When the Swift Team conceptualized, developed and started to build canoes in 1984 and kayaks in 1995, we set out to build the ultimate recreational, light touring and tripping boats.
We started by focusing on the need for functional, technically advanced canoes and kayaks that provide true performance benefits to the consumer. To achieve these goals, Swift sought
out the most knowledgeable people in the industry to work with our R&D team and formulate the new design features and determine the performance characteristics the boat will
need. Next, our boat designers produce a prototype for trial use. The prototype then gets paddled by our staff, and more importantly, the intended end consumer. Once we have
determined the final boat shape, the project is then turned over to the Swift Manufacturing Team. Our Swift Engineers fine tune the integral parts and boat ergonomics and produce
the necessary tooling to put the boat into production.
Canadian Made
Design and development is just the beginning. The Swift family has been serving paddlers for 50 years through our affiliate outfitting and rental business, Algonquin Outfitters.
We have found no better trial for durability, longevity and performance than our rental fleet of over 1000 boats where every new Swift canoe and kayak is tested. Our consumers
and everyone on the Swift Team demand the highest standards of quality in every Swift boat, and our production crew takes great pride in achieving these high standards.
The final step is getting you the right Swift canoe and/or kayak. Our sales staff and dealers are chosen for their knowledge, enthusiasm for paddling and commitment to service.
Their goal is to see that you are satisfied and that you get the right boat for your needs. As you go through the selectin process you will see how our goal has been realized many
times over in every canoe and kayak that we build. No matter which Swift boat you choose, we feel confident that you will find it a source of lasting enjoyment and a boat you will
be proud to own and paddle for many years.
Swift Warranty
Swift boats purchased new are warrantied against defects in materials and workmanship for the usable life of the boat and as indicated by care and wear. This warranty does
not include damage due to normal wear, abuse, misuse or alteration. Swift or a certified Swift agent will repair or replace the boat at their option. Transportation to and from a
Swift dealer is your responsibility ~ well take it from there!
Happy Paddling,
