Maku Tukan Set: The Perfect Balance in a Complete and Durable Package
What's Included in This Great Value Package
We've put together this set specifically for couples who want a boat with sportier performance but don't want to compromise on the overall durability of the equipment:
- Tukan Maku Canoe: A beautiful plastic boat that combines the traditional shapes of old fiberglass boats with modern, indestructible polyethylene and wooden seats.
- 2 Profiplast paddles: An absolute classic on our rivers. Paddles with a solid duralumin shaft and a highly durable plastic blade that will last for years without any maintenance.
Maku Toucan: Speed and Stability on the Waves
While narrow boats can be a challenge for beginners and wide models tend to sit still in calm water, the Tukan strikes the perfect balance. It inherits fantastic forward speed from slimmer boats, but thanks to its slightly wider midsection, it provides the crew with a valuable dose of initial stability. It’s the ideal choice for pairs who want to add a bit of excitement to their ride, glide quickly through every eddy, and conserve energy on long stretches.
Shape and Hydrodynamics: Reliable Glide
The boat's design is characterized by perfect balance for a variety of Czech rivers:
- Width 84 cm: It provides the boat with minimal water resistance for a very smooth glide, yet offers sufficient stability to ensure the crew's safety.
- Traditionally pointed toes: They cut through the waves cleanly and smoothly, thereby significantly reducing bow splash when passing through smaller weir openings and waves.
- Excellent response when leaning: The bottom is shaped to keep you securely in place at the boundary between currents and allow you to lean the boat sharply onto its edge during evasive maneuvers.
Boat Construction: Solid wood and thick-walled plastic
A combination of high-performance materials for completely worry-free operation:
- Polyethylene shell: The hull, made of very rugged plastic, is designed to withstand hard impacts and constant scraping against summer gravel. You don't have to worry about punctures or time-consuming repairs.
- Wooden seats: A traditional detail that’s part of the boat’s design. The wood feels very pleasant to the touch, and in cold water, there’s no unpleasant chill like there is with molded plastic parts.
Profiplast Paddles: Raw Power in Every Stroke
We’ve included paddles in this set that are the true benchmark of durability in our region. The blade, made of sturdy engineering plastic, can withstand powerful strokes and forceful impacts against rocky bottoms. The duralumin shaft is covered with a heat-insulating sleeve at the grip for better thermal comfort, so your hands won’t get cold on cooler spring days.

Expert advice: Not sure how long the paddles in your set should be? For the stern paddler (steersman), choose a paddle that, when standing on the ground, reaches somewhere between the chin and the nose—a longer blade provides greater leverage for powerful and precise steering. The bow paddler (sitting in the front) can easily use a paddle that’s a hair shorter (roughly reaching the Adam’s apple or chin), which allows for a higher frequency of forward strokes. As for paddling the Tukan itself: this boat excels at the interface between currents, provided you can angle it correctly. When entering a eddy, don’t force the boat flat with brute strength; instead, lean your body slightly and tilt the hull toward the inside. The Tukan will react to this impulse instantly and turn with incredible sharpness and elegance.
