Nova Craft Prospector 15

Popular Canadian Canoe with Lightweight Construction

The Nova Craft Prospector 15 is a 15 foot canoe and is the shortest model in the Prospector range. Keeping true to the hugely popular Prospector shape, just scaled down slightly. This shorter version is perfect for lighter/smaller paddlers, solo paddling or folks looking for a lighter, responsive and nimble canoe for added manoeuvrability. For those looking for a similar canoe but with more carrying capacity and stability then please look at the Prospector 16.

The Nova Craft Prospector 15 comes in a range of lightweight composite materials, most popular of which is TuffStuff. This laminate is a great choice for paddlers looking for a very light canoe for extended flat water trips. It's light weight also makes it possible to be picked up Single-handedly. For those looking for a more robust canoe but still want to retain a lightweight built then the TuffStuff Expedition is an excellent choice for an expedition grade canoe during extended wilderness trips and some occasional lower-grade white water use. For those looking for the lightest option should consider the Blue Steel construction.

For the strongest construction, Nova Craft Prospector 15 SP3 plastic is also available, providing all-round paddlers with the perfect choice for moving water and general recreational use. The tough SP3 canoes are very popular for centres and rental operators due to their durability and superb construction.

The Prospector 15 hull shape is so successful due to its versatility on a variety of different water types. With forgiving lines and slight rocker, the Prospector 15 is at home cruising down slow moving rivers as it is tackling small rapids or day trips on local canals or lakes.
