Grumman Canoes

Ask anyone about their first canoe experience, and many will tell you of a silver aluminum canoe paddled at summer camp or their summer lakefront vacation home. Grumman Canoe began in 1944 when William Hoffman ingeniously included aeronautical aluminum to create a lightweight-durable canoe. As a result, Grumman quickly became an American Classic due to their maintenance-free, indestructible, high-value, and environment and user-friendly canoes.

 

Manufactured in the USA for 75 years by Marathon Boat Group, Grumman Canoes are sold and paddled throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia through an established network of knowledgeable and friendly dealers and distributors.

Why Buy an Aluminum Canoe?

Durable & Maintenance Free

Whether you are searching for a boat with maximum impact and abrasion resistance or one to withstand extreme heat and freezing temperatures, aluminum offers more protection than any other material. You can store them outside and still expect them not to be adversely affected by the environment. Hull distortion is a major concern with plastics, not a factor with aluminum allowing your hull design to remain the same for the lifetime of your boat.

 

Aluminum requires zero maintenance. Aluminum’s high resistance to corrosion means aluminum boat hulls are relatively safe from structural fatigue that could otherwise put a vessel out of commission. Aluminum gunwales, seats, yokes, decks, and parts made from aluminum will not break down, or attract mildew or rust.
