>>2750056kayak pros: generally faster, easier to wet reentry, built in "dryer" storage space, handles shitty seas better, can learn to roll and self rescue easier than soloing a canoe imo, usually lighter. kayak cons: mostly solo (altho tandem kayaks), can haul less gear, can't mount a motor as easy, easier to fish from. Really depends on what you want /out/ of it and how you plan to use it.
