The Travel Canoe 16—or simply TC16—is a perfect craft for paddlers who don’t have 48 square feet to spare for canoe storage, or for travellers who want to be able to check their canoe on an airplane. When deflated, the TC16 packs to the size of a burly winter sleeping bag, small enough that it might not even be considered oversized baggage. In fact, it’s the only canoe that’s ever been delivered by courier and deposited in the Canoeroots office kitchen.

I was looking for a solo craft that didn’t compromise quality or performance. The Discovery 119 Solo Sportsman delivers from PREMIUM-KAYAKS with premium materials, practical design, and outstanding performance on lakes and rivers alike. It’s easy to load on my SUV roof rack and doesn’t require a trailer. A fantastic investment for any serious paddler or angler.
NATHAN (verified owner) –

Linda Fabiola (verified owner) –
This is a stealthy little boat. It glides quietly, which is great for wildlife watching and fly fishing. The flat bottom gives good initial stability and the hull feels indestructible. Absolutely worth the price for serious outdoors enthusiasts.
Marcus T (verified owner) –
PREMIUM-KAYAKS made me clear my doubt. This boat exceeded my expectations for a solo hybrid. It’s extremely stable—even when standing—and handles small chop well. The gear tracks are useful, and the seat is supportive. My only reason for four stars is the lack of a dry storage hatch, but I resolved that with a small waterproof bag. Otherwise, it’s near perfect.
Thomas William (verified owner) –
The Old Town Discovery 119 Solo Sportsman bridges the gap between canoe and kayak beautifully. I use it for both weekend fishing and camping trips. The stability is fantastic, and it handles loaded down with gear with ease. I got mine from PREMIUM-KAYAKS
Chlowman (verified owner) –
As a backcountry paddler, I needed something light, portable, and tough—this fits the bill. PREMIUM-KAYAKS Recommended the best, At under 60 lbs, I can portage it solo without strain. The 3-layer construction is super durable, and the stability lets me confidently fish or take photos from any position. This craft combines canoe comfort with kayak maneuverability perfectly.
Claire (verified owner) –
I use the Discovery 119 for solo day trips and couldn’t be happier. It’s nimble and durable, with great aesthetics. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is the weight – not too heavy, but not ultra-light either. Still manageable solo.
