The Pack Raft Inflatable kayak is a lightweight PVC dinghy built for people who want to get out on the water without lugging heavy gear. At just 10.3 kg, it folds down small enough to fit in a backpack or car boot. Set it up at the riverbank in minutes.
The hull uses 0.6mm reinforced PVC with a multi-chamber design and separate air valves. This means one puncture won't sink the whole raft. The drop-stitch floor keeps the base rigid, so it handles more like a hard-shell kayak than a typical blow-up boat.
It holds up to 200 kg, enough for one or two paddlers plus gear. The kit comes with a pump, paddle, fins, seat cushions, floorboard and a repair kit. Good for fishing, lake floats and light white water.
Using the included manual pump and the high-flow valve, most people inflate this raft fully within 5 to 10 minutes. No electric pump is required, though you can use one if you own a compatible model. The valve design lets air in quickly while stopping it escaping when you stop pumping.
The raft has a load capacity of 200 kg. This covers one or two paddlers along with kit such as fishing gear, a dry bag or a small cooler. Keep total weight under this limit to maintain stability and freeboard.
The listing mentions white water rafting as a use case and the reinforced PVC hull and rigid drop-stitch floor help it handle choppier conditions. That said, it's built as a general-purpose packraft rather than a dedicated white water boat, so stick to mild to moderate rapids rather than serious grade rapids.
Yes. The raft can be fitted with an underwater propulsion system for motorised travel, in addition to being paddled manually with the included double-ended oar. This gives you the option to cover more distance with less effort if you add a compatible thruster.
You get the raft itself, a storage backpack, a drop-stitch floorboard, a fin, a repair kit, an air pump, a double-ended oar and two seat cushions. This covers everything needed for a first outing without buying extra accessories.
The raft comes with a repair kit designed for small cracks or holes in the PVC hull. Clean the damaged area, apply the patch from the kit following the instructions provided and allow it to cure before reinflating. The multi-chamber design means a small puncture in one chamber will not deflate the whole raft immediately.
Inflated, the raft measures 245 cm long, 110 cm wide and 45 cm high externally, with an internal cockpit of 160 cm by 50 cm by 36 cm. Deflated and folded, it packs down small enough to fit in the included backpack, in a bike pannier or in a car boot.
It's designed for 1 to 2 people. With one paddler you get more room for gear, while two paddlers can share rowing duties on longer trips. Either way, keep combined weight of passengers and gear under the 200 kg limit.
