Our Fleet

Each year we renew a portion of our canoe fleet, and we meticulously maintain and repair all of our canoes so that they are in excellent condition for our customers.

Regarding weight: The use of materials like carbon fiber and epoxy resins and manufacturing techniques such as vacuum bagging can reduce weight while maintaining a canoe’s hull stiffness. However, these canoes are more expensive to manufacture and they are less durable. Consequently, our extra light canoes are less able to absorb wear and tear, particularly in an area like Temagami, which is characterized by rocky shorelines and rugged portages. Their higher rental price reflects their higher purchase price, their greater maintenance cost and their shorter rental lifetime.


Rates are by calendar day. After-hours pick-ups and returns (up to 10pm) can be arranged; a $10-per-canoe fee applies.

We require a 50% deposit at the time of booking. 

Reservations cancelled outside 14 days of arrival date will receive a full refund. 

Reservations cancelled within 14 days of arrival date will not be refunded. 

Reservations made for July and August will be subject to a charge equal to 100% of your reservation total, if cancelled within 48 hours of arrival date. If we are able to re-book any portion of your reservation, we will refund you the recovered amount.

Refunds will not be given for early departures.
