April, 2025

I purchased a Venetian gondola from Wooden Boat USA in June 2023, and I have to say, it’s been an amazing purchase! Right from the start, I could tell the craftsmanship was top-notch. The boat is still as beautiful as the day I got it, and the ride is just incredible. At first, I’ll admit, it was a bit bumpy as I got used to handling the gondola, especially when I added the electric motor. I wasn’t quite sure how to balance the boat properly with the motor on, and I had a few wobbly moments as I figured out the controls. But after just a couple of practice outings, it was smooth sailing! Now, the motor provides a nice, quiet, and steady ride, which is perfect for when I want to relax and not paddle. Whether I’m gliding across a calm lake or enjoying a sunset, the gondola is such a peaceful and fun way to spend my time. It feels luxurious, stable, and always turns heads. The motor has made it so much more convenient on those days when I just want to enjoy the ride without any effort, and I love how easy it is to switch between paddling and using the motor. If you’re thinking about getting a gondola, I highly recommend Wooden Boat USA. The quality is unmatched, and I know I’ll be enjoying this beautiful boat for years to come. It’s been such a great investment, and I continue to love every time I take it out on the water!

GUIDELINES FOR USE

CARE:

With a little bit of care and maintenance, your beautiful canoe can last for generations. While our products are certainly durable and solid, they still require the right type of care and handling to ensure that they perform optimally.

  • It is recommended that you rinse your canoe off with fresh clean water after every use.
  • Upon returning from the trip, allow your canoe to air-dry in the shade.

STORAGE:

Besides taking care of your canoe, storage also plays an essential role in maintaining your canoe’s appearance and beauty.

  • Always store your wooden canoe in shade.
  • Turn it upside down on the support thereby keeping it off the ground.
  • Hanging your boat from the rafters in your garage or shop would be ideal storage.

REPAIR:

Minor scratches can be repaired by marine spar vanish or some brand of automobile wax. Smooth the damaged area with sand paper, wipe clean, then apply marine spar vanish.

SAFETY:

Wooden Boat USA strongly recommends that a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is worn whenever paddling.
