Seaward Kayaks

I just bought a Tyee XLC and I can’t wait to get on the water. The staff at Seaward were super helpful and very patient with me (I visited the shop a number of times before purchasing). Francis was great and helped me with my choice. He was very open about pros and cons of the models I was looking at. When it came down to it, the Tyee was the correct choice. It’s a versatile boat that I can grow into as my confidence builds. These kayaks are expensive but worth it and they hold their value. The boats are hand made which makes every boat feel like a custom build (not made in mass production). Best part is they are 100% Made in Canada (Chemainus, BC). I was even lucky enough to tour the shop and witness the build process. It’s easy to spot the quality when you see these boats in person.

Our company, Coast Mountain Expeditions has been using Seaward kayaks for nearly as long as they've been making them. More than half of our fleet of 60 kayaks is a Seaward boat. We still have boats in our rental fleet that have withstood over 20 years of commercial use requiring only minimal maintenance and repair. They still look great (after re-polishing and buffing). Seaward makes the best constructed fibreglass touring kayaks in North America...maybe the world.
