I still don �t know the difference between a canoe and a kayak - is one only for one person or is it the shape?!

Samantha �s pictures the clearest and easiest, but you can also tell them by how they are used.
A kayak you sit lower, right down in the bottom of the boat, and you use both ends of your paddle, you can even roll totally upside down in a kayak and come up back up (it �s really cool to do by the way!). People love them for going down fast rivers with fast moving water and drops, avoiding rocks. Usually you have one person in a kayak.
For a canoe, you only use one side of your paddle, and you can �t roll them over. Usually you have 2-3 people in a canoe.
A ferry is used to move cars across water, ie as you drive to work, you take a ferry to get your car across a big river.
A yacht you ride on for fun, just to go out for a ride or a party with friends.
