Alpacka Raft: Mule Open + Self Bailing + Cargo Fly

We get it. Whether its packs, shoes, or sleeping bags, if you are big and tall, finding high performance outdoor gear is hard. Alpacka makes it easy with the Mule, a spacious and super stable backcountry packraft that will comfortably carry a 250+ pound paddler and 100 pounds of gear without feeling bogged down.

The Mule is also an ideal solo hunting & fishing packraft, with capacity to carry out medium sized animal, and backpackable size and weight. Its perfect for sheep or caribou hunts and sneaking into remote rivers for a little fishing and relaxation.

The Mule is built with an 11.7-inch diameter Cargo Hull, which features our center panel stern and late rise bow to maximize stability, buoyancy, leg room, and cargo capacity. You can build your Mule with Open, Removeable Whitewater Deck, and Self Bailing configurations, plus you can add our innovative Cargo Fly zipper internal storage system.* Additional options are also available in the Custom Lab.

*NOTE: the build and features of this boat were customized by Neptune Mountaineering. This boat features an Open build, self bailing feature, and Cargo Fly zipper for internal storage.

Please note: we do not accept returns on packrafts
