Canoe

Composite

Kevlar, carbon and fiberglass combinations make up these sleek craft. Composite boats are the choice for those who want to slice efficiently through the water and for those wanting a boat that is easy to lift onto a car rack and carry over long portages. Though needing more care in handling to prevent damage, composite boats are not delicate and will, with care (and repair, if needed), outlast royalex canoes. 17' canoes run 40-55 lbs.

Light-Tripping

Getting from here to there

Light-tripping canoes are for those who want one boat that can do (almost) everything. Boats in this category tend to be narrower, longer and deeper than recreational boats, giving them better speed and the ability to handle moderate loads in wind and waves. If you are looking for a boat that you can take out for the afternoon or for a weekend trip on lakes or on a crooked river, these boats are for you.

Wilderness-Tripping

Bring your home to the woods

These canoes excel at getting you and your gear as far as you want to go, and getting there efficiently. From 17' to 18.5', and with a variety of depths and widths, our selection of wilderness tripping boats has something for everyone. The longer the boat, the higher the cruising speed and the better glide with each stroke. And with lightweight kevlar, even an eighteen-and-a-half foot canoe weighs only 45 lbs.
