    I bought a Esquif Prospecteur 16 from Paddle.ca and the service was great! Derik and Sam were very nice and knowledgeable! They were quick to respond to our messages and showed us all the canoes they held in stock. I would highly recommend buying an Esquif canoe from them! Thanks guys!

    I was recommended a canoe that suited my needs perfectly. Well accompanied from start to finish by knowledgeable people. I did not hesitate to come back for my second purchase. I now find myself with two excellent canoes and a lot of fun. Thank you for everything and its a pleasure to paddle with you on a river !!!

    I bought a canoe from Pierre Desjardins in the summer of 2020 and I don't regret it. I received excellent advice and exceptional after sales service. Pierre is well versed in each of the strengths and advantages of the canoes he offers, and he makes sure to sell the right canoe to the right person. I recommend it without hesitation.

    It was great to be able to call Derik in the morning and pick up a L'edge Super-Lite in the afternoon! Thanks for the friendly service!
