Find the Best

If you’re going solo—be it fishing, just cruising, or heading full-bore into the Quetico—Mad River’s Serenade 13 canoe-kayak hybrid is the way to go. The fiberglass mashup is stable, fast, and light, and thanks to the unique seating system, you can pilot it kayak style (double bladed) or with a canoe paddle.
