This canoe is ideal for fishing on lakes and can comfortably handle waves up to .5m.It is stable,roomy,maintenance free and above all durable.You never have to worry if you hit a rock or a shoal as it will slide right off with only cosmetic damage. I run this boat with a 2.5HP suzuki outboard and transport it on a trailex boat trailer. It is the ideal set-up for an old guy like me who likes being on the water but doesn't want to struggle with paddling,portaging or launch ramps anymore.It is light enough(69lb) that I can launch it anywhere and even if I were to run into engine problems,I can easily paddle it back.I put a handle extension on the tiller and my wife made a wide seat cushion which allows me a more comfortable seating position while motoring.I've owned a wide variety of canoes and aluminium motor boats but at this stage of my life,the esquif heron is as close to perfection as I can get.

I have been paddling canoes/kayaks for 33 years, sea-touring, white water, calm lakes and rivers; owned many different boats and materials. My most missed boat - the Esquif Heron. Loaded or not, moves well, motor or human powered. handled solo just fine. I am looking for another, just wish a local dealer would pick these boats up again, well worth the money, An awesome multi purpose craft.

Bought the Esquif Heron Camo off a friend, and this is my very first canoe and never been canoeing before, i bought this mainly for fishing with my son.
I love this canoe so much, easy to paddle, handle well, lots of room for fishing gears. He also put a trolling motor when fishing.
Just past weekend we were able to conquer the big wave on the lake, it handles well and stable, i will not worry about the durability of the canoe, it's Royalex. You pay what you get.
Highly recommended
Will pass this on to my son and the generations.
