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 17’4 is our longest composite model. It is the canoe with the greatest cargo capacity given its large size. Its length allows it to glide very well on the water, which makes it a fast boat. Its size will not prevent you from paddling it solo, on the contrary. Appreciated for long expeditions, it will also satisfy fans of occasional or daily trips. One thing is certain, its elegance will undoubtedly turn heads.
