Keewaydin 15 Pack
This expedition pack boat was created at the request of our largest rental dealer, Algonquin Outfitters. Using feedback from their customers, Swift created a high-volume solo tripping vessel for long-distance travellers and rugged portageurs. The Keewaydin Pack 15 mixes solo canoe hull features with a kayak-style configuration, creating the volume sought by canoe trippers with the comfort and efficiency of kayak style paddlers. With an ample paddling station and enough volume for weeks of tripping, the Keewaydin Pack 15 is a utilitarian tripper’s dream.

I'm having so much fun!
I started looking at Swift packboats in 2019 by renting as many different models as I could to determine what suited me best. All of the models are great boats but I found the best for me was the Keewaydin 15. On a very happy day in August of 21 I picked mine up from the South River location. It is the perfect combination of speed and stability. It truly paddles and carries like a dream. I try to paddle a few times a week weather permitting on Lake Ontario for fitness and when I can I take it on solo trips up North. It’s maneuverable, hold lots of gear, tracks beautifully and is great in the waves and the wind. I have the expedition Kevlar with the champagne undercoat and find it to be very forgiving. I’ve made high end furniture for 35 years and find the workmanship and quality of all the Swift products to be first class. I couldn’t recommend anything more.
