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.

Great aluminum riveted canoe...
Submitted by: guest-paddler on 4/25/2019
Great aluminum riveted canoe that paddles true, is lightweight, can fit the whole family plus enough gear for multiday trips! The square back is great for trolling motor hookup for longer or solo trips that may not be easy to paddle. The stability is good enough even if the kids want to look over the sides as you paddle!
