NO LONGER IN BUSINESS.
The voyager 3 packraft by Adelie packrafts is a really well made, versatile and cost effective packraft.

If your interested in taking up packrafting and not sure because of the large sums of money that the big producers are charging for the products then the range of packrafts by Adélie packrafts are the way forward.
Adélie packrafts are new on the scene and are taking over from Longshore Packrafts by offering good quality / cost effective Packrafts to the U.K. Market.
Based in Scotland. U.K. Adélie Packrafts started when three friends realised that many people could afford the prices of the big name rafts on the market.
They reasoned that they probably weren’t the only people in this situation and decided to do something about it.

The Packrafts are produced in China to a really good quality and imported en-mass which keeps the retail price down.
Currently there is one style of packraft produced Adelie packrafts. They come in 3 different sizes for a single occupant, the voyager 1, a larger version classed as a 1+, Voyager Team which is a fully customisable packraft for 2.
Adelie Packrafts offer a bespoke design if you are after something specific.
All in all if you are after a cost effective packraft then this packraft is the one to look at.
Specifications of the Voyager by Adelie packrafts.
The sizing of the Voyager covers pretty all aspects of personal size and needs of a packraft.
Voyager 1

Voyager is the flagship product. Named in homage to the Canadian voyageurs of old it is a light weight, dependable raft with specifications and materials comparable to models twice its price.
Construction
• 210D single-coated TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) tubes
• 840D single coated TPU floor
• Seams are both sewn and welded.
• Boston valve for ease of inflation
• Four attachment points at the bow, two at the stern
• Detachable thermoplastic skeg
The Voyager comes in three sizes. See our sizing page for advice on choosing the one that’s right for you.
What’s included:
• Voyager packraft
• Inflatable seat and inflatable back rest*
• Storage sack
• Inflation bag
• Spares and repairs kit (fabric to match your raft’s upper and bottom, plus spare screw top for Boston valve)
• Strapping tape
Voyager 1+

The Voyager 1+ is the largest one-person packraft. Or is it our smallest two-person packraft? It’s both!
Construction
- 210D single-coated TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) tubes
- 840D single coated TPU floor
- Seams are both sewn and welded
- Boston valve for ease of inflation
- Four attachment points at the bow, two at the stern
- Detachable thermoplastic skeg for straight-line tracking
The Voyager 1+ is bigger and chunkier than the Voyager size three. The tubes have a larger diameter and the packraft is a bit wider, making it more buoyant and stable. It’s really big for one, and can take two for short hops
Voyager Team.

The Voyager Team shares the same material specifications as the Voyager and the Voyager 1+. The Voyager Team is made to be comfortable for two passengers for extended paddling sessions and is available in three sizes.
Construction
• 210D single-coated TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) tubes*

Test paddle of the Voyager by Adelie Packrafts.
Adélie sent me size 3 to test. As I’m 185cm tall I thought the a packraft with internal dimensions of 150cm would be suitable.

Initial thoughts of the voyager 3 by Adelie packrafts.
Compared to other lightweight Packrafts like the Alpacka Caribou or the Alpha by Aqua-Xtreme, the voyager 3 is quite heavy. Weighing in at 3.1kg it is fairly heavy.
I wouldn’t use this raft on a multi day hiking adventure but for a short micro adventure it’s perfect.
The voyager 1 has a total weight of 2.1kg but internal size of 95cm.
Obviously the weight is due to the larger size and this also shows when rolling up the packraft it is quite large.
Personally I think I could have gotten away with size 2 (with and internal measurement of 120cm but I wanted to try something bigger.
The seams of the packraft are all stitched and heat sealed and after a thorough they all seem really well constructed.
The floor is made of a single coated 840d TPU (Compared to double coated 840d tpu that is used on most lightweight packable Packrafts).
Gear Loops.
There are 6 gear loops (2 on the stern and 4 on the front). On the voyager 3 the bow gear loop are in the perfect place to be able to secure a bike on if you are looking for a larger packraft for bike rafting.
Many smaller lightweight Packrafts are not made for bike rafting but are just used as a bike raft.
Check out the Apacka Caribou. If you are looking for a raft specifically for bike rafting.
After rolling out the voyager 3 the first thing is inflating it.
The packraft comes with its own fill bag. The bag itself is really lightweight which I personally prefer compared to the heavy duty fill bags. Heavy duty bags take up a lot more space in your bag.
Personally I use a small rechargeable battery pump by flextail gear. At £20 from Amazon you can fill a raft 3 times (plus you can use it for your air mattress etc as well.
Boston valves are used on the packraft and the seat.
It took about 10 minutes using the inflation bag (including manual inflation to create the pressure) before it was ready to use.
The Skeg.
I had never paddled a packraft with a skeg before and after paddling the voyager 3 with a skeg I am completely sold.
It tracked really well compared to a packraft without without one.
Paddling the Adelie Packrafts Voyager 3.
As mentioned above the voyager 3 paddles really well with the skeg. Maximum speed of around 4kmh (which is standard for a Packraft).
I am really impressed with this packraft and I mean really impressed with it. The shape is really good, it’s well balanced, made really well and a pleasure to paddle.
Have a look at the videos below showing the test paddle of the Voyager by Adelie Packrafts.
looks like these are Audac Sports – Frontier packrafts. I’m considering the purchase of a Frontier packraft.
Yes, they are made by audac.
