How long is a piece of string? Since canoes were made in many different sizes for different purposes, the number of people carried in them would vary.

Some Iroquois canoes were intended to carry a war party or huge supplies of goods and could be up to 30 feet long; around 18 warriors could easily be carried in such a large boat. There would also be many smaller canoes intended to carry a family, for fishing or carrying a small party of men - despite the misinformation available on the internet, not all Iroquois tribes made their canoes 30 feet long.

Experts have written that the elm-bark and dugout canoes used by the Iroquois tribes were far inferior to those of their Algonquian neighbours (who generally used birch bark) and that consequently the Iroquois groups preferred to travel on foot whenever possible.

How many people fit in canoe?

it of course depends on the size of the canoe! a "normal" canoe (about 15' long) can have 3 seats, its easier with 2 people (and room for the coolbox and beers) but they can also be paddled solo (by sitting on one side and using different types of stroke (you dont as many people believe keep swapping sides with the paddle)) if the question was how many physically fit, ive been in a boat with 12 other people before the edges were below the water and it sunk :D)


How many people can fit in a small canoe?

Most canoes fit three people - two paddlers and a "duffer" in the middle who does not have a seat, and usually does not paddle. If your canoe is on the small side, there may be less room for the duffer to sit comfortably. Specially designed "solo canoes" are made to be able to be paddled by one person, but are still usually big enough to fit two or even three people.
