The Pakboats Quest 150 is a one-person hybrid touring kayak designed for watersport enthusiasts who value both portability and on-water performance. As part of the Pakboats range of kayaks and canoes, it blends the convenience of an inflatable craft with the rigidity of a traditional touring boat, making it well-suited for day trips on lakes, rivers or sheltered coastal waters.
At 455 cm long and 61 cm wide, the Quest 150 delivers a stable ride without feeling sluggish. It weighs just 14.1 kg and packs down to 75 x 35 x 25 cm, so you can load it into a car or stow it in a small apartment. The 130 kg load capacity accommodates paddlers plus a bit of gear, while the hybrid build—combining tough PVC and PU fabrics with aluminium reinforcement—helps maintain hull shape and improves tracking through the water.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) provides a durable, puncture-resistant shell, while the PU (polyurethane) coating adds abrasion resistance where you need it most. The aluminium component reinforces the kayak’s structure, making it stiffer than a fully inflatable boat. Together, these materials balance light weight and robustness, so the Quest 150 stays responsive on the water and holds up against rocks or rough shorelines.
