The materials most often used to craft canoes are plastic, aluminum, fiberglass, Kevlar, and wood.

Wooden canoes are often the most expensive canoes available in the market.

Used canoes can be discounted up to half the price they did when they were new, however, some canoes hold their value better than others.
