Travel Canoe 16 in the news
Travel Canoe 16 Reviews
4.7 out of 5 stars. (36)Bought this for a trip on the middle Missouri River floating from Ft. Benton to James Kipp Campground. I had never used it but can say that it exceeded my expectations. The boat worked beyond my expectations. Easy to set up and at the end I needed to hitchhike to Malta MT and it being an inflatable boat allowed me to do this. I would recommend that if you are looking for something similar this would be a great option.
I really love this canoe because of the: 1) material durability, 2) quality of construction, and 3) portability. I move the canoe alone, so I purchased the EZ Cart (small) so I can wheel it to and from the water. The TC16 is too heavy and awkward for one person to easily handle. I also paddle solo most of the time, so I recommend buying a double-bladed kayak paddle---more efficient and you transfer less water into the canoe. My only criticism is the hardware provided to secure the web seats. The split rings are difficult/frustrating to use since you are working under the seats. The first time I set up the canoe, I threw the split rings away and didn't pin the seats. I replaced them with small hitch pin clips (see attached photos) that are only 1-3/8" long. The clips are easy to install/remove. They are short, so there is no possibility of contacting or puncturing the walls. Seaeagle should substitute hitch pin clips--customers deserve upgraded hardware on this $2,000+ canoe.
Love the canoe. But it is a bit harder to fold up, and the folds are not as pretty, as the video shows. Definitely harder to fold when it’s not nice and warm. That said, we are still happy we purchased it.
I love the boat and its performance and could not wish for a better inflatable canoe. The safety aspect of it (being virtually unsinkable) is priceless.
The boat feels and is stable, the seats are comfortable (i regrettably did not order the third seat but promptly made one to be able to seat at the centre of the boat when solo paddling). The boat is surprisingly manoeuvrable for an inflatable. It is a breeze to inflate with the electric pump and to get it on the water. To fold it up for the packing in the provided bag it is helpful to extract as much air as possible with the provided electric pump. I keep the boat in a plastic chest in my garage.

Key Features
Patented All Drop Stitch Contruction Creates The Shape Of Traditional Canoes
The flat three inch thick high pressure (up to 10 psi) side and floor chambers create a narrow, rigid and extremely spacious canoe. This construction system allows us to literally reinvent the traditional canoe in a unique inflatable form and provides previously impossible benefits. Greater safety, incredible stability and incomparable portability with no sacrifice to paddling performance. U.S. Patent 9,452,809
Safer Because Of Inherent Buoyancy
Unlike traditional rigid canoes, our Travel Canoe has added buoyancy from the inflatable air chambers of the floor and sides. This means while adhering to the Travel Canoes specifications it will not sink. In addition, because the air chambers have inherent buoyancy you can load this canoe with hundreds of pounds of supplies and still paddle and maneuver easily. Best of all this inherent buoyancy makes the Travel Canoe safer in whitewater rapids (up through class IV).
Double Chine System For Triple Stability And Improved Tracking
The Travel Canoe is more stable than many traditional canoes because of the Double Chines that run the entire length of the canoe. All canoes have some form of primary and secondary stability. The Travel Canoe actually has three forms of stability. The two distinct chines along with the flat bottom contribute to stability, speed and tracking of the Travel Canoe. The first chine is formed where the drop stitch inflatable floor meets the drop stitch inflatable side walls. The second chine comes from the angle of the drop stitch inflatable side walls. This results in primary stability from the flat bottom, secondary stability from the first chine and additional stability from the second chine.
Bow And Stern Molds Combined With Rear Removable Skeg For Speed And Tracking
The Travel Canoe features bow and stern molds that cut through the wind, water, waves, and current while creating lift reducing drag and friction. The added feature of a removable rear skeg further improves speed and tracking because the skeg reduces the natural yaw/swinging of a canoe and makes forward motion far more efficient. The skeg is designed for use in open water and windy conditions. It can be removed in seconds for use on whitewater or when using the J-stokes.
Diamond Deck Pads For More Secure Footing
To provide safe and secure footing when getting in and out of the Travel Canoe we have added a layer of diamond pattern anti-skid EVA foam decking. This not only makes this canoe safer to stand on (especially when fishing and casting) it adds an additional layer of protection to the floor. To secure the optional drop stitch inflatable seats while providing maximum adjustability (for one, two or three paddlers) additional d-rings have been added to hold a durable nylon strap that keeps the seat in place.
Packs Into A Bag And Fits Into A Small Car Trunk
Not only is the Travel Canoe 33% lighter than rigid canoes of the same class but it also deflates and packs down to a mere 1/4 of its inflated size. So the Travel Canoe will fit easily into the smallest car trunks for both easy storage and transport, making it readily available for use at all times.
3 Separate Independent Safety Air Chambers
3 Separate Independent Safety Air Chambers for added safety: Starboard Side, Floor, and Portside. Providing an added level of security and peace of mind.
