Canoe / Kayak / Paddle Boats On Boatcrazy

Paddlecraft include canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards, lightweight, human-powered watercraft propelled by paddles or oars. Canoes are longer, open boats often paddled solo or tandem, ideal for casual cruising, camping, or fishing. Kayaks are slimmer, with a closed deck and sit-in or sit-on-top design, paddled with a double-bladed paddle and suitable for flat water, touring, or whitewater.

Paddleboards (SUPs) are flat, surfboard-style platforms where the rider stands and cruises using a single-bladed paddle.

Canoe / Kayak / Paddle Boats Frequently Asked Questions

Canoes are open-top, longer and wider, paddled with a single-blade paddle from a kneeling or seated position; kayaks are decked boats, narrower, paddled while seated using a double-blade paddle.

Pick based on your purpose: go for a canoe if you want space for gear or relaxing on calm lakes; choose a kayak if you want speed, tracking, or tackling rougher water; SUPs are best for casual exercise, yoga, or calm water cruising.

There are sit-in recreational kayaks, touring kayaks, whitewater kayaks, sit-on-tops, inflatables, and performance boats like surf skis—each built for different conditions.

Both work well. Canoes offer more room to move and store gear; fishing kayaks often include rod holders, storage hatches, and enhanced stability.

Choose a double-bladed paddle sized to your height and kayak width. Taller paddlers and wider kayaks need longer paddles (200–250cm). Blade shape and materials affect effort and price.

Canoes are generally more stable initially; kayaks are less stable but more maneuverable and better in wind or waves due to lower seating.

Whitewater kayaks are designed for rapids. Some SUPs and canoes are made for mild whitewater, but they're not suitable for aggressive rapids.
