Travel-Ready Expedition Sea Packraft

Your sea kayak, now check-in friendly.
The Aleutian blends packraft portability with true sea-kayak performance—fast, efficient, and stable for crossings where wind and swell are real factors. Slip it into your luggage and explore the Greek Islands, Norway’s fjords, or Greenland’s ice-sculpted coastlines without paying for bulky boat transport.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Sea-Kayak Glide – slender baffled hull tracks straight and eats up miles on open water.
  • Expedition Outfitting – 4-point thigh straps, foam back-band, full-length inflatable floor, lace-in seat, spray deck, and removable skeg for dialled-in control.
  • Cargo Fly Storage – internal zipper keeps multi-day gear dry and balanced.
  • Travel Freedom – packs small enough for checked baggage, bush planes, or water taxis—go places hardshells can’t.
  • Confidence in Chop – Valkyrie-inspired flat-water performance with reassuring stability when conditions kick up.

Perfect For

  • Coastal touring on Vancouver Island, Lofoten, or the Alaskan Inside Passage
  • Remote island-hopping trips where transport is limited or expensive
  • Paddlers who already own a sea kayak but want a go-anywhere, fly-anywhere option
  • Multi-day missions that mix ferries, floatplanes, and backcountry shorelines

Gear Tips

  • Pack-A-Pump required to hit full pressure and smooth creasing at the hips.
  • A small dry bag with day gear doubles as a foot brace for comfort and leverage.

The Aleutian won’t replace your composite sea kayak—it will expand the places you can paddle one. Load it up, launch anywhere, and cover serious miles with confidence.

Sheri Tingey (Alpacka Rafts Founder) has been working on a packraft sea kayak for over 15 years, longer than any other Alpacka design. We've chased a lot of good ideas and a lot of dead ends over this time, but the wait was worth it. The Aleutian offers the closest thing you can get to a traditional sea kayak for performance, but in a travel friendly inflatable package.

BEST USE and COMPARISON

SEA KAYAKING
The Aleutian is the perfect travel sea kayak for paddlers exploring coastlines and large lakes. If you are fortunate enough to live near great sea kayaking, the Aleutian won't replace your hard shell. But if you need to fly, you are stuck with costs and limits of going through a rental shop. The Aleutian will allow you to go anywhere in the world that you want and still have a performance sea kayak to get out on the water when you hit your destination.

OPEN WATER
The Aleutian is the only packraft in our lineup adequate for open water paddling. However, open water can be as committing and dangerous as Class V whitewater and should only be attempted by experienced expert level paddlers with proper safety equipment and backup.

LARGE RIVERS
While the Aleutian is a bit long to be maneuverable on small rivers, its a great option for down river adventures on large flatwater rivers.

ALEUTIAN VS CHINOOK
Between the Aleutian and Chinook, choose the Aleutian if your adventures are more focused on traditional sea kayaking routes and locations. Places like Prince William Sound, the San Juans, Norway, Patagonia's Fjords, or Glacier Bay. Choose the Chinook if you want a fast flatwater packraft with versatility for hiking, smaller rivers, and more backcountry travel where you plan to hike with your boat.

ALEUTIAN VS ZEPHYR
The Aleutian is closest in performance to a traditional sea kayak, while the Zephyr is closest in performance to a traditional recreational kayak. The Aleutian is better suited for coastal paddling in colder climates while the Zephyr is better for day trips in protected warmer waters.

MATERIALS
Proprietary TPU Coated 400d Vectran hull and 840d nylon floor. This is the last of our 400d Vectran supply and we chose it for its superior rigidity. Vectran is more tear resistant but also more prone to small scrapes and abrasions than nylon, so the Aleutian should be handled with care around coral, sharp rocks and when landing on rocky beaches.

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

BUILD CONFIGURATIONS

FLATWATER SPRAY DECK
The Aleutian comes standard with the Aleutian Spray Deck, which keeps the boat dry in waves and spray. The Spray Deck features a large kayak style cockpit and includes a one-piece PEX skirt rim. The Aleutian Spray Deck has multiple strap plates for lashing gear and attaching a Bow Bag. Spray skirts sold separately.

CARGO FLY
A standard option on the Aleutian, the Cargo Fly is the ultimate packraft gear storage solution. It features an airtight zipper installed in the stern of the boat to allow you to load 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. The Cargo Fly is perfect for expeditions, performance, and keeping your gear dry in any conditions.

Small Internal Dry Bags may be purchased separately and are designed to work with the Cargo Fly system. The bags clip in place along each side of the tubes with a side release buckle and allow for better organization and weight balance than placing the contents of your pack loose inside the Cargo Fly. They also act as additional balanced air chambers to make it easier to get to shore in the event of a puncture.
