From family trips and wilderness expeditions to first paddles and lifelong traditions, it’s been an incredible privilege to be part of so many journeys. This historic footage is a reminder of where we’ve come from... and of our paddling community that makes every moment on the water worthwhile.

THE canoe that has defined West Coast paddling for 40+ years 🙏🙏🙏
The Clipper Tripper has earned its reputation as one of Canada’s most trusted expedition canoes. With its efficient hull design, impressive load capacity, and legendary durability, it’s equally at home on a weekend lake trip or a multi-week wilderness adventure.
Built to carry a weeks worth of gear without sacrificing performance, the Tripper delivers real efficiency, excellent tracking, and the **strong** construction we built our brand on 💪
Whether you’re exploring remote rivers, crossing big lakes, or creating memories with family and friends, the Tripper is ready for the journey.
🛶 Available in multiple layups to suit your paddling style.
🇨🇦 Proudly built in British Columbia.

Testing out the limits of THE BIG MAC! 🛶 The Clipper 20’ MacKenzie is what happens when massive capacity meets surprisingly efficient paddling: Built to haul serious loads without feeling like a barge, the MacKenzie tracks beautifully, turns responsively with 3” of rocker, and stays rock-solid stable thanks to its shallow-arch hull.
This is the canoe for family expeditions, week-long camping, serious back country hunting,,, or anyone tired of packing like a hiker. With room for 3-4 adults and gear... or 2 adults, a pile of kids, and enough snacks to survive the apocalypse... the MacKenzie will challenge your idea of what a canoe can actually do!!
✔️ Up to 1900 lbs capacity with 6” of freeboard
✔️ Fast for a 20-footer…. Paddles like a tripping canoe
✔️ UNREAL stable for true confidence in rough conditions
✔️ Optional 3rd & 4th seats for even bigger adventures
✔️ Built by hand in British Columbia 🇨🇦
Even better In Ultralight Kevlar, it stills come in around 77 lbs 🙏🙏🙏
Once you go Mac... you will never go back!!
