Old Town Discovery 15 Sport Canoe
A flat-bottom hull that stays dry and confident
The Discovery Sport 15 pairs a flat bottom and flared sides with full-length stabilizing chines and a generous 40-inch beam, so it sits flat and predictable under load. Moderate rocker keeps it maneuverable without sacrificing the steady, dry ride that makes it forgiving for paddlers of any experience level.
- Flat bottom with flared sides for initial stability
- Full-length stabilizing chines and 40" beam
- Moderate rocker for balanced tracking and maneuverability
Paddle it, row it, or motor it
A square stern lets you run an outboard up to 5 HP, while an included oak socket and lock kit (not pre-installed) sets the canoe up for rowing. It is built to be paddled traditionally too, giving you three ways to get on the water from one hull.
- Square stern accommodates up to a 5 HP motor
- Oak socket and lock kit included for rowing
- With a motor, capacity is 4 people or 850 lbs per USCG
Three-layer polyethylene built to take a beating
The hull is molded from extremely durable three-layer polyethylene, the construction Old Town relies on for impact resistance and long-term reliability. Vinyl gunwales and comfortable carrying handles round out a 113 lb canoe that holds up to dragging, launching, and hard recreational use.
- Extremely durable three-layer polyethylene hull
- Vinyl gunwales and comfortable carrying handles
- 113 lbs with a 1,650-1,700 lb max load range
Room for three and plenty of gear
At 15' 3" with three nylon web seats, the Discovery Sport 15 carries a full crew plus the gear for a day of fishing, hunting, or camping. The high load range leaves margin for passengers and cargo whether you are paddling out for the weekend or loading up for a longer haul.
- Three nylon web seats for up to 3 paddlers
- 15' 3" length and 40" width for stable loading
- 1,650-1,700 lb max load range when paddled

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot 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!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo 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!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI 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.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe 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.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought 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.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou 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.
