Marathon, NY. After WWII, Grumman had aluminum, skilled workers, and no more planes to build—so they pivoted.
The canoe was a natural fit: tough, simple, and perfect for postwar America, where families were hitting the road, exploring national parks, and making the most of the new interstate system.
The first aluminum Grumman canoe hit the water in 1946, and it quickly became a fixture at camps, cabins, and outfitters across the country.
The Grumman faithful say our canoes are virtually indestructible, with no real maintenance beyond a rinse. Our canoes aren’t something you buy and replace—they become part of one’s legacy—something to keep, use hard, and pass down.
A Better Material, for
You and the Water
Why Aluminum Still Outperforms Plastic
Aerospace-grade. Field-ready.
Made from the same aluminum used in aircraft, Grumman canoes are lightweight, rigid, and built to take impact without cracking or warping. They’re repairable in the field, won’t rot or soften in the sun, and require no pampering to perform season after season.
Cleaner. Stronger. Smarter.
Plastic canoes are petroleum-based, prone to UV damage, and often non-recyclable. Many shed microplastics into lakes and rivers as they wear. Grumman aluminum is fully recyclable, non-toxic, and doesn’t pollute as it ages. It’s a better choice for the long run—and the water our children paddle in.
Low Maintenance. Lifetime Value.
Grumman canoes need no special storage or maintenance. A rinse is usually enough. Dents can be fixed with basic tools, and many models last 30–50+ years. It’s not an impulse buy —it’s a generational investment.

It is a fantastic boat for both fishing...
Submitted by: paddler231926 on 2/5/2017
It is a fantastic boat for both fishing and waterfowl hunting. A great performer with both oars and outboard. I currently use a Nissan 3.5 HP 4 stroke outboard and it will get the canoe up on plane with two full grown men. It is a tough and durable boat, perfect for the sportsman. I can also get it in and out of the bed of my pick-up truck by myself. A real plus!
I am a hunting guide in Alaska...
Submitted by: paddler231151 on 6/22/2005
I am a hunting guide in Alaska and have 10 Grumman canoes that I and my guides use along the rivers in my hunting area during the moose season. Four of these canoes are the 15’ Sportboat model. I can’t imagine a more practical, durable, or efficient work canoe. I routinely haul more than a 1000 lbs of moose and camp gear using 15 horse Evinrudes along more than 70 miles of sometimes shallow rivers. Great Canoes!
