The Chestnut Prospector 16 Royalex has probably been described more often in text than any other canoe, it's just that popular. Our version of this venerable craft is faithful to the original - we've gone out of our way to continue the tradition so future generations of paddlers can enjoy this icon of Canadian history. While it is best suited for river tripping, it remains versatile enough to be a good all round canoe.

With experience, the self-righting aspects of the shallow arch hull will become apparent and confidence levels will soar. What?s more, it provides a very dry ride in big waves and white water. The Prospector is simply the best all round tripping canoe available.
