Swift Canoe & Kayak - Muskoka
Swift Canoe & Kayak's Gravenhurst store, selling its own canoes and kayaks plus other brands and paddling gear. Staff are praised for patient advice, repairs and help strapping boats to your car.
What visitors say
Swift's Muskoka location in Gravenhurst is a paddling store rather than a rental base. Reviewers describe a good selection of canoes and kayaks inside and outside, even in winter, along with other brands, PFDs, paddles and accessories.
Staff get consistent praise for being knowledgeable and unhurried. One buyer spent a long time on the phone working through materials and options before ordering a custom canoe, and several first-time buyers say they were steered to the right boat and shown how to secure it properly. The shop also does repairs: one owner got an old kayak back in excellent shape after a skeg cable replacement.
It suits paddlers ready to buy their first boat and experienced trippers after a lightweight or pack canoe. Staff help load boats onto cars and trailers, and one customer's dog was looked after while they strapped down their purchase.
Complaints are rare. One shopper found the cashier unhelpful and turned to the yard staff instead.
