Enigma Canoes Prospector 17


A true classic in the canoe world - the Prospector hull design offers a fantastic combination of forwards speed, maneoverability and excellent load capacity. The Prospector 17 from Enigma Canoes is a great choice for paddlers wanting a versatile craft that will comfortably tackle gentle to moderate moving water on rivers, yet has adequate straight line tracking and forwards speed to be efficient on open waters when crossing or exploring lakes and estuaries. Such versatility makes this model a great choice for paddling partners wanting to embark on adventures exploring interlinked waterways that may cover various paddling environments. It also makes a great canoe for families where two adults and several children may want to head out on day trips and weekend camping adventures.


The moderate rocker on the hull handles choppier waters well, yet allows the hull to be turned more easily when put on edge. The wide hull will allow even the first time paddler to feel stable and secure when taking their first paddle strokes into the world of canoeing. The Prospector 17 is a great option for outdoor activity centres wanting a versatile craft for session use by paddlers of a wide range of abilities.


Outfitted with two traditional oiled Wood-Web seats, thwart and yoke with plenty of space to add additional seats should they be required. Constructed with a robust triple layer hull and tough vinyl gunwales and deck ends, you can be assured that your Enigma Canoe will serve you well for many years of happy paddling!
