Dreamcatcher Boats are ultralight and supertough.  Made of a ballistic nylon skin on a cedar frame they're light enough for the kids to carry and tough enough to carry the kids.   But these super tough boats put the fun back into boating for the adults too.  You dont have to worry about getting them down to the water - they're so light,  and you dont have to worry about damaging them - they're practically bullet proof.

We have various styles for you to choose from, including one and two man canoes, rowboats, kayaks, baidarkas and our own breed - the kayoe!



You can buy a ready made boat, , rent a boat for the day or for your next camping trip or you can even build your own! Dreamcatcher Boats offers instructional individual and group classes, a downlaodable boat-building video, which takes you step by step through the boat building process, skin-on-frame boat plans and boat kits.

We also sell the Ballistic Nylon skin. Contact Us to order.

...we tested two of Brian's hand-built ultralight canoes, a 10 foot Free Lassie and a larger 14 foot double of similar design and construction. We paddled for several hours on False Creek, in fairly calm conditions and with waves from the wakes of passing powerboats enlivening our paddling experience.

As expected, these boats handled very well. They are exceptionally nimble, turn quickly, yet track well...
