An open canoe is adapted for use in white water by means of a removable top deck which is attached to the gunwales of the canoe and generally covers the open top except for cockpit openings for the paddlers. Suspended from the under side of the top deck are one or more buoyant chambers which fill one-third or more of the open space in the canoe hull. The deck member tends to limit the flow of white water into the hull, and the buoyant chamber limits the available space in the hull for the accumulation of water, so that the amount of water taken in by the canoe is limited, which enables more effective use of the boat.
