Packrafts

Born in Alaska, Built for the World

Our packrafts are light, rugged, hand-built boats. Whether used for fishing a remote alpine lake, descending a famed backcountry river, or just exploring a little wetland on the side of the road, they make the joy and discovery of wilderness boating accessible. We build them to be fun, and to last - all the way from the "back 40" to Antarctica.

"The invisible boat": Alpacka rafts are light, tough, packable, low-maintenance, quick to inflate, and intuitive to paddle.

Red Boats on Pre-Order: We expect to be shipping red boats around February 1st. We've got our other colors in stock.

Whitewater Rescue is back in the lower 48: for whitewater lovers, Scott Solle is teaching another packrafter's WRT course in Utah this summer.

Alpaca Our smallest and lightest boat, the Alpaca is perfect for small paddlers, adventure racers, and ultralight travelers.	Yukon Yak The Yukon Yak is our versatile mid-sized boat, and a good fit for most paddlers.	Denali Llama The Denali Llama is our largest all-purpose / whitewater-style raft, great for taller paddlers, large cargo, or two people in the right situations.	Fjord Explorer The Fjord Explorer is our rowboat, heavy-cargo freighter, "moose boat," and much more.
Unrigged Explorer An Explorer hull without the extras: no oarframe, oars, skeg, or seat.	Double Duck Our 2-person calm water boat is designed to be paddled by two people with gear, either canoe-style or with two kayak paddles.	Scout Lightest and simplest of all Alpackas, the Scout is a river-floating / lake boat for calm and C-II water. Weight: 3 lbs. 3 oz.	Attached Spray Deck Our spray decks are designed to keep you warmer and drier in whitewater, wind, rain, or just plain freezing conditions.
