Native Kayaks now at Swift

Last week the Swift sales/demo crew headed down to Greensboro, North Carolina to spend some time with the team from Legacy Paddlesports. We had been hearing a lot of hype about these guys in the industry and we all wanted to see for ourselves what the commotion was about.

Quickly after our arrival in Greensboro we discovered that not only were the folks form Legacy a class act, but their products were very innovative and exceptionally well designed. We are now more excited than ever to be adding Native Watercraft to our line for the upcoming season! Aside from being a great boat to fish from they are also very user friendly and will catch the attention of families, birders and anyone who wants a comfortable boat that will get them out on the water.

The “First Class Seating” that Native offers is one of the big features that makes these boats so appealing. We all agreed that this is the most comfortable kayak seat that we had ever been in.

The Ultimate Series is a crossover offering the best of a canoe and a kayak combined in one boat. There are seemingly endless combinations of fishing and comfort accessories so that you can easily rig up your Ultimate to fit you perfectly. Shown below are the Volt Drive (like an electric trolling motor) and Propel Drive (pedal power) - you can also paddle them with a canoe or kayak paddle which makes it easy for folks of all skill levels and abilities to get out and enjoy themselves on the water!


If you like sit on top kayaks you really need to check out Native’s Magic series. Aside from being an extremely nice paddling sit on top you also get the benefit of the “First Class Seating” as well as another very modular boat that can be set up in countless configurations depending on how you want to use your boat.

Be sure to visit us at the Toronto Boat Show to see the full range of Native Watercraft. If you want an advanced sneak peek, stop in at our Muskoka location and take a look. Our staff will be very excited to show them to you.

The '09's are Arriving!

Our most recent delivery from Wilderness Systems will ensure that we have enough selection to carry us through the fall, the Christmas season and into our busy trade show season starting in January.

We are excited to report some nice upgrades the the boats you know and love. Here's a sneak peek at the new hatch system found on the 2009 Pungos that we received. Stay tuned for more information about further upgrades and changes to the lines for the coming year.


This order was secured before the exchange rate swung, which means great deals on the 2009 models until the end of the year and even better deals on the remaining 2008 models! Be sure to stop in and take a look at what's in store, or give us a call at 1.800.661.1429 to get yours before they are gone. Prices will go up in January on all in stock boats, so now is the time to buy!

Snow in October!

It's true! Swift Muskoka is getting a little taste of winter today! With the weather set to warm up again tomorrow, it won't last - so we wanted to share it with everyone while it was at it's best!


It's also a great reminder that as the season winds down, it's the perfect time to check your boats over and prepare them for winter storage. Visit our downloads page at; http://www.swiftcanoe.com/download.htm to view our suggested maintenance sheets.

If you find that your canoe or kayak is in need of any repairs, why not bring it back to the experts for the love it deserves? Drop your boat at our Muskoka location and we'll take it from there to our factory. Once there our factory technicians will give it a full inspection and recommend any necessary repairs, as well as provide you with a quote for the cost of those repairs.
