For the more solitary, or the most independent, sea kayaking will offer the same advantages as canoes. The lake and its corners will no longer hold any secrets for you. The kayak is a very light boat, which is handled with a double paddle. It can be made of synthetic material, canvas or pneumatic (inflatable kayak).

What is the difference between a canoe and a kayak?
At Sbrava Nautique to facilitate the recognition of boats between canoes and kayaks we opt for the following solution:
several places equal canoe one place equals kayak. Whether you are in a canoe with several people or a single kayak you can choose a single or double paddle as you wish.
From a more technical point of view, we can distinguish them as follows:
The canoe is a canoe handled with a single paddle (only one side of the paddle enters the water), which navigates rivers and lakes. Canoeing is native to the peoples of North America. It is now intended for recreational and sporting nautical practices. The canoe can carry several people.
The kayak is a light canoe guided in a seated position using a double paddle. Its origin is Inuit.
The difference between a canoe and a kayak therefore depends on two criteria:
- the paddle: single for a canoe, double for a kayak. In a canoe we alternate taking the paddle out of the water to row, only one side enters the water. In a kayak, you row on either side without taking the paddle entirely out of the water.
- rower position: kneeling and legs bent back in a canoe, sitting at the bottom of the boat in a kayak
