NuCanoe started as an idea. Tim Niemier, founder of Ocean Kayak, wanted to put “a billion butts in boats.” This idea led to the innovative NuCanoe design that enabled people to do things on the water - fish, hunt, row, dive, crab, paddle, or just relax. NuCanoe boats combine the best of canoes, kayaks, and small boats to deliver the ultimate experience on the water. With unmatched versatility, NuCanoe boats are ideal for fishing, fly fishing, hunting, paddling, crabbing, diving, and so much more. The legendary NuCanoe stability lets you focus on your activities and perform without limits. All NuCanoe boats are made in the USA and are built to last.
