Alpacka Raft Custom Boat: The Classic Open + Self Bailing + Cargo Fly

Way back in 2000, after suffering through endless tears and repairs of our cheap “pool toy” quality boats, Alpacka had a dream of making a true wilderness worthy packraft—a boat that was light enough to fit in a backpack yet would not let you down in the cold, rocky rivers of the Alaskan Arctic. Thus, the original Alpacka Raft was born and a new era of packrafting began. Little did Alpacka know packrafts would not only change backcountry travel, but also deliver a fun and easy new way to enjoy your local rivers and lakes. As packrafting has evolved, so has the original line-up of the Alpacka, Yak, and Llama. Alpacka has decided to return to their roots with the Classic, a simple, elegant packraft with options to fit every budget.

The Classic keeps it simple with the adventure tested Classic Hull, a no fuss seating system, minimalist attachments, and bombproof materials and construction.

*NOTE: the build and features of this boat were customized by Neptune Mountaineering. This boat features an open build and comes equipped with a self bailing floor and Cargo Fly zipper for internal storage.

Please note: we do not accept returns on packrafts

Sizing & Specifications:
The chart in the images shows the recommended size based on sit length and the Classic’s fit profile. To determine your sit length, sit against a wall with your legs flat (wearing your preferred paddling shoes) and measure the distance from the wall to your heels. The Classic is sized for a relaxed fit, meaning that a typical paddler in the recommended size can fully extend their legs and not touch the bow unless they point their toes when sitting in the boat. You can size up or down for a more performance or relaxed fit.
