Do you prefer traveling as a couple or with the family? Are you particularly interested in discovering unknown places together and realizing new ideas when planning excursions? Then our multi-person packrafts from the Current-Raft series Merge are the right choice for you.  

Our models from the Merge series offer the opportunity for shared tours for two or trips with children. High payload, extra strong materials and great stability make it a truly flexible packraft. Whether for fishing, river hiking, bike rafting, camping or light whitewater trips (until WW2), the Merge is always the perfect companion. We keep the weight (from 3200g) and pack size so low that the raft fits in every apartment and also contributes to unforgettable experiences as luggage.

For multi-person packrafts, several factors play a role in the choice of length. Area of use, paddling duration and intended load capacity should play a role. As a basic rule, it should be noted that longer packrafts are slightly heavier and have better straight-line stability in the water. Shorter packrafts, on the other hand, are more maneuverable and less susceptible to side waves and wind. The 270cm edition is particularly suitable for paddling with children or pets. All other packraft lengths are designed for two adults. We are of course happy to advise you on this at any time!

• We recommend using the bladder bag to inflate and applying the remaining pressure to the packraft with your mouth. This procedure ensures sufficient pressure in the tubes and protects the material. If a pressure pump is used for inflation, we recommend not exceeding the pressure of 0.08 bar or 1.2 PSI.
• The packrafts can be used without restrictions in salt water or chlorinated pools. In this case, however, you should make sure to rinse off any salt or chlorine residue thoroughly before storing.
• The packrafts should always be stored dry and dust-free. The latter is especially important when using a TZIP storage system. A dry, well-ventilated room without direct sunlight is best for storage. After you get home from your paddling trip, let your packrafts dry thoroughly when inflated. Pay particular attention to moisture between theedges. The packraft can be rolled or folded very small without causing any damage. The coaming can also be double wrapped and put together without any problems.
• The zipper on the packraft (if available) or bow pocket requires regular care and should always be well lubricated to ensure smooth opening and to avoid damage caused by strong pulling. We recommend environmentally friendly greasing with our beeswax stick or a comparable product. In addition, the zipper should always be stored dust-free and without kinks.
• To avoid overinflation, the packrafts should never be placed on land in the sun for a long period of time. After removing it from the water, it is always advisable to let some air out of the packraft. The same applies to any inflatable equipment.
• After paddling, sand and small stones should be completely removed from the inside of the packrafts. In particular, the transition area between tubes and ground, as well as tubes and spray deck, should be kept free of dirt in order to avoid friction and damage in the long term.

• Non-swimmers do not belong in a packraft. Anyone who takes non-swimmers out on the water carries a high risk.
• If possible, do not paddle alone. Always leave where and until when you plan to travel.
• Take water sports and safety courses with certified trainers.
• Inquire about the dangers of the water - water levels, ebb and flow, currents, weirs and weather conditions. We strongly advise against driving during floods.
• Avoid weirs, power stations and dams of all kinds. There is often a danger to life here, so it is recommended to carry them over a wide area.
• Take first aid and rescue equipment with you on the water.
• Wear clothing appropriate for the weather. Cold weather and water can cause hypothermia.
• Assess your ability correctly and plan tours according to the weakest group member.
• Keep your distance from other water users, especially all motor ships and sailing vessels. Packrafts almost always have to give way and are difficult to see by the skipper.
• Observe the inland waterway and sea shipping regulations. They apply to all shipping lanes and canals and contain binding rules for all watercraft.
• Put on a life jacket or, on large bodies of water, a fainting-proof life jacket and head protection. When whitewater rafting, wear a cold-weather suit and a helmet.
• Particular dangers exist on white water and on the coast. These waters can only be navigated with special equipment and by experienced paddlers, ideally with expert guidance and local guidance.
• The emergency exit from the packraft should be practiced. We recommend practicing quick exits on land, in the pool or under supervision.
• In the event of additional modifications to the packraft, getting in and out must not be impaired.
• Getting back on the water should be mastered safely before navigating open water or white water.
