Canoes

Canoes typically range from 3 to 6 metres (10 to 20 feet) in length, depending on their design and purpose. Shorter canoes are easier to handle and transport, while longer ones offer better speed, tracking, and storage—ideal for tandem paddling or extended trips. The exact dimensions of our canoes can be found in the product description of each model.

The cost of a canoe can vary depending on its size, material, and design. Entry-level canoes typically start around $800 to $1,200, while premium models built for fishing, touring, or carrying heavy loads can range from $1,500 to $3,000 or more. Factors like stability, weight capacity, and included features also impact price. You can find the exact pricing for each model in the product description on our website.

Canoes typically weigh between 20 kg and 45 kg, depending on their size, materials, and construction. Lightweight models are easier to carry and load solo, while heavier canoes offer increased stability and durability—ideal for fishing or carrying gear. The exact weight of our canoes can be found in the product description of each model.

Canoes are made using a variety of materials and methods, depending on their intended use. Most modern canoes are constructed from durable materials like polyethylene, fiberglass, or lightweight composites, which are moulded or layered into shape for strength and performance. Some traditional canoes are still handcrafted from wood or wood-canvas. Each method offers a different balance of weight, durability, and cost. For more details, the construction method of each of our canoes is listed in its product description.

Yes, canoes are generally stable, especially models designed for activities like fishing, touring, or family paddling. Stability depends on factors like hull shape, width, and overall design. Wider, flat-bottomed canoes offer excellent primary stability for calm waters, while narrower, rounded hulls provide better secondary stability for rougher conditions. Our canoes are carefully selected for Aussie conditions, and you can find specific stability details in each product description.

Yes, canoes are excellent for fishing, especially in calm rivers, lakes, and backcountry waters. They offer plenty of space for gear, quiet movement to avoid spooking fish, and the ability to access remote or shallow areas where larger boats can't go. Many fishing canoes are designed with added stability, storage, and seating comfort. For anglers, they’re a versatile and affordable option.
