Excellent service, good quality
Excellent service. Arrived in Germany without problems. Ironed it together as described in the video, with the iron mentioned on the website. I went on a 250km boat trip down the Danube in Germany and Austria without any single problem! Tip: buy some extra seam sealer, the 2 tubes where not enough in my case.
Highly recommended!

,.Great service, and price, The only place in the UK were to get extra "equipment tie down loops" to glue to a packraft.

Hi Mick, thank you for your review!
First impressions are very good
First impressions are very good. I'm currently about a quarter of the way through the construction. All the instructions /videos are very detailed and easy to follow. All the pieces of the raft are pre cut and well packaged. Heat sealing didn't take as long to get the hang of as I had first thought and I'm finding the build very enjoyable.

Great little raft to build
Great little raft to build. Works excellently to pack light. Takes a while to build but with patience and the youtube tutorials anyone could build it. However I think my small orange packraft was cut slightly wrong but I emailed them and they responded quickly and helpfully so I was able to work around it with some extra effort and time. Would recommend. Especially for the price compared to other packrafts. My girlfriend has already ordered the next one.

For people who like to make things and get outdoors!
A great project for people who like outdoor adventures and enjoy making things. It's not a complicated build process, but it isn't a quick one so if you don't enjoy making things you might get frustrated!

Hi Isa,
Thank you for your review.
We are obviously very disappointed with this outcome.
Unfortunately, as we communicated we do not have the plans for our boats currently for sale. This is why we simply stated that we could not send our plans over for our product and advised you to another company that could. We are sorry that we could not fulfil your requests on this occasion and hope you reevaluate your review as this is not a reflection on our product itself or the company.
If you would like to discuss this further, or talk to us about your recent review, please reply to our email we sent your way.
Cheers,
Iron Raft

Hi John,
Thanks for your recent review.
Happy to hear you found the service good as well as the products!
Regarding shipping, unfortunately it is, due to the size of the parcels we send out (most are over 1m in size) the shipping is high. Although this is something we are constantly looking at bringing down.
Thank you,
Iron Raft
