Why Swift?

In two words...quality and value!

Swift Canoe and Kayak is a Canadian company who has been on the leading edge of canoe research and manufacturing for almost 25 years .

When the owner, Bill Swift Jr., began manufacturing boats, his sole purpose was to supply Algonquin Outfitters with Canadian made, durable, safe, performance canoes for their rental fleet. Everyone at Swift, as well as our customers, demand the highest standards of quality and value in Swift boats and our production crew takes great pride in achieving these standards. The Swift family and team has been serving paddlers for over 45 years through this affiliate business Algonquin Outfitters. We have found no better trial for durability, longevity and performance than our rental fleet of over 800 boats where every new Swift canoe or kayak is tested. It is in what we affectionately call our "school of hard knocks", that you get the benefit of literally 1000s and 1000s of hours of paddling experience, to ensure both quality and value.

Swift makes an exceptional product with strict attention to design, performance, comfort, and aesthetic details. Swift also knows that customer service is their best advertising investment by having strict policies pertaining to client satisfaction through their lifetime warranty, 30 day guaranteed fit policy, and their trade-in policy.

Simply stated, “People who know, paddle Swift.”
