01 — HULL & STABILITY

The most stable, rugged canoe Esquif builds

A wide 37.5-inch beam and sporting hull give the Abenaki rock-solid initial stability, so you can stand to cast, sight game, or shoot photos with confidence. It still tracks smoothly and paddles efficiently across ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers.

  • 37.5-inch beam delivers exceptional standing stability
  • Sporting hull tracks straight while staying maneuverable
  • Equally at home for day trips or extended overnight outings
T-Formex hull with triple-keel reinforcement
02 — MATERIAL & DURABILITY

T-Formex hull with triple-keel reinforcement

Built from Esquif's tough T-Formex material and reinforced with a triple keel design, the Abenaki shrugs off years of hard use. It is engineered to handle abrasion and impacts that would damage lesser hulls.

  • T-Formex construction resists impacts and abrasion
  • Triple keel reinforcement adds rigidity and toughness
  • Holds up to year-round outdoor storage with minimal upkeep
Webbed seats and durable vinyl gunwales
03 — OUTFITTING & COMFORT

Webbed seats and durable vinyl gunwales

Traditional webbed seats keep you comfortable on long days on the water while shedding water and drying fast. Low-maintenance vinyl gunwales frame the hull and stand up to the elements season after season.

  • Webbed seats stay comfortable and dry quickly
  • Vinyl gunwales require minimal maintenance
  • Open layout makes loading gear, gear bags, and tackle easy
Made for anglers, hunters, and outdoor explorers
04 — BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS

Made for anglers, hunters, and outdoor explorers

Introduced in 2020 to honor the Abenaki Nation, this 15'11" recreational canoe was designed for anglers, hunters, outdoorsmen, photographers, and general paddlers. Its stability and capacity make it a dependable platform wherever the water leads.

  • Purpose-built for fishing, hunting, and photography
  • Stable platform for gear-heavy outings
  • Versatile across calm ponds, lakes, and easy rivers

Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.

You guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.

Despite its generous 39¾" beam, the Abenakis tracks smoothly and paddles efficiently on ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers. Built from T-Formex material with a triple keel design, it handles years of hard use and year-round outdoor storage with minimal maintenance. Load up the kids, pets, fishing gear, camping equipment, and a cooler — this canoe can take it all.
