Swift Canoe & Kayak isn’t just about building canoes, kayaks, and pack boats—it’s about crafting the ultimate experience on the water. Since 1984, Swift has been pushing the limits of design and performance to create boats that are light, responsive, and seriously beautiful. Every model is born from decades of expertise, obsessive testing, and a passion for the outdoors that runs deep. Whether you're chasing sunsets, exploring hidden lakes, or heading out for a multi-day trip, a Swift boat moves with you—effortlessly, confidently, and with style. This isn’t mass production. It's lightweight.  It’s purpose-built. It’s adventure-ready.  It's your forever boat.

MSRP $3,650 / $3,795 (Kevlar Fusion)

This lightweight, stable solo canoe is the quintessential multi-purpose solo boat. If you prefer traditional paddling while kneeling with the boat heeled over, or sitting upright with your feet forward, the Prospector can accommodate any paddling style. A high-volume hull with moderate width but ample tumblehome, it features a high weight capacity for long distance trippers but offers the performance and feel of a sleek high-efficiency design. Quick to turn and easy to control, you can take your Prospector out for an afternoon of fishing or photography, or you can load it for days or weeks in the backcountry.
