The Prospector is probably the most famous of all canoe designs and has never been bettered for all-round performance. We are proud to have this as the basis for one of our most successful canoes.
Combining this classic shape, performance with our new CoreLite material, the result is a hard wearing craft that is ideal for centres and enthusiasts who have paddling whitewater high on their priority list.

NEW CORELITE MATERIAL A breakthrough in 3 layer open canoe hull construction.
All Venture Canoes are made from our new CoreLite material making them some of the lightest, stiffest and toughest polyethylene canoes on the market.
Up to 5kg lighter than the equivalent models = easier to carry and paddle.
Increased rigidity = increased resistance to distortions.
Significant increases in abrasion resistance = less wear & tear and longer life for your canoe.
The classic Prospector is probably the most famous ‘canoe’ design of all time and this new 15ft version from Venture Canoes follows those traditional lines closely, fusing them with the very latest in manufacturing technologies and materials.
Whether you plan to go out on a short trip, explore your local waters or thrill seek some whitewater paddling, the Prospector 15 will carry you through it all!
A classic design that has never been bettered in terms of all round performance, with a symmetrical hull and soft tumblehome you’ll quickly gain confidence for paddling in all conditions. This versatile craft tracks and manoeuvres easily and is responsive whilst paddling solo or with another person on board.
