I really like my canoe, which is a Prowler, formerly made by Blue Hole. I would think any canoe of similar proportions would be just the ticket. It is easily cartopped by one person, once you get the hang of it. It is small enough to be paddled by one person, but can handle two. I find canoes a little more comfortable than kayaks, wiht just as shallow a draft. The only down side I can think of is that the wind does push the thing around.
