You choose the size to suit your needs; from the 15’ prospector ideal for solo or shorter tandem trips up to our 18’ for major expeditions or large party travels.
Feel confident out on the water in a canoe from our Recreational series. Perfect for the casual camper, cottager or solo paddler cruising flat waters and floating down lazy rivers. Stable, dependable canoes that provide peace of mind whether you’re a novice canoeist or a seasoned solo paddler. Our recreational canoes make great options for young families or anglers looking for a stable platform to cast from.
Designed for speed and reliability, this is the canoe that will get you to your destination safely and efficiently. Tackle the open waters and travel longer distances with ease even if you have a heavier load. The canoes in our Cruiser series perform equally well with a full load or when travelling light, and you’ll experience less drag thanks to its lower profile.
Our whitewater series is all about fun and performance in moving water. These canoes will inspire confidence when your adrenaline is pumping. Our whitewater models have deep, rockered hulls designed to keep you and your gear dry and ensure the responsiveness and agility required in big rapids. Whether it’s a day of fun on the river or a major trip, you’ll have the handling and capacity you need to tackle any challenge nature can throw at you.
