A canoe for All Paddlers

The Prospector 15 is an accessible choice for beginners and experienced adventurers alike. Its compact size and balanced design are ideal for solo paddlers who appreciate the ease of maneuvering, while also catering to tandem trippers looking for a short-duration, comfortable canoe.

Enhanced Seaworthiness

The flared hull allows the Prospector 15 to shed water more effectively than other 15-foot canoes, keeping the paddler dry even in choppy waters. The slight V-hull design provides both initial and secondary stability, improving balance in both calm and rough water, while also ensuring the canoe tracks smoothly.

Nimble

The Prospector 15 offers exceptional performance that rivals longer canoes. The moderate rocker and compact length give it the agility to quickly pivot and navigate through tight spots or when making sudden turns. This makes the Prospector 15 not only efficient for longer paddles but also quick and responsive when quick maneuvers are required, such as navigating through narrow or tricky waterways.
