Esquif Huron 17 Lite - Mango
Indestructible T-Formex Lite that holds its shape
The Huron 17 is the first Esquif canoe built with T-Formex Lite, a durable laminate that shrugs off impacts and springs back to its original form. Its shallow-arch hull is based on the proven Prospecteur, cut shallower for a lighter, lower-profile ride.
- T-Formex Lite construction resists damage and returns to shape
- Shallow Arch hull based on the popular Prospecteur
- 3.5" of rocker at bow and stern for maneuverability
A generous 1,000 lb capacity for gear-heavy trips
At 17 feet with a 35-inch beam, the Huron 17 carries up to 1,000 lbs of paddlers and gear. It is ideal for wilderness explorers and families who need room for multi-day loads without sacrificing control.
- 1,000 lb (455 kg) maximum carrying capacity
- 17' length with a 35" beam for stable load-carrying
- Cut shallower than the Prospecteur for lighter loads
The lightest 17 in the series for easy carries
A foot longer than the 16 but a pound lighter, the Huron 17 tips the scales at just 59 lbs. The lower profile improves portaging and cartopping at the end of a long day and offers better tracking and control when the wind picks up.
- Just 59 lbs (26.76 kg) — the lightest 17 in the lineup
- Lower profile improves tracking and wind control
- Easier portaging and cartopping after long days
Webbed seats and vinyl gunwales, ready to upgrade
The Huron 17 comes outfitted with comfortable webbed seats and durable vinyl gunwales. Optional upgrades let you tailor the canoe to your expeditions.
- Webbed seats for all-day comfort
- Vinyl gunwales standard, wood gunwale option available
- Optional skid plates and third seat available

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 boat
📞 Call 434-392-6645 for shipping pricing on all canoes.
The Huron 17 Lite is the longest model in the Huron family, based on the popular Prospecteur hull but cut shallower for paddlers carrying less gear or anyone who wants a lighter 17-footer for easier portaging and car-topping at the end of a long day on the water. Its lower profile offers improved tracking and control when the wind picks up, and its T-Formex Lite construction makes it virtually indestructible — a canoe that will hold its shape and inspire confidence for many years to come.
Whether gliding across backcountry lakes or cruising wild rivers, the Huron 17 Lite is ready for your next adventure.
