The first step in choosing a canoe is to determine the ways in which you plan to use it. To help you, we've included brief descriptions of the most common types of canoe usage.

    If you are looking for a well-rounded, multi-purpose craft, chances are you will find it in our Versatile Series. If you are seeking a canoe with more focused performance characteristics and a little less versatility, it's probably in our Focused Series. If you are looking for a craft that is ideally suited to a single purpose, that boat is likely to be found in our Specialty Series. 

Take a look at our usage guide for more information on what canoe might be best for you for Texas waters.

These canoes are characterized by their versatility, adaptability, and user-friendliness. Long on stability yet surprisingly responsive, these easygoing canoes are rugged all-around performers. View the Versatile Series

Included in this years line are the brand new R-Series polyethylene canoes. Their Triple Tough construction means quality paddling at an affordable price.
The canoes in this series are efficient to paddle, with sleeker, faster hulls than boats in our Versatile Series. Despite the fact that performance gets the nod over versatility in these boats, they give up surprisingly little in the way of versatility.View the Focused Series

While many of our canoes are designed with versatility in mind, the canoes in our Specialty Series have been designed and built for very specific purpose. These craft do not promise to do everything , but each will carry out its particular mission with absolute precision and efficiency. 

Within the Specialty Series are sport canoes for the hunter, fisherman, or nature photographer; and whitewater playboats for the dedicated whitewater enthusiast. View the Specialty Series
