Venture Canoes Hunter 17 by Venture

With the Venture Hunter, your family will all be in the same boat - literally.

The Hunter is a truly versatile load-carrying expert; fill it up with people or equipment and it'll take you anywhere you want to go. A relatively flat hull profile gives the Hunter superb stability, which lends itself well to beginners or those who want their adventure photos to be in sharp focus!

Designed for long distance touring, the Venture Hunter has heaps of space and plenty of speed to help you achieve that next big expedition goal in comfort, as well as being equally at home on a simple family day trip, with enough load capacity for the most extravagant of lakeside picnics or the accompaniment of the most excitable of Great Danes (make sure they have a doggie buoyancy aid though!).

The perfect family craft; the Hunter can be outfitted with 2,3 or even 4 seats to get everyone out on the water. Ask us about customisation to suit your every need.

Available in two construction options:

CoreLite Construction

CL is a three layer construction that gives an exceptional Weight-to-Rigidity ratio, taking advantage of the fact that only the outer layers of the material are required to bear compressive and tensile forces by using a lighter, rigid foam inner layer; this foam core has the added benefit of giving the whole canoe enough inherent buoyancy to keep it at the waterline in the event of swamping. The HDPE used for the outer layers is both highly durable and readily repairable.

TriLite Construction

Exclusive to Venture, TriLite increases hull stiffness and reduces weight, enhancing the performance of our leading hull designs for a more responsive boat.

Easier to rooftop, easier to carry, easier to paddle.
