  • Optional Rudder System: For enhanced maneuverability and control, the Journey offers an optional "Smart Track" rudder system, considered best-in-class for touring kayaks.

At Outdoor New England, we are not attempting to make money on the shipment of your products. Our goal is to keep it as affordable as possible. With the complexities of shipment types, companies, packaging and weight, often we ship items that cost us more to help you save. 

Regularly Sized Packaging

For orders that aren't oversized and total more than $99, we ship for free through USPS, FedEx or UPS.

If you'd like to expedite the package, a small fee is added to enable 2 day shipping options.

Freight Shipments

To ship kayaks and canoes, we use Less Than a Truckload (LTL) freight shipping companies. The boats will ship to a freight terminal or in some cases a business address close to the customer's home. Once the shipment has arrived at the terminal (or business) the customer will receive a call from us or the shipper to schedule the pickup. 

Flexible Deliveries via the ONE Logistics Team

In this post-covid era, freight shipments have been harder to schedule and cost  more, while products have never been sought after more. In an effort to save customer's money and get them what they need, we have implemented a grass roots shipping program. 

Our Outdoor New England Logistics Team are transient folks that go paddling all over the country. We've tried to catalog those trips to ensure we can help them with their gas money and help you get the boat you want, quite a bit cheaper. 

If you are interested in joining the Logistics Team fill this out.

For most industries, shipping is fairly consistent and affordable. In this day and age, often times shipping can be free to get  a sale. However, this industry isn't. 

Since the first day you could purchase a kayak online, shipping kayaks has been expensive. In an effort to save money, both for the customer and for us (FYI - most kayak companies subsidize the shipping of boats around the country), we've come up with a kayak delivery program. 

Our ONE Logistics Team will personally delivery your boat! 

We believe that this will help, build relationships and make costly shipments more affordable for everyone.

Kayak deliveries are based off preselected routes, destinations and schedules. Our crew will build the routes around paying customers, hence, first come first serve. However, we will do our best to be flexible and help as many people as we can. All kayak deliveries will depart from our home in Franklin, New Hampshire and we will deliver on our way to each final destination, and back, if applicable.
