Online orders Christmas cut-off Dec 18

Prices will increase on our boats Jan. 8, 2026.
We are proud to be one of the most affordable canoe manufacturers in the Kevlar and composite market, but the rising cost of materials has forced us to raise the price by $100 on all of our models.
Any orders or deposits received by the end of the year will lock in our current prices, provided the boat is picked up or delivered before Sept. 5, 2026.
Welcome
We design, build, and sell
custom-made ultralight pack canoes, powered by
a double-bladed paddle
Our boats are ideal for a wide range of paddling, whether pond-hopping in the Adirondack wilderness, river-tripping in the wilds of Maine, cruising the Boundary Waters of the Midwest, or exploring the swamps of the South.
You can enjoy the lightness of our boats as you portage
to a motor-less lake or simply carry from
your car to a favorite pond.
​
We offer demos daily Mon-Fri
@ 9:00am,11:00am, and 1:30pm
as weather allows




James Griffis
"Best canoes, period, based on over 60 years of canoing back country, open water, and flowing water. Service is top notch with very pleasant and helpful staff."
Amal Mitra
"Great experience, trying out their boats, ordering, getting delivery. Very responsive, knowledgeable, and for light, easy to maneuver and easy to transport, their boats can’t be beat."
J Scott Willoughby
“Simply the best ultra light boat for the Adirondacks! Great staff and supplies to go with your boat.”

Discover the Classic 10'6"
The Ten Classic was our first boat design, now in its 50th year of production. There are thousands of these boats in use in the Adirondacks and beyond. Pete was inspired by boats built by John Henry Rushton (1843-1906). Its exceptional design offers a perfect balance of agility and stability, making it a favorite among paddlers worldwide.
