Honestly, from my experience, if you just wanna have a relaxed day on the lake, go for a rowboat. They feel super stable and you don’t have to worry much about tipping over, especially if you’ve got kids or gear with you. I’ve used them for fishing and they’re just perfect for that. Canoes? They’re cool and all, especially if you like a bit of a challenge and want something faster. They glide nice and are fun once you get the hang of paddling. But if you’re not too careful, especially in rough waters, you might find yourself swimming! So, choose based on what you’re up for.
