Bell Canoes
Sad to say BELL CANOES are no longer available. We do have a couple really nice USED Bell Canoes in stock.
The parent corporation of Bell Canoe Works [ORC industries] has announced they will no longer manufacture canoes.
Unfortunately, poor service is NOT limited to cheap canoes. Don't be fooled! In these days of poor customer service, your warranty is only as good as the place you buy from.
Just like for the last 50+ years, Oak Orchard has parts in stock for the brands we recommend and sell. We can repair the canoe you bought from us and get you back on the water. Just like for the last 50+ years, we can phone our rep (a real live person that know what we are talking about) at Old Town, Esquif, Rheaume or Wenonah and easily get parts for the service you need.
We get calls all the time from people trying to find parts for those very "unique" custom high end canoes, unfortunately parts are just not available, anywhere. What will you do WHEN your seat, endcap or gunwale BREAKS? You can't even get a yoke or handle to fit them. We call them "white elephants" -canoes which turn out to be a costly mistake and provide a hobby of frustration rather than fun."
For 50+ years Oak Orchard Canoe Kayak Experts has proven that you can see ALL the best brands in one place. PLUS... on-site warranty, on-site repairs, in stock parts AND... lessons, rentals, free try-before-you buy. AND... knowledgeable sales people that spend the time to help you buy the right canoe -the first time.
NOTICE... The company that made the Royalex material for BELL and ALL other canoe brands has stopped production. Royalex was great material for canoes which we sold for many years. If you need a Light canoe that is VERY durable, we now have the new and improved Royalex 2.0 replacement in stock, called T-formex. Examples of high-quality T-formex canoes would be Esquif and Wenonah. T-formex has proven to be the best canoe material by far, if you need Lots of durability and a reasonable weight.
