Pelican is a family affair with heart and passion. In 1970, the forerunner Gérard Élie offered the first moulded plastic pedal boat developed through thermoforming. His invention marked the beginning of a grand adventure that continues today with the same craze for innovative technologies. In 1995, his sons Christian and Antoine Élie took up the torch and became owners of Pelican International Inc. For 50 years, the family business - a Quebec flagship! - has been designing and manufacturing innovative, durable, high-quality outdoor products that are accessible to a wide range of people through their diversity and price range. Pelican is a leader in the design and manufacture of kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, paddle boards (SUP), fishing boats and accessories associated with these water sports. Always with the idea of diversifying its offer to encourage its customers to enjoy the outdoors whatever the season, Pelican also creates sleds and sleighs for winter sports enthusiasts. Pelican constantly innovates to offer the best paddling sports products across all categories and price ranges. Above all, our passionate team seeks to positively impact the lives of outdoor enthusiasts by offering them safe pleasure crafts so they may relish the wild beauty of nature.
