Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3
The Nova Craft Prospector 16 open canoe in SP3 triple-layer plastic is one of the best value, versatile and toughest canoes for all-round use that money can buy. The Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3 combines a high carrying capacity and bomb-proof build quality with responsiveness and performance to the very highest standards. This is one of the main reasons why you'll find the prospector 16 SP3 in many centres used for day canoe hire on the Norfolk broads and around the UK. Commercial operators understand just how these canoes are built to last and can be paddled by all sorts of people with practically any level of experience.
For a beginner, the Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3 forms an ideal partner and is great for family paddling, day trips and adventures. The intermediate paddlers will learn a great deal from having such a manoeuvrable and adjile canoe while advanced paddlers will appreciate the way the Prospector 16 can take on some fairly serious whitewater, yet still be efficient over a long journey through calm, open waters.
The hull of the Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3 gives a nice dry ride thanks to high sides and a bow profile that helps deflect water as you punch down rapids. The rocker allows you to pivot the Prospector 16 SP3 expertly on the spot and the forgiving and predictable nature of the hull allows you to edge the boat when paddling solo.
One feature that makes this such a versatile canoe is the fact that it can be paddled so well whether you are solo or in tandem.For many people this means that the Prospector 16 SP3 ticks many boxes on their personal wish lists of features they need from an open canoe. However if you're looking for an expedition or a family canoe to carry more, perhaps consider the Nova Craft Prospector 17 as well.
The Nova Craft Prospector 16 is also available in Nova Craft's superb Tuff Stuff and Tuff Stuff Expedition composite materials for those looking for a lightweight canoe that is also extremely tough and resilient.
For solo use, we suggest fitting a Kneeling Thwart.
