Alchemist Canoes

The goal of alchemy is to transform base metals or elements into gold. The Alchemist Canoe Company realizes the creation of an exceptional canoe is very much a black art as well. They take raw materials and produce the gold standard in the canoe industry and a golden experience for paddlers.

The six founders of the Alchemist Canoe Company are all paddlers and have worked as wilderness guides, instructors, master boat builders and carpenters, paddle sports retailers, rental / outfitter operates, and canoe and kayak shop owners. Alchemist Canoe Company has one goal, to create the ultimate line of canoes in both function and form. Their company slogan says it all - "not all things are created equal!"

Alchemist Journey 15

This traditionally shaped canoe was created for those who are more excited with the "journey" than the final destination. Inspired by the second best selling hull shape in the history of the canoe, the Chestnut "Bob Special". With it's flat bottom, keeled profile and slight rocker, the Journey 15' gives paddlers a very predictable and stable ride. If you are looking for a small tandem day tripper that can be easily paddled solo, then look no further. Alchemist Canoe Company has created a cottager's / sportsman's dream canoe. The Journey series is only available in an infused fiberglass lay-up but be reassured that they are built with the same attention to detail as the performance hulls at 1/2 the price. Teal II deep dish yoke, curved ash seats and ergo-grab handles come as standard features.

Alchemist Journey 16

With all the same features as the Journey 15 but stretched out and deepened to increase volume and hull speed, this 16'2" canoe has very high initial stability. This makes it the perfect pick for beginner to intermediate paddlers needing a solid predictable feel. Great for fishing, photography, kids and or dogs, yet versatile enough to head out on a back country canoe trip. The Journey 16 is only available in an infused fiberglass lay-up that is built extremely tough and will last a lifetime. Standard features include: Teal II deep dish yoke, contoured ash seats, and ergo grab handles.

Alchemist Legend 15.7

When the waterways of this country were first explored a seaworthy, efficient and manoeuvrable canoe was developed that could carry everything plus the kitchen sink. Used primarily by fur traders and prospectors (hence the name used by many builders), these canoes became the workhorse of Canadian lakes and rivers. While retaining the characteristics that made these canoes popular amongst back country trippers and day paddlers alike, the Legend 15.7 has been modified from the original Classic Prospector to a smaller volume canoe more suited for long-weekend trips, day paddling or soloing around the lake. The Legend is also a cottage country favorite.

Alchemist Legend 16.7

The Alchemist Canoe Company introduced this model at the Toronto International Boat Show in January of 2007 and after just one season on the market it became Alchemist Canoe's most popular design. Based on the original Classic Prospector and slightly modified to better suit today's back country needs, the Legend 16.7 is the perfect choice for paddlers who love extended canoe trips through varied conditions. This canoe has great volume for gear, a deep bow and stern for dryness in rough water, moderate rocker for all round performance, and sharp entry and exit lines for increased efficiency on lakes. This classic shaped canoe is more than a prospector, it's a Legend.

Alchemist Legend Prospector 17.7

After many requests from Alchemist fans to produce a larger version of their best selling canoe the "Legend 16.7", the Alchemist Canoe Company is proud to introduce the "Legend 17.7". It shares all the same characteristics as the "Legend 16.7" but has a higher capacity. An extra foot of interior space will make the 17.7 perfect for families with young kids and/or pets. I guess size sometimes does matter!

Alchemist Myth

A little more patience and skill are required to master this canoe, but the reward for your efforts is great. The Myth is the embodiment of everything a canoe should be, performing well tandem or solo in white-water, on flat-water and on rivers. Its unique combination of a flared hull for seaworthyness, increased rocker for manoeverability, asymmetrical shape for efficiency and high volume for heavy loads enable you to easily overcome any obstacle on your way to the remotest parts of wilderness. The true 'jack of all trades' is born. They say you can't have it all but they haven't paddled the Myth.

Alchemist Odyssey

This Canoe is designed for the seasoned lake water canoe trippers that appreciate asymmetrical design and efficiency. An asymmetrical shape and differential rocker mean that the canoe can accelerate quickly and maintains course with speed without giving up the ability to change course easily. This modern design has raised the bar for backcountry lake water performance and has a growing cult following.
