CANOES

The Prospector design has been a figurehead of Canadian canoeing since the beginning, and the Swift Prospector is our contribution to its legacy and rich heritage. Built from the foundation of a hundred years of dependability, the Prospector 16 has plenty of room for gear, surprising responsiveness, and stability that will put any paddler at ease. Lightweight yet durable, the Prospector will take you wherever you want to go!

With a centre seat in the balance point for quick and efficient high-volume solo tripping, and with tandem canoe seats for trips with a partner, you can outfit your equipment to suit your trip. Add a detachable yoke for the balance point to make portaging quick and easy. For paddlers who enjoy solo tripping and require space and volume, or for tandem trippers who want to keep their options open, Swift Combi canoes offer the benefits of multiple boats in one efficient design.

This lightweight solo canoe offers an unparalleled balance of comfort and performance. The Keewaydin 15’s comfort comes from its shallow arch hull and moderate width, making it a stable solo for sit down paddlers. The performance lies in its enhanced tumblehome and mid-range waterline, making it ultra-responsive when leaned or heeled. Whether you’re headed deep into the backcountry or just out for the day around the cottage, the Keewaydin 15 will put you at ease, freeing you up to enjoy the beauty around you.

Swift redesigned this lightweight canoe from its original design by narrowing the paddling stations, creating a sleeker hull shape, lowering the seat positions, to create a dynamic multi-purpose boat for multi day canoe tripping. For couples who want a fast tripping boat, or for small families in need of a lake country tripper, the Keewaydin is the perfect choice.

The Keewaydin Combi operates as lightweight tandem and solo tripping canoe, allowing you to alter your setup depending on your paddling needs. With a centre seat in the balance point for quick and efficient high-volume solo tripping, and with tandem canoe seats for trips with a partner, you can outfit your equipment to suit your trip. A detachable yoke for the balance point makes portaging quick and easy. For paddlers who enjoy solo tripping and require space and volume, or for tandem trippers who want to keep their options open, the Keewaydin Combi offers the benefits of multiple boats in one efficient design.

The Lavieille 17.6 is a large volume canoe that David Yost designed to Algonquin Outfitters specific needs for a 3 person tripping canoe. The ends have been flared out above the waterline allowing for the bow and stern seats to be placed closer to their respective ends creating much more space in the middle of the canoe. The center seat is placed behind the yoke and has the sides tucked in for ease of paddling for the center paddler. This creates lots of space in front of the yoke for gear, dogs and other passengers. While it has been designed as a 3 adult touring canoe, the Lavieille is also the perfect family boat!
