CANOES

The Wabakimi 18 is the fastest tandem canoe Swift has ever built — a high-performance touring hull born from the Cruiser solo canoe lineage and designed for paddlers who want to cover serious distance without compromise. Efficient glide, exceptional tracking, and a hull shape that shrugs off wind and rough water make this the canoe for paddlers who measure their days in miles. Tucked gunwales at the stern paddling station give you ample room for powerful, efficient strokes whether you prefer a bent shaft or traditional paddle.

But speed is only part of the story. The Wabakimi 18 is remarkably composed in adverse conditions — stable and confidence-inspiring when the wind builds and the whitecaps start rolling. Available with standard cherry webbed seats or sliding tractor seats, it’s built for all-day comfort on long crossings and multi-day expeditions alike. For paddling enthusiasts who want a tandem that performs like a thoroughbred but handles like a trusted partner, the Wabakimi 18 is in a class of its own.

The Algonquin 16 is one of Swift's most popular models for good reason. It has excellent stability yet paddles and handles effortlessly. It inspires confidence in new paddlers, and parents in particular appreciate its roominess and stability. For photography, hunting, fishing and other activities that require a canoe to be lightweight, durable and stable, the Algonquin 16 has few equals.

This fast, lightweight performance canoe is a masterful extension of Swift’s signature designs and an adventurer’s dream. The Cruiser boasts an ample waterline, significant tumblehome, and hybridized features of both marathon racing and expedition canoes, and does exactly what its name implies. Whether you’re an expedition tripper or a casual racer, you can expect impressive tracking, bountiful speed, and remarkable seaworthiness. For middle to larger sized paddlers who seek efficiency and versatility to suit an adventurous lifestyle, the Cruiser represents a new era of highly stylized design for the wilderness adventurer.

Legendary canoe designer David Yost has created a beautifully balanced solo canoe with this modern take on a classically well-rounded solo boat. Whether tripping on the open lakes of Algonquin or the Boundary Waters or playing in lively Class II rivers, the Cirrus is a tremendously versatile companion.

This canoe combines stable predictability appreciated by entry-level paddlers with the responsiveness and performance demanded by intermediate and advanced canoe enthusiasts who embrace playfulness, maneuverability, and cruising speed. The Cirrus will grow with you as you explore the limits of your paddling capacity.

The Dragonfly 15 is a river cruiser and tripper designed by David Yost. It is a larger volume version of the original Dragonfly as it is 2” wider and a bit fuller in the ends above the waterline. This unique shape will inspire intermediate to advanced paddlers that want a performance-oriented river boat.
