Quick Links

In the early eighties, professional cabinet maker Alain Rhéaume turned his wood working skills towards the art of canoe building. Since that first canoe model, the product line has grown to include over 20 canoes, several display canoes and canoe bookcases. Almost every part on the boats and bookcases are handcrafted. The lacing for our rawhide seats, the hand caning and steam bent parts are all made at our factory in Saint-Tite, Québec. The love of fine wooden cedar boats inspires our craftsmen everyday and we love nothing more than to see our craftsmanship reflected on the surface of a calm lake or a river.

Overview

The Prospecteur 16’6 is one of the most popular models to have been marketed of all brands. It’s our tallest canoe. It can be used both on a calm lake and on a river since it can be maneuvered very quickly in order to avoid obstacles. Its reactivity remains present even if it is heavily loaded. It is also endowed with a remarkable stability both solo and tandem. This canoe adapts to any type of situation and is suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers.
