Esquif Canoes, Made in Frampton, Quebec

Huron 16

The Huron 16 is ideal for cottagers and recreational canoeists who want a rugged canoe for paddling on calm bodies of water and small rivers but who don’t need the depth and capacity of the Prospecteur 16. The Huron 16 is pulled from the same mold as the Prospecteur 16 but we trim it down to 12.5”, as opposed to 14.5”. The lower profile reduces the weight and makes it easy to paddle in breezy conditions as either a solo or tandem.

A larger craft for those requiring a little more space and capacity for equipment, or additional paddling companions, be it adults, youths, kids, or dogs.  This boat is the workhorse of river expeditions. It has excellent dryness and carrying capacity in addition to superior whitewater performance. It is the boat for the great Arctic rivers such as the Nahanni, Mountain and Hood and offers predictability, dryness and stability for short river trips. It also has excellent cruising speed for flatwater. This is the perfect compliment to our whitewater touring line, wich includes the Prospecteur 16, the Présage and the Canyon.

Based on traditional Esquif models, the Rangeley 17 is the ideal canoe for all hunting and fishing environments. Our newest and most adaptable materials permit the manufacturing of time-tested styles in modern formats, making for light, easy handlings and car loadings of the boat.

With a very high capacity for gear and anglers, the Rangeley 17 is a wonderful option for those looking for a flay-styled boat, suited for all hunting and fishing conditions. We offer the boats in the traditional wood trim, or with robust vinyl gunwales that allow for rod holders and accessories to be mounted securely.
