Explore Esquif Touring Canoes

Some canoes are built for calm waters. The Prospecteur 17 is built for everything else. Designed by Esquif for serious river expeditions, this 17-foot touring canoe thrives where conditions turn demanding. Arctic waterways like the Nahanni, Mountain, and Hood rivers are its natural habitat — places where predictability, dryness, and stability aren't luxuries but necessities. With a carrying capacity of 455 kg and construction in Esquif's proprietary T-Formex material, the Prospecteur 17 handles heavy loads and hard impacts with quiet resilience. Yet it's equally composed on flatwater, offering cruising speed that keeps pace with longer journeys. The shallow arch hull and balanced rocker provide responsive handling in whitewater while maintaining composure through calmer stretches. For paddlers seeking a vessel that works as hard as they do — whether on a multi-day expedition or a weekend river run — this is the canoe that earns its place at the water's edge.
