Alpacka Forager Packraft – Expedition-Ready, Big Water Capable
The Alpacka Forager is the ultimate wilderness-hauling packraft for big rivers, remote hunting and fishing trips, and extended expedition travel. With a spacious open cockpit and confidence-inspiring hull, it carries you, a partner, and serious gear through moving water with stability and control.
Built with expedition-grade fabrics and reinforced wear zones, the Forager blends packable portability with true whitewater competence. Add lash points, high-volume bow and stern, and optional internal gear storage, and you’ve got the go-to boat for multi-day objectives far from the road.
Big Volume, Stable Handling
A long waterline, generous tube volume, and balanced rocker provide dependable tracking on mellow miles and composed handling in rougher water. The wide platform boosts stability for loaded missions, while the hull shape maintains efficient forward speed when you’re covering distance.
Durable & Field-Repairable
Premium coated fabrics, welded seams, and strategic reinforcements stand up to abrasion and river abuse. The boat is field-repairable with common packraft patch kits so you can keep moving when you’re days from a trailhead.
