How did Paqualife begin?

A solution to a problem…

For us, packrafts solved a problem we had been trying to find a solution for, for years.

We had a RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) and always struggled with how we could get our small family from boat to shore safely and conveniently when anchored in a harbour. For years we used the ‘typical’ PVC inflatable tandem kayak that was almost 20kg, took up a lot of deck space, took an age to inflate and once on shore had to be left on the beach at risk of damage, being stolen or blown away. It was heavy and cumbersome and we thought ‘there must be something better out there!’.

We were after something compact, lightweight, easy to inflate and stable on the water and after some online research we came across MRS packrafts and ‘voila’, here was our solution!

Not only could a packraft solve our problem but it could open up so many more adventure opportunities – we wanted to spread the word, and so Paqualife was born!

Having both come from boating families they enjoy being active and out on the water and love the versatility that a packraft can offer. They are passionate about growing the packrafting community in the UK and wish to be visible and approachable to their customers, whether that be to offer advice on what product best suits them, get feedback on their packrafting experiences or to listen to customers on what else they would like to see within the MRS range. Please get in touch and they would be happy to help.

“The Microraft is an absolute brilliant all-round packraft, I really recommend it!”

Martin G.

“Have had our packraft for 2-3 years now and found it to be a great bit of kit. Well made and suitable for the range of water conditions. Particularly handy is the ease of transport, to launch sites on foot or carrying on bikes. All paddle kit easily fits in a roof box and light enough that can still raise the roof without problems.”
Dave P. 

“The Microraft is brilliant for just getting out and going, being super light its no struggle carrying it to the waterway, it tracks great and is quick to inflate. I suffer with sciatica and after 8 hours of paddling the seating position meant I wasn’t in any pain. Wish I’d bought one before.

Overall I’m 100% happy with my purchase (and check out the quick dry polo’s, they’re great!)”

Thomas 

“My MRS Ponto has opened up so many options for wild camping trips, thank you Paqualife!”

Mark H.

“I love how packrafts allow me to explore the great outdoors in ways I couldn’t without such kit!”

Martin 

 

“Packrafting has allowed me to explore places I never thought possible and I can take my dog with me which is such a bonus”

Jess 

 

“What can I say the polo fits perfectly, sizes are true, very light and cool top, dries quickly as stated in name,
Very nice top”

Thomas

 

“Paqualife were super helpful and proactive in getting my MRS Nomad repaired and for a reasonable price. It only took 4 weeks door to door and I am very grateful to be back on the water. Thanks guys”
