Prospector 16 Combi
The Prospector design has been a figurehead of Canadian canoeing since the beginning, and the Swift Prospector 16 is our contribution to its legacy and rich heritage. Built from the foundation of a hundred years of dependability, the lightweight and durable Prospector 16 is now even more versatile.
With a centre seat in the balance point for quick and efficient high-volume solo tripping, and with tandem canoe seats for trips with a partner, you can outfit your equipment to suit your trip. Add a detachable yoke for the balance point to make portaging quick and easy. For paddlers who enjoy solo tripping and require space and volume, or for tandem trippers who want to keep their options open, Swift Combi canoes offer the benefits of multiple boats in one efficient design.
Ideal For; Multi Day Canoe Tripping, Solo Tripping, Family Paddling, Easy Portaging
Standard Options: Cherry Contour Seats, Bow Thwart, Centre Seat for solo paddling

Best All-Around Boat by Far
Had the boat for a short while, and it handles beautifully. We live in California so because of geography we find ourselves on rivers a fair amount. The boat turns and is highly maneuverable in tight conditions, but still manages to tracks beautifully on flat water. If you are looking for a perfect all around boat, go with this in expedition Kevlar (it’s built like a tank and still really light)
