One Platform with Endless Possibilities
At Riverbound Sports, we’re passionate about getting more people on the water, and over the last 5 years, we have grown from a little paddleboard and kayak shop to offering not only performance and recreation gear but some of the highest quality fishing kayaks on the market. That’s why we’re proud to offer NuCanoe kayaks, a brand that continues to redefine versatility and performance in kayak fishing.
Since their launch in 2006, NuCanoe has established a reputation with boats that go beyond the basics. Designed and manufactured in the U.S., NuCanoe Kayaks are crafted for endless possibilities to rig your fishing, hunting, paddling, or powered exploration. These kayaks provide an ultra-adaptable platform. Whether you’re pursuing bass in a shallow lake or running crab pots in a tidal inlet, NuCanoe has a model designed to handle it all.
Why NuCanoe Kayaks Stand Out
Ultimate Stability with an Open Deck Layout
NuCanoe’s wide, flat-bottom hulls are among the most stable in the kayak industry. That means you can stand and fish with confidence—even cast with power—without worrying about tipping. Each model features an open, walkable deck that’s ideal for anglers who prefer to move around or bring along gear for a full day on the water.
Made to Be Customized
Every NuCanoe is a blank canvas for anglers. Each model comes equipped with gear tracks, flush-mounted rod holders, and modular seating. Add a PowerPole anchor, mount a trolling motor, install a fishfinder, or set it up tandem-style—their kayaks are ready to evolve with your needs.
Motor-Ready and Tournament Tough
Unlike most kayak brands that require aftermarket mods, NuCanoe boats are motor-ready right out of the box. Square-stern transoms and bow-mount options make it easy to install a trolling or outboard motor, transforming your kayak into a high-powered fishing machine.
