The Prospecteur 17’4 is our longest composite model. It is the canoe with the greatest cargo capacity given its large size. Its length allows it to glide very well on the water, which makes it a fast boat. Its size will not prevent you from paddling it solo, on the contrary. Appreciated for long expeditions, it will also satisfy fans of occasional or daily trips. One thing is certain, its elegance will undoubtedly turn heads.
