Everyone agrees; Swift boats are the finest.
I own three Swift Kayaks and could not be more satisfied. The pride in workmanship and design is unmistakable in all Swift boats. Where ever I paddle and others are in the same location, invariably people remark about how much they like my boats. Even in remote locations the Loons often slow down to take a second look. My latest Swift Kayak is a Saranac 15 LV/LC which made my cold water paddling easier getting in and out of the boat with bulky drysuit on. At 72 I don’t bend quite as well as I used to, especially in cold weather.
Love it!
I’m 6’1” with size 15 feet, 185 pounds, and at arthritis age. Getting in and out of my former touring kayak, with its short cockpit and narrow keyhole, was nearly impossible. My new Saranac 15LC is the perfect boat for me. Sleek and long, it is fast and tracks beautifully with its adjustable skeg down. Skeg up, and I can nearly rotate it on its axis. Entry and egress are so easy with its 44” cockpit. I use a splash skirt to keep our South Carolina sun off my thighs.
I paddle with friends who are in Eddylines, Wilderness Systems, and Precisions. They are all very impressed with the beauty and sleekness of this boat. It has been transformational in my paddling enjoyment.
