Pack canoe
Mayfly Pack
A floor-mounted seat, foot braces, and double-blade paddling position create a comfortable, approachable platform.
A platform that delivers quick sporty acceleration and a lively feel.
Lightweight and easy to manage, it’s built for efficient day travel, without unnecessary bulk.
The Mayfly hull translates naturally to a pack setup. Its narrow paddling station and low sides make double-blade reach feel easy and efficient, without having to lift your stroke high off the water. sitting low with foot braces keeps you connected to the hull, and the slight V helps it move forward quickly with a clean, direct feel. Compared to the Nessmuk, the Mayfly Pack is quicker and more playful — it tends to cut through small chop rather than rise over it.

Is the Mayfly Pack the right canoe for you?
The Mayfly Pack is a sporty pack canoe designed to be paddled low with a double blade. If you prefer a more traditional canoe seating position — sitting higher and using a single-blade paddle — the standard Mayfly will likely feel more natural.
Among pack canoes, the Mayfly Pack leans toward a quicker, more responsive feel. Paddlers looking for a calmer, more relaxed platform for unhurried travel often gravitate toward the Nessmuk instead.
