We carry Wenonah and GRB Newman Design canoes
We carry Wenonah Touring Canoes and Wenonah Racing Canoes made of either royalex or kevlar. Royalex boats are rigid and fairly light canoes designed for recreational uses such as fishing, daytripping and overnight camping. Kevlar boats are ultralight canoes that are great for racing and portaging between ponds. We have several models available. All of our boats can be used for a variety of recreational uses.
The GRB Newman Design canoes are made of carbon fiber, making them great for either racing or touring. These boats are designed and built by John and Gene Newman, of Canton, NY.
Renting a canoe
Canoe rentals are $35 per day for royalex canoes and $55 for kevlar. All rentals include paddles and PFDs. Straps and foam pads are provided so customers can secure the canoe to the roof of their car or truck. Staff also provides customers with advice on canoe routes.
Deposit & Refund policy
Rentals and guided trips require a 50 percent deposit. For cancellations more than two weeks prior to the start of the rental, customers will receive a refund that is 75 percent of their deposit. When the cancellation is less than two weeks prior to the start of the rental, customers will receive 25 percent of their deposit. When the cancellations is less than three days prior to the start of the rental, there is no refund.
Buying a canoe
See what boat is best for you. We carry a number of models and encourage customers to paddle the boat before buying it. With our rent-to-own policy, we apply 50 percent of your rental toward the purchase.
MAC'S also has paddles and lifejackets available at great prices from our rental inventory.
All prices subject to change according to staff mood and buyer temperament! We'll take trade-ins, but you are better off selling your boat if you want top dollar!
