Aquaglide Chelan Inflatable Kayak Review
Suggested Accessories
Pump
Bravo 10D Pump
Fast to inflate and equipped with an integrated pressure gauge, the Bravo 10D is the ideal pump for the Chelan 120. We specifically tested this pump with the Chelan and found it to be functionally superior to any other model we’ve used, making inflation quicker, easier, and more accurate. See more here
Paddles
For optimal performance, we recommend a 230–240cm, two-piece kayak paddle. This length suits the Chelan’s width and the elevated seating position, while the split design complements the kayak’s compact transport and storage.
Both Bravo and Palm paddles are excellent choices, offering reliable performance at two different price points.

We hope that your next purchase from our store will be a long term one, so why not make use of our 0% APR finance offer. The scheme is run through V12 and our experience, as well as that of our customers, has been excellent.
The 0% APR finance option allows you to spread the cost of your purchase over 6 or 10 months.

As such, once your basket is finalised and you are ready to apply please get in touch using [email protected], or by phone on 01924 444888.
