You want time on the water that feels simple and relaxing. With a kayak or a canoe you can head out solo or with friends without needing much experience—just pick the craft that fits your body, your plans and your favorite kind of water.
Canoes & kayaks – what to choose
- Sit-on-top kayak: easy on/off and very stable—great for beginners and warm days.
- Sit-in kayak: smoother tracking and more protection from wind/cooler weather for longer outings.
- Canoe: open, roomy and calm—loads gear and kids easily for lakes and gentle rivers.
Size & stability made simple
More width = easier balance. More length = straighter, easier glide. Start with something stable; move to sleeker boats once you feel confident.
Comfort & safety that matter
- PFD that moves with you so you actually wear it.
- Paddle sized to your height for less fatigue and better rhythm.
- Dry bag for phone/keys/water and carry straps for simple transport.
Where they shine
- Beach & calm water: sit-on-top kayaks for confidence and play.
- Touring & distance: sit-in kayaks that glide with less effort.
- Family days: canoes with space for cooler, towels and smiles.
