Swift Cruiser 14.8 | Osgood Pond
The Pack Canoe
These versatile, light-weight solo canoes originated in the Adirondacks and are perfectly suited to exploring the area. Pack Canoes are designed to be easily portable, highly maneuverable and comfortable to paddle. The low seat position provides reassuring stability and the thoughtful hull designs balance ease of turning with good straight-line performance. Commonly paddled with a double blade but some models also lend themselves to single blade too. These wonderful boats are equally at home in narrow creeks and rivers, small ponds and on open lakes.
When it comes to getting to or from the water or traversing between waterways during your paddling trip, this is where their light-weight construction comes into its own. Lifting on or off the car is a breeze and for portage they are light enough to just be carried on the shoulder or with a detachable yoke, if you prefer.
Listed below are the most popular pack canoes that we sell with some brief information about them. Please reach out to discuss your requirements with us and we we'll be happy to guide you further.

Cruiser 12.8 / 13.8 / 14.8 / 15.8 / 16.8 (pack)
MSRP $3,495 - $3795 (Kevlar Fusion)
This lightweight, performance pack boat masterfully combines length, volume, and stability, to create the most versatile and popular pack boat Swift has ever designed. If you spend your backcountry adventures travelling light and fast the Cruiser provides the speed of a touring kayak with the volume of a solo canoe, allowing you to pack without worry and portage with ease. Offering mid-range volume coupled with exceptional speed, the Cruiser bears a design signature unlike anything on the market. Tucked-in gunnels at the forefront of the paddling station provide water access like a C1 racing canoe for maximum efficiency, and a rounded hull with a modern raised bow create stability comparable to a touring or recreational kayak. Snappy on the turn when leaned over in tight quarters, and more than capable if the waves come up, the Cruiser is designed to handle whatever your adventures may entail. Comes standard with Carbon Tech Package and Carbon Sliding Seat with integrated footbar.
