Nova Craft - Muskoka 15'10"

A canoe that's as good to look at as it is to paddle is a rare thing, and the Muskoka 15'10" earns that description honestly. Built on traditional lines that have stood the test of time, this is Nova Craft's go-to recreational canoe for families, cottage paddlers, and anyone who wants a reliable, good-looking boat that's ready whenever the water calls.

The Muskoka has the stability and carrying capacity to handle kids, dogs, and a full day's worth of gear without feeling tippy or overloaded. Its traditional hull shape makes it genuinely enjoyable to paddle on calm lakes and easy rivers, and it handles itself well enough in light chop that an unexpected change in conditions won't ruin your afternoon. When you're done for the day, it looks just as good sitting on the dock as it does on the water.

Trim Systems

Standard aluminum gunwales are aircraft-grade, anodized, and essentially maintenance-free. They're tough, lightweight, and built to last well beyond a lifetime of paddling. If you're counting grams on the portage trail, Aluminum Lite gunwales offer a slimmer profile that shaves meaningful weight without sacrificing durability. Prefer the traditional look and feel of wood? Ash gunwales are quieter on the water, comfortable to handle in both heat and cold, and bring a classic aesthetic that pairs naturally with the Muskoka's traditional lines.

Materials

Fibreglass is the practical starting point: affordable, proven, and durable enough for years of cottage and recreational use. TuffStuff steps things up with a basalt and Innegra fibre construction that's noticeably lighter and tough enough for extended backcountry trips. TuffStuff Expedition builds in even more impact resistance for serious wilderness travel. For those who want the lightest possible carry, Aramid Lite delivers Nova Craft's lightest layup in a flatwater-focused hull. Blue Steel combines aramid and carbon fibre for a canoe that's both light and stiff, with a proven track record on remote expeditions.
