A outrigger apparatus for connecting a pontoon to a canoe and placing a platform therebetween. The outrigger apparatus includes a pontoon portion. A coupling means couples the pontoon portion to a canoe. The coupling means includes a pair of bars. Each of the bars is elongate, having a first end, and a second end. Each of the first ends of the bars is removably coupled to the top peripheral edge of the canoe. A pair of brackets removably couples the second ends of the bars to the pontoon portion. Each of the brackets is elongate, and each has a base portion and an arm portion. The base portions of the brackets are removably coupled to the pontoon portion. Each of the second ends of the bars is removably coupled to one of the brackets. A support portion supports the user. The support portion is a platform. The platform has a pair of opposing edges. Each of the opposing edges is rested on one of the bars.
