Enigma Prospector 17
The longest of the Prospector series, the 17 foot model is a true workhorse with a well balanced combination of forward speed, manoeuvrability and the largest carrying capacity of any Enigma Canoe. This wide stable canoe is perfect for families and remains a popular choice with outdoor centres and rental operators across the UK.
Inspired by what is considered the best all-round general purpose canoe shape, the Prospector 17 has a moderate rocker for manoeuvrability combined with a forgiving hull-shape making it appropriate for most water types. This is particularly appropriate when doing multi-day trips across various water bodies such as lake touring into rivers or canals into open water, and also those looking complete day trips and wanting one canoe to do it all.
Moulded and outfitted here in the UK, the Enigma Canoes Prospector 17 is made of highly durable materials including a triple layer polyethene plastic hull, robust vinyl gunwales and oiled ash wood work. 2x comfortable wood-webbed seats are fitted as standard, although robust plastic bench seats can be fitted as an alternative seating option (please contact us). It is worth noting that this is not a lightweight canoe at 44kg, and we would recommend considering a trolley to make transportation easier.
A symmetrical hull shape allows the Prospector to be effectively trimmed for maximum efficiency when paddling solo. Whilst ample storage capacity and a long waterline makes this equally as appropriate for families/friends to use. As with all Enigma Canoes, we offer a free of charge click and collect service from any of our UK wide collection points.
