Our Canoes

The canoe is Mankind's oldest vessel and is to be found all over the world. Although built in state-of-the-art materials, our 8 metre Voyager canoes Cheemaun, Tidewing, Melody and Miranda and our new, locally-built 9 metre canoes Longbow and Arrow, all follow the same pattern as the ancient dug-out and birch-clad vessels people have used since prehistory to explore, hunt and trade the rivers, waterways, lakes and seas.

Canoeing is a kind of time-travel.

"Just a brief note to thank you for a splendid trip on the river yesterday, it really was most enjoyable and the history of the riverside villages, wrecks and the like was extremely interesting. We all enjoyed it immensely...." Bill

Cheemaun on the Yealm at Noss Mayo	Marvellous for families, Voyager canoes happily embark small children and adult novices as well as suiting bold adventurers. The youngest guest-crew so far was little Sarah, then 12 days old. The eldest was Mr George, 87.
