Navarro canoes are hand made functional works of art, often passed on for generations. For nearly fifty years families have enjoyed Navarro's handcrafted canoes for their durability, performance and style.
Each made to order canoe is crafted with a fiberglass outer hull and kevlar inner hull for sleek protection and weight reduction. Carefully selected and shaped black cherry and ash hardwoods provide the inner ribs and outer structures that complete each canoe's strength and distinctiveness.
Modern canoe design, and craftsman attention to detail ensure each Navarro canoe performs with great precision on any lake or gentle river. Canoes can be ordered in a variety of styles and colors and all pricing includes shipping within the continental United States.

The cherry ribs used in each Navarro canoe require careful, hands-on craftsmanship but give each canoe a distinctive look while providing stability and rigidity to the canoe's hull.

Learn how to make a canoe carrier from a golf cart. No I don't mean an electric golf cart. That's another video. This is converting a pull golf cart to a canoe carrier. An easy DIY project.

    How do you get or make the hauls before the installation of the ribs?

    Did that in 1968 when I was 14 only I hooked it up to my bicycle and cycled 3 miles to join my friends canoeing on our favourite beach....

      I did this in 1967 when I was 13 years and 11 months! I actually cycled 4 miles to meet my 40 friends on the most beautiful beach in the world with free popsicles!

    I built one after watching your video. My problem is that my kayak weighs 85 lbs empty, and about 100 fully loaded. It kept falling off the cart! The single crossbrace to support the kayak bent on the cart frame. What I had to do was run a strap from each wheel over the kayak and strap it down tightly. I also had a problem at the handle end because the kayak wouldn’t stay centered over it. Again, I had to use a strap to center it. Part of my problem was that the only golf cart I could find had a tubular frame rather than a square one. Big mistake. I’ve used mine for a year now. Once the kayak is mounted it works great. However, getting the kayak mounted on top and not falling off before strapping it down is a pain. Wish your video showed how you managed that with one person.

      Our canoes don't weigh as much as your kayak so that probably makes a difference. Sounds like you have figured out a workable adaptation, though.

    Brilliant 👍👍👍 thanks for sharing. The only modification that I’m considering is a little beefier wheels. I pack a lot of gear in my canoe so the wheels must be able to take the weight and off road terrain.

    Exactly what I did. I’m just seeing if anyone else discovered this. I’ll be towing a kayak so I am using the bag swing arms as a pivoting cradle for the kayak hull. I mounted rubber balls by cutting them in half and gluing them on each of the pivoting arms; these will find home in the scupper holes this will secure the positioning of the kayak. I have one draw strap I salvaged from a harbor freight tie down strap,I had left over. I salvaged the buckle assembly from an old shoulder strap from a camera bag. I am attaching this to my bicycle so; I’ve still yet to design and build the attachment to be mounted on the bow. That must be easily attached and removed with no holes to draw water into. Since I will be towing this behind a bicycle; weight is a major factor.

    Great idea! Going to make one this week. How much weight do you think this will safely hold?

      John Cyr It handles all our canoes, but we have never put extra weight in the canoe.

    Nice modification of an item a lot of people already have in their garage. Will save a back when the car park is 1/2 mile from the river.

      ***** Thanks. We have found it works well and during this season of garage sales, it seems like there is a surplus of carts!

    I made a cart today using your video. It was super easy. I found a golf cart for $5.00 and bought some supplies for about $10.00. It turned out great. The Goodwill by my house had 5 carts. I chose the one made of titanium. Total weight is under 5 lbs. Thank you for the idea. I figured this cart saved me over $100. Jorge

      So glad it worked out so well and saved you some money, too! Safe paddling!
