Our largest and burliest packraft, the self-bailing Forager delivers family seating and massive cargo capacity in a whitewater-worthy backpackable package. Perfect for family river adventures, fly-in tandem lightwater and whitewater trips, and backcountry big game hunting.

Base configuration - Tandem & Solo front seats sold separately

The Forager is light enough to backpack for two. Want to load it up? The Forager’s XL Cargo Fly will take hundreds of pounds of cargo and keep it safe and dry while improving stability and handling.

If you are looking for a multi-person packraft that can handle everything from a classic western river trip, to fly-in trips to the remote areas of Alaska, to self-supported big game hunting, to backcountry drift boat fishing to worldwide travel, the Forager has all your bases covered.

The Forager can be paddled either by kayak-style paddle from the stern or with two canoe-style paddles with two adults. In single paddler kayak mode, you can load up the front with the family, pets, or extra gear on a backcountry hunt. In two paddler R2 mode, experienced paddlers can take on classics like the Grand Canyon and Middle Fork of the Salmon. We recommend the Aqua Bound Shred Apart paddle with the Forager.

Forager passenger platform seat sold separately.

Add a Pack-A-Pump to ensure peak inflation.

Weight: 6.3 kg

Build Configurations

Self Bailing

The Forager is available only in a self bailing configuration.

Cargo Fly Zipper

Our innovative Cargo Fly internal storage system comes standard on the Gnarwhal. 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 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.
