Since 1978, Eastex Canoes has purchased over 200 new canoes for use in our rental / livery service on all South East Texas waterways. Over the years, we have operated whole fleets of ABS Whitewater Canoes, Fiberglass Canoes and extruded Polyurethane (RamX) Canoes. While each type canoe has its particular "pros and cons", Osage Aluminum Canoes have withstood the true test of versatility and durability under the demanding conditions of our livery service.
Manufactured in the USA by the same skilled craftsmen for 3 decades, Osage Aluminum Canoes feature solid welded hull construction, indestructible seats and personalized options that will "set you apart" from the thousands of mass-produced, mass-marketed and mass-merchandised canoes on the market today. Purchase of an Osage Aluminum Canoe(s) guarantees you and your family or group safe and affordable recreational opportunities for years to come. All Osage Canoes are Coast Guard Approved and include our unparalleled Limited Lifetime Warranty!

CANOES
The STANDARD Canoes
(15' and 17' Models)
These are the most versatile of all canoe models. Relatively lightweight yet durable, stable and easy-to-paddle, the 15' and 17' Standard Models feature sturdy .050 gauge hull construction and exceptional tracking. Due to their over-all versitility, the Standard Models are our most popular choice for solo paddlers (15'), families, scout camps, state parks, campgrounds and canoe liveries.
The 18' EXPEDITION
This double end canoe features maximum load capacity and stability while exhibiting the maneuverability of our smaller models. Its 43 inch beam and 15 inch depth make moving heavy loads on long trips easier. Side sponsons and 3rd seat are standard features.
The SQUARE STERN Models
