Our mission is to design and build the highest quality, sweetest performing, lightweight kayaks and canoes. Over fifty years of authenticity, creativity, and passion for the water is how we make it happen.
HISTORY
Lincoln Canoe & Kayak is the oldest builder of lightweight hand crafted composite canoes and kayaks in North America. Our legacy means something to our customers, and that means quite a bit to us.
BEAUTY
Many of our customers say what attracted them most to their shiny new Lincoln was; “it just looked perfectly crafted for what it does.” Ahhh, the very way we define the words elegance and beauty.
DESIGN
Each Lincoln model get’s its name from a Maine waterway known for the conditions the boat was purposefully built to handle. New England maritime tradition truly inspires our design.
SEE WHAT MAKES A LINCOLN SPECIAL
Lincoln Canoe & Kayak was founded in Stow, MA, in 1959. We still hand build all of our boats, one at a time, in Massachusetts. While materials and processes have evolved, our reason for existing hasn’t; build the finest watercraft, tailor fit by name, for some of the finest waters in the world.

Our infusion lamination process produces an exceptionally stiff light laminate. The resulting watercraft is strong, lightweight, responsive, and a joy to paddle. Watch “Part 2” of our composite custom boat build series for a detailed description of our infusion process and how we handcraft your boat.

WE LOVE WATER
Lincoln is fortunate to be situated in the birthplace of the New England maritime tradition. We love the history, we love water.
“WHY WE KAYAK”
It’s not always about the boats we build. The annual Lincoln Invitational is a tradition. Sometimes in canoes, sometimes in kayaks, we always have a blast and we’re always seeking a new adventure. Check out this cool film we shot of the 17th Invitational. Maybe someday you’ll find yourself on the invite list.
