Designed for families and sportsmen, the Fisherman is a stable platform for outdoor enjoyment. Short and wide, the Fisherman delivers easy turning and lots of initial stability. Its relatively flat bottom is very steady on fair waters, and its broad beam draws just inches. The easy control and shallow draught give access to areas that would be difficult for other craft, even many other canoes.

Canoe & Kayak Magazine compared it to six other "sport" canoes and noted, "The Fisherman is the only boat I could step into standing up without hesitation. It provides a lot of initial stability, probably the most of any hull here. When I leaned, it stopped before I could get the gunwale to the water. In my opinion, it's the most comfortable of these canoes."

Being that it is a stable, small hull, the Fisherman is an ideal choice for camps or at a lake cabin where kids will often use it. Since youngsters are light, they find it to be a fine paddling canoe that's also safe on waves due to its depth.

Adults, however, like the Fisherman for wildlife viewing, star-gazing, or other uses that do not include big waves, heavy loads, or long travel. It's perfect for one or two people to use hunting or fishing. (If you go alone, a good way is to sit in the bow seat facing the stern. This puts you closer to the center of the canoe. It also may help to place tackle or other gear far ahead of you to achieve proper trim.)

Available in Kevlar Ultra-light construction at a featherlight 36 lb., we also offer the Fisherman built from ultra-durable Royalex at 54 lb. While the Fisherman isn't meant for serious whitewater requiring ultimate impact resistance, the Royalex version can be a wise choice to travel shallow, rocky streams.
Designed for stability not speed, the Fisherman still outperforms any other 14' canoe, and delivers this performance even though it has exceptional maneuvering.
