Tandem 2-Person Lightweight Canoes
Lightweight Canoes with Two Seats
The most popular lightweight canoes are set-up with 2x seats, so they can be paddled either solo or in tandem. This versatility means that they are true general-purpose canoes and well suited for exploring the wealth of British waterways on offer. Ranging from 15-17 feet in length, these canoes can be used for short day trips, evening paddles, or even loaded up for overnight adventures.
Although these canoes are supplied with two seats fitted, there is scope for the owner to retrofit a 3rd seat to take an additional paddler. Alternatively, any of the canoes below can be special ordered through ourselves, and the manufacturers will fit a third seat in their factory as a custom option.
If you have any questions relating to lightweight canoes or would like to discuss a custom boat build (from either Swift or Nova Craft) and how to pre-order into the UK, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with of the team here at Manchester Canoes who would be happy to help.
