Serenade
A fiberglass construction, the Serenade is designed for those looking for easy
paddling in a relatively lightweight, cost-effective, low-maintenance boat.
This hybrid solo canoe merges the best attributes of a canoe with the best
attributes of a kayak. While the hull and gunwales mirror that of a typical canoe,
the unique seating system speaks to its kayak inspiration. Bridging the gap between
a small, easy-portaging pack canoe and a solo hull, the Serenade is stable, comfortable,
easy to paddle and cost-effective, providing an option for recreational paddlers who
prefer to go solo.
At 13 feet, the shallow-vee asymmetrical hull is very stable and versatile. The open
canoe design makes loading and unloading quick and easy. Truly an innovation for
the hybrid canoe sector, the unique seating system comes with standard adjustable
footbraces, leg-lifter support and innovative adjustability in a reclining seat for
all-day comfort on the water. The seat is also removable, so it can double as
outdoor seating on the shore.
The Serenade paddles most efficiently in protected waters like ponds, small lakes and
marshes that are not likely to be exposed to wind and chop. For casual outings of
fishing, photography, bird-watching or just cruising, the Serenade is the grab-and-go
solo hybrid canoe for recreational paddlers.
Standard Outfitting:
Asymmetrical hull, CSS with leglifter, Thwarts (2), Wood carry handles
Options: Available with black aluminum or wood gunwales
| Model | Material | Length | Width | Center Depth | Capacity | Weight |
| Serenade | Fiberglass | 13' 1" | 28.25" | 11.5" | 300 lbs | 36 lbs |
Explorer 16 Kevlar
Innovative materials enhance the timeless design of the Explorer, creating a sleeker,
faster, more responsive and efficient hull that provides more stimulating performance
for just about any paddler.A sophisticated hybrid layup of Kevlar, fiberglass, carbon,
and core is shielded by a tough gel coat and formed into the moderately rockered shallow
vee hull, providing the balance of efficiency and seaworthiness that has become the hallmark
of the Explorer. This canoe is expedition-proven and expedition-worthy but fully accommodating
for the family, the fisherman, or any aspiring paddler new to the sport. The Explorer 16 Kevlar
is one of those rare canoes that can satisfy the most discerning paddler but also welcomes the
developing canoeist.
Standard Outfitting:
ash/cane contour seats, deluxe ash portage yoke, black anodized aluminum gunwales
| Model | Material | Length | Width | Center Depth | Capacity | Weight |
| Explorer 16 Kevlar | Kevlar | 16' 3" | 34.5" | 14.5" | 1100 lbs | 54 lbs |
Explorer

Mad River's Explorer is world famous for durability, stability and truly
verstile performance.
Jim Henry's original Explorer design is a benchmark when it comes to versatile canoes.
With assurance in its long history of proven performance, try this canoe as a family cruiser,
fisherman's canoe, downriver whitewater hull, or spacious tripping canoe and shrug off the bumps
and grinds that accompany just about any canoeing adventure.
The Explorer's shallow-vee shaped hull featured in this canoe makes it extraordinarily seaworthy
and allows for confident use in any condition, rough or calm. The combination of paddling versatility, capacity,
seaworthiness and superior paddling performance make this canoe as close to an all-purpose canoe as you'll get.

ROYALEX 15'; ash/cane seats, ash portage yoke, vinyl gunwales
ROYALEX 16'; ash/web seats, ash portage yoke, vinyl gunwales

Explorer 14 TT (14' 6")

As with all Explorers, the Explorer 14 TT offers predictable rough water
performance mated to superior tracking for a short canoe and provides plenty of
room for gear. With the 14 TT, you get all this capability at a surprisingly
low price. The 14 TT is a very maneuverable tandem yet takes advantage of a
shallow vee hull to help keep it on line, making it an easy canoe to paddle
solo. Its Triple Tough superlinear polyethylene construction means you
get good durability at a low price - the only compromise is weight.
Polyehtylene is heavier than most Royalex or Kevlar composites. It's a good
choice for the paddler who needs a canoe that's seaworthy, stable and maneuverable.
Compared to other recreation canoes the Explorer 14 TT offers excellent handling on lakes
or streams and makes a very stable platform for family outings.
Standard Outfitting:
Ash/web seats, Ash portage yoke, Vinyl gunwales.
| Model | Length | Gunwale Width | Maximum Width | Weight | Capacity | Center Depth | Bow Depth | Stern Depth |
| Explorer 14 TT | 14' 6" | 36" | 36" | 72 lbs | 850 lbs | 14.5" | 22" | 21" |
