DEMO OPPORTUNITY. We now have open water on the beautiful Mascoma Lake here in Enfield, NH. Give us a call at 603-632-9500 if you would like to try one of our boats. 

NEW! We have installed a high-performance sailing rig from BSD Sail Design on the Puffin Saco. So far,sailing-saco we are in an early stage of testing this combination, but it looks promising. As you can see from the picture, the whole package is practically "floating on air". We will add information as testing progresses. 

We hope you will be inspired by all the opportunities that a truly portable and efficient folding canoe or kayak can offer. Our own paddling trips have taken us to several countries and given us many treasured memories, and we hope you will have similar experiences.

Here you will find a wide selection of folding canoes and kayaks along with accessories to help you get maximum enjoyment out of your Pakboat. And you will find many stories and pictures that customers have sent to us from their trips all over the World. Please click on Canoe Adventures or Kayak Adventures on the left of the screen and explore the adventures others have had to see what opportunities may be in store for you.

A few words about Packable Boats:

Canoes and kayaks that you can pack for travel are generally folding or inflatable. Both have their special advantages, and Pakboats combine the best features of both. In each Pakboat, a complete aluminum frame provides efficient lines and rigidity, while inflatable tubes provide tensioning and flotation. The combination of frame and inflatable tubes make a much more compact structure than air alone, and a Pakboat has much more interior space than a similar size inflatable canoe or kayak. The unique Pakboats structures are also much lighter and pack smaller. Similar size inflatables weigh about 50% more than a Pakboat.
