Esquif Cargo 15 Canoe
One of the widest beams in its class for rock-solid stability
With a beam over 40 inches and a shallow arched hull, the Cargo 15 stays steady underfoot even when you stand to pole or sight-fish. The 2 inches of rocker keeps it maneuverable while the proud ends shed waves in open water.
- 41 3/8" beam delivers exceptional primary stability
- Shallow arched hull runs dry on lakes and coastal estuaries
- 2" rocker balances tracking with maneuverability
T-Formex construction that shrugs off rocks and holds its shape
Built from tough T-Formex, the Cargo 15 outlasts polyethylene alternatives and keeps its form season after season. At just 74 pounds it is 20 pounds lighter than the Cargo 17, making it far easier to car-top and portage.
- Durable T-Formex hull resists impacts and abrasion
- Lightweight 74 lb build for easy solo handling
- Optional skid plates add extra hull protection
Hauls dogs, gear, and game with 1,000 lb of capacity
A 1,000 lb carrying capacity and 16 inches of midship depth give you room for hunting dogs, harvested game, and a full load of gear. Webbed seats and vinyl gunwales keep it comfortable and rugged.
- 1,000 lb carrying capacity for heavy loads
- 16" depth midship keeps gear dry
- Webbed seats with optional wood gunwales and third seat
Square stern ready for a small outboard or electric motor

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.

About this canoe
📞 Call 1-800-442-4837 for shipping information and cost.
The Esquif Cargo 15 is the square stern sibling of the Cargo 17 — 20 lbs lighter and easier to car-top and portage. At 15 feet with one of the widest beams in its category (over 40"), it delivers maximum stability for hunting dogs, harvesting game, stand-up poling, and sight fishing. The shallow arched hull with proud ends runs dry in open water lakes and coastal inshore estuaries. Built with T-Formex, it outperforms and outlasts polyethylene canoes that warp and misshape over time. No trailer needed — just car-top it and go.
