Old Town has you covered when you’re choosing a solo canoe. Whether you’re new to canoeing, looking to upgrade, or are a kayaker who wants to try canoeing, we’ve covered all the bases.
If you’re already a kayaker, Old Town solo canoes have similar kayak characteristics to make the transition easy. You get the best of both worlds with the simplicity of a canoe and the sleek handling of a kayak.
These three main points will help you buy the right solo canoe for you.
Materials, Durability, and Portability
Our canoes come in a variety of materials, from plastic to polyethylene and fiberglass to wood and Kevlar. Consider the type of environment you’ll be paddling in when making a decision. Canoes with polyethylene, like our Sportsman line, are more resistant to impacts and abrasions.
Weight Capacity
If you plan to use your solo canoe for fishing or overnight camping trips, it’s important to consider the weight capacity of the canoe. Our NEXT canoe allows up to 450 pounds of weight, leaving plenty of room for all of your gear.
Comfort
Our solo canoes have been optimized for comfort. A comfortable canoe will keep you out on the water longer. All of our solo canoes are made for comfort with comfortable, adjustable seats and plenty of legroom.
Paddling
A solo canoe opens up your options for a paddling style that suits you and your adventures. Choose between a traditional single blade paddle or a double-bladed paddle for a kayaking experience.
