Originally interested in bicycle touring for it’s small budget travel abilities and versatility to go almost anywhere, we first stumbled upon these awesome little boats around 2014.  For us, a packraft was the perfect partner for the touring bike. A must have for adventurers, and essential for anyone wanting to explore real wilderness independently.

After many years of offering this, we saw a demand for pre-made packrafts that were affordable, but still adventure ready. This is why we introduced The Paddle Ready IRON RAFT in 2023. Despite selling our pre-made IRON RAFTs, we still sell our DIY packrafts too so everybody is given the chance to experience what packrafting can offer.
