Tour Companies who feature Feathercraft Kayaks on some of their trips:

• Black Feather
  "The name is Feathercraft, but they are certainly not 'featherweights' in the sea kayaking ring! Although they are remarkably light, Feathercraft kayaks are tough and rugged. Black Feather has been using Feathercraft expedition models on our Greenland sea kayaking trips since 1987, and believe it or not, a few of the original 6 K2 Expeditions are still going strong! This is over 20 years of 'institutional' use. Yes, there are more than a few patches, and numerous frame pieces have been replaced, but the fact of the matter is that the Feathercraft kayak is a boat worthy of the ice-choked fjords of Greenland. Our trip participants find the Feathercraft comfortable and easy to use. The adjustable seat height allows people of varying heights to sit comfortably. The ample leg room and storage capacity is great for extended journeys. And, at the end of the trip, we can pack it neatly away, and store with our local Greenlandic friends until the next year. Finally, the support and professionalism of the Feathercraft team in Vancouver is excellent. Whether it is ordering a spare part, questions about assembly or logistics of shipping to a remote village in northern Greenland, the Feathercraft folks are friendly and helpful." - Wendy Grater, Owner, Black Feather - The Wilderness Adventure Company

• Explorers Corner
  "The superior quality and seaworthiness of Feathercraft folding kayaks is simply unparalleled - the boats are simply the best folding kayaks ever made! Doug and his team are always improving the high quality of their kayaks. Our clients truly enjoy our fleets of Feathercraft Kayaks -- from the remote Tropics to the Polar Regions."- Olaf Malver, Explorers Corner

  "We use Feathercraft Kayaks when paddling in more remote locations, where reliability is essential to the success of an expedition. Our guesets appreciate both comfort and performance in their design." - Dave Thoss, Guide/Owner

  February 2007 Sea Kayaker Magazine: Through Others' Eyes : Blind Kayak Expedition to Greenland : Led by Baldvin Kristjansson .... "For my part, I've led trips and expeditions in Greenland for several years... My challenge with this group was to paddle a difficult part of the coast with two paddlers who many might consider a liability... Our aim was simply to work hard and do our best -- and show that blind doesn't mean unable."
