pack boats
Pack canoes may just be the perfect boat for the Adirondacks. Light-weight, user friendly, and comfortable. Traditionally paddled with a kayak paddle, the boat makes itself home on twisting flows, small ponds, and open lakes. Pack boats are available for day paddlers as well as higher volume boats for overnight trips.

CRUISER PACK 126
Remarkably quick for it’s length and with rounded chines carrying significant tumblehome, the Pack 12.6 offers a calming stability under any conditions. With a lower profile suited to small and medium sized users, the paddling station blends comfort and function using forward thinking design. Paddling motion is unrestricted by means of a moderate 11″ centre depth and the 28″ maximum width is tucked just aft of the seat, allowing the paddler to cruise freely and comfortably. There is a deceptively large amount of interior volume, allowing you to pack your necessities with room to spare for longer trips. With a modern bow shape providing seaworthiness and a recurved stem for ultra-modern sleekness, the Pack 12.6 is part of a new era in Pack Boat design.

CRUISER PACK 148
Masterfully combining length, volume, and stability, the Cruiser 14.8 is the most versatile Pack boat Swift has ever designed. If you spend your backcountry adventures travelling light and fast the Cruiser 14.8 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 14.8 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 14.8 is designed to handle whatever your adventures may entail.

Keewaydin 14 Pack
Solo paddlers are often some of our most knowledgeable clients, and their desire for a compact and nimble solo canoe inspired the David Yost designed Keewaydin 14.

Quick on the turn and quick up to speed, the Keewaydin 14 is the perfect fit for smaller to mid-size paddlers or those who travel light.
