar situation. What I did in an old house is have 2 pulleys
attached to the ceiling. I would sling either end of the kayak and then pull
each end up incrementally until it was at the required height. The ropes were
redirected to another pulley on the side of the garage where I tied them off
to a cleat.

If you want to put it on a shelf, you might have a hinged shelf and after the
kayak is raised, raise the shelf and  prop it in place and then lower the
kayak unto it. This would require that the kayak be raised fairly close to the
wall where the shelf is mounted.
