Ultimate Multi-Person Expedition Packraft (2026)

Alpacka’s biggest, burliest self-bailer just got better. The 2026 Forager delivers family-size seating and massive cargo capacity in a whitewater-worthy, backpackable package—perfect for backcountry hunting, drift-boat fishing, fly-in river expeditions, or loading the kids and dog for a weekend float.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Carry It or Load It – light enough to backpack for two, yet its XL Cargo Fly swallows hundreds of pounds of gear and keeps it dry.
  • Two-in-One Seating – swap between solo (stern kayak-paddle mode) and tandem R2 canoe-paddle mode; three seat kits available (solo, tandem, or base).
  • River-Ready Stability – wide beam and self-bailing floor tame lightwater and classic whitewater runs alike.
  • Adventure Versatility – family camping, big-game hunts, Grand Canyon laps, or worldwide travel—all in one duffel bag.

2026 Upgrades

  • Re-engineered hull & floor for improved buoyancy and faster draining.
  • Revised seating geometry for better trim in both solo and tandem configurations.
  • Enhanced durability with reinforced wear panels and updated grab-loops.

Paddling Set-ups

  • Solo kayak style – stern seat + 240 cm Aqua-Bound Shred-Apart paddle; front holds family, pets, or mountain harvest.
  • Tandem R2 style – two canoe paddles for tighter maneuvering in whitewater.
    (Solo and tandem seats sold separately; cannot be used simultaneously.)

Pack it. Fly it. Float it. From Alaska fly-ins to Alpine family floats, the Forager covers every big-boat adventure with true packraft freedom.

BEST USE and COMPARISON

FAMILY: KIDS & DOGS
The Forager is our most popular family packraft for the whole crew. From dogs to kids, the Forager can fit the whole family. We love having one paddler sitting on the stern and another on the passenger seat with a kid in front and dog behind the passenger, or remove the passenger seat and have the adult face back with the kid and dog in the middle between paddlers. If you only have one adult, get the Solo Configuration which provides a great paddling position for the parent and plenty of space for the kids and dogs. Great for flatwater and lightwater adventures.

HUNTING
The Forager is the ultimate hunting packraft for big game with plenty of room for deer, elk, caribou and sheep sized game. Its also the only packraft in our lineup which can reasonably transport a moose in a single load. Also a great setup with a dog and decoys for waterfowl hunting. We recommend the Solo Configuration for hunting.

FISHING
The Forager is a great mini-drift boat style fishing craft, especially on lightwater or occasional whitewater. The stern person paddles while the front person fishes off the bow. We recommend the tandem configuration for fishing with two adults and the solo configuration for fishing with one adult. However, we prefer the seating position of the Rendezvous for flatwater with occasional lightwater.

FLATWATER
The Forager is our best multi-person flatwater packraft when you want to pack along the whole family plus gear. The Rendezvous is more comfortable for two adults on longer trips. But the Forager can handle the widest range of passengers and gear.

LIGHTWATER
Similar to flatwater, the Forager is the best tandem packraft we have for family lightwater trips. The self-bailing floor will quickly drain out any waves that come over the side. It can also be paddled either by a single paddler in the stern with a kayak paddle or two paddlers with canoe paddles.

WHITEWATER
The Forager is our only multi-person packraft suitable for whitewater. With two experienced paddlers using the Aqua Bound Shred Apart in canoe mode, a loaded Forager is great fun in both smaller rivers and big water up to Class III/IV.

FORAGER VS RENDEZVOUS
The Forager, Rendezvous are best separated by purpose. The Forger offers the versatility of being family friendly, whitewater capable, and the best model for hunting. The Rendezvous is the best for fishing and provides extra comfortable seating for flatwater trips for two adults.

FEATURES

ATTACHEMENTS
4 stern grab loops, 4 bow grab loops, two stern strap plates, two stern lace seat tabs, 2 lightweight D-rings on each side for lashing cargo, and 1 bow handle. You can run a bow bag on both the bow and stern.

SEATING
Inflatable Forager Floor Pad (Included)

Solo Seating Configuration: Lace-In Solo Seat and Inflatable Backrest

Tandem Seating Configuration: Forager Platform seat for front passenger

TANDEM & SOLO SEATING
Forager Platform Seat and Lace-In Solo Seat and Inflatable Backrest. You cannot use both the Solo Seat and Forager Platform Seat at the same time, but you can deflate the Solo Seat rather than removing it while using the Platform Seat.

MATERIALS
Proprietary TPU coated 420d nylon hull and 840d nylon floor (Made in USA).

INCLUDES
Inflation Bag, Stuff Sack, Cargo Fly Kit, and Basic Repair Kit

BUILD CONFIGURATIONS

SELF BAILING
The Forager is available only in a self bailing configuration.

SOLO SEAT CONFIGURATION
The solo seating configuration includes the Ranger lace-in seat.

TANDEM SEATING CONFIGURATION
Tandem seating configuration includes the Forager Passenger seat.

CARGO FLY ZIPER
Our innovative Cargo Fly internal storage system comes standard on the Forager. The Cargo Fly features an airtight zipper installed in the stern of the boat to allow you to store your gear inside the tubes. The system provides drier and more secure gear storage and improved paddling performance due to a lower center of gravity.

Internal Dry Bags may be purchased separately and are designed to work with the Cargo Fly system. The bags slip inside the Cargo Fly zipper and can be organized along the inside of the tubes to balance the load. The Forager has internal attachments to clip the dry bags in place. The XL Internal Dry Bags are sized to fit with the Forager hull size, but the Roll-Top and Zippered Dry Bags will work as well. We recommend 1-2 sets of bags for the Forager.
